Copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) mesocrystals: A potential counter electrode material for dye-sensitized solar cells

Dye sensitized solar cells are commonly fabricated using expensive platinum as a counter electrode material. We demonstrate for the first time the use of CuSbS2 as a replacement for platinum in dye sensitized solar cells. The performance of solar cells using CuSbS2 is found to be comparable with that using platinum counter electrode. & 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
