چکیده
A competitive power conversion efficiency of 7.01% is achieved for TiO2-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using a chemically stable and mechanically robust molybdenum di-sulfide (MoS2) counter electrode, synthesized using a simple, scalable and low-temperature wet-chemical process, owing to its good redox reaction stability.

In this work, novel MoS2/nitrogen-doped carbon shell–core microspheres (MNCS) have been designed and prepared through the microwave-assisted method, and used as counter electrodes for platinum-free dyesensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The results show that as-prepared shell–core composite microspheres possess low charge transfer resistance and high electrocatalytic activity. When used as a counte...

We fabricated a highly efficient (with a solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency (η) of 8.1%) Pt-free dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The counter electrode was made of cobalt sulfide (CoS) nanoparticles synthesized via surfactant-assisted preparation of a metal organic framework, ZIF-67, with controllable particle sizes (50 to 320 nm) and subsequent oxidation and sulfide conversion. In con...
