A composite catalytic film of Ni-NPs/PEDOT: PSS for the counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells

The POEM-dispersed Ni-NPs were incorporated with PEDOT:PSS as the electro-catalytic composite film for the CE of a DSSC. The η of the DSSC using Ni-NPs/PEDOT:PSS CE (7.81%) is better than that of the cell with a Pt CE (7.63%). The Ni-NPs/PEDOT:PSS CE showed an unfailing stability after long-term potential cycling.
