Ni3S2@MWCNTs films for effective counter electrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Composite films nickel sulfide (Ni3S2) nanoparticles were grown on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and in situ coated onto conducting glass substrates by the hydrothermal process at 170 °C. These Ni3S2@MWCNTs films were applied for counter electrodes (CEs) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, nanostructure, crystalline structure, electrochemical activities and electron-charge transfer resistance of CEs were studied. In addition, the effective surface areas of CEs were analyzed and discussed as well. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhancement of up to 7.48%, compared with that of Ni3S2-DSSC, was demonstrated for a Ni3S2@MWCNTs DSSC.
