摘要
Metal selenides have been proposed as counter electrodes (CEs) to substitute for Pt in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to their good catalytic activity for the reduction of triiodide. In this paper, NiSe2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile, room-temperature process and used as the CEs. In order to further enhance the photovoltaic property, graphene was introduced by facile physical mixing. Eventually, with the assistance of graphene, NiSe2 + 6 wt% graphene CE exhibited better power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared with Pt CE. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
