Abstract:This paper reports an efficient and simple strategy for the synthesis of molybdenum copper selenide (MoCuSe) nanoparticles decorated with a combination of a carbon nanotube (CNT) network and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets to form an integrated hybrid architecture (CNT@rGO@MoCuSe) using a two-step hydrothermal approach. The synthesized hybrid CNT@rGO@MoCuSe material onto the Ni foam substrate is applied successfully as an effective counter electrode (CE) in quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). … Show more

“…This paves the way towards future works focused on copper(I) complexes electrolytes 15,53 , thiolate/disulphide [54][55][56] for tandem solar cells, and polysulfides for quantum dot sensitized solar cells. 57,58 Experimental Materials Thiophene (extra purity ≥99%) and ferrocene (purity = 98%) were obtained from Acros Organics and 2-butanol (purity >99%) from Sigma Aldrich. Ferrocene was purified by a sublimation/recrystallization process.…”
Carbon nanotubes are a versatile platform to develop sustainable and stable electrodes for energy-related applications. However, their electrocatalytic activity is still poorly understood. This work deciphers the origin of the...
“…As discussed above, another function of electrolyte is transporting holes to CE side for reduction reaction under the catalysis of CE materials. It should be noted that the CE plays a crucial role in determining the photovoltaic performance of QDSCs, especially for the fill factor (FF) value of the solar cells [6,28,[45][46][47][48][49] . The electrolyte reduction reaction is mainly affected by two factors: the catalytic activity of CE and the property of electrolyte redox couple.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
