摘要
Composite films of graphene and polystyreneslufonate doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (graphene/PEDOT-PSS) were deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by spin coating at room temperature and applied as counter electrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A 60 nm thick composite film (contained 1 wt% graphene) coated ITO electrode exhibited high transmittance (> 80%) at visible wavelengths and high electrocatalytic activity. The energy conversion efficiency of the cell with this film as counter electrode reached 4.5%, which is comparable to 6.3% of the cell with platinum counter electrode under the same experimental condition.
