Fabrication of Mesoporous CoS2 Nanotube Arrays as the Counter Electrodes of Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Mesoporous cobalt sulfide nanotube arrays on FTO‐coated glass were synthesized by combining three simple technologies: the selective etching of ZnO sacrificial templates, mesoporous Co₃O₄ formation from cobalt‐chelated chitosan, and ion‐exchange reaction (IER). The mesoporous Co₃O₄ nanotubes composed of the Co₃O₄ nanoparticles possess a high surface area and are taken advantage for further removal of templates and IER. The morphologies and crystal structures of the CoS₂ nanotube arrays were characterized by SEM, TEM, and XRD analyses. Their electrocatalytic properties were determined by electrochemical analyses including cyclic voltammetry measurements and Tafel polarization. The DSSCs assembled with a CoS₂ counter electrode achieved a power conversion efficiency of 6.13 %, which was comparable to that of the DSSC with the Pt counter electrode (6.04 %). This indicates that the mesoporous CoS₂ nanotube array can be a low‐cost and efficient alternative for the reduction of electrolytes in DSSCs.     

A Graphene Composite Material with Single Cobalt Active Sites: A Highly Efficient Counter Electrode for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

The design of catalysts that are both highly active and stable is always challenging. Herein, we report that the incorporation of single metal active sites attached to the nitrogen atoms in the basal plane of graphene leads to composite materials with superior activity and stability when used as counter electrodes in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A series of composite materials based on different metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) were synthesized and characterized. Electrochemical measurements revealed that CoN₄/GN is a highly active and stable counter electrode for the interconversion of the redox couple I^?/I₃^?. DFT calculations revealed that the superior properties of CoN₄/GN are due to the appropriate adsorption energy of iodine on the confined Co sites, leading to a good balance between adsorption and desorption processes. Its superior electrochemical performance was further confirmed by fabricating DSSCs with CoN₄ /GN electrodes, which displayed a better power conversion efficiency than the Pt counterpart.

High‐Performance Platinum‐Free Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells with Molybdenum Disulfide Films as Counter Electrodes

By using a radio‐frequency sputtering method, we synthesized large‐area, uniform, and transparent molybdenum disulfide film electrodes (1, 3, 5, and 7 min) on transparent and conducting fluorine‐doped tin oxide (FTO), as ecofriendly, cost‐effective counter electrodes (CE) for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These CEs were used in place of the routinely used expensive platinum CEs for the catalytic reduction of a triiodide electrolyte. The structure and morphology of the MoS₂ was analyzed by using Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements and the DSSC characteristics were investigated. An unbroken film of MoS₂ was identified on the FTO crystallites from field‐emission scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel curve measurements reveal the promise of MoS₂ as a CE with a low charge‐transfer resistance, high electrocatalytic activity, and fast reaction kinetics for the reduction of triiodide to iodide. Finally, an optimized transparent MoS₂ CE, obtained after 5 min synthesis time, showed a high power‐conversion efficiency of 6.0 %, which comparable to the performance obtained with a Pt CE (6.6 %) when used in TiO₂‐based DSCCs, thus signifying the importance of sputtering time on DSSC performance.
