Abstract

Molybdenum sulfide (MoS(2)) and tungsten sulfide (WS(2)) are proposed as counter electrode (CE) catalysts in a I(3)(-)/I(-) and T(2)/T(-) based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) system. The I(3)(-)/I(-) based DSCs using MoS(2) and WS(2) CEs achieved power conversion efficiencies of 7.59% and 7.73%, respectively.
