摘要
Counter electrode (CE) is crucial in catalyzing triiodide reduction reaction and therefore in enhancing power conversion efficiency of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). We present here the alloying of Pt with Ni microtubes and Co nanosheets for cost-effective CE electrocatalyst using ZnO microrod templates. In comparison with pristine Pt electrode, the resultant PtNiCo alloy CE displays significantly elevated electrocatalytic activity and charge transfer ability, yielding an impressive efficiency of 8.85% in its liquid-junction DSSC platform.
