Abstract
⺠Tantalum oxide and tantalum pentoxide were synthesized using a simple and facile chemical route. ⺠Tantalum oxide and tantalum pentoxide as catalysts were firstly tested for use in the DSC system. ⺠Tantalum oxide as a CE in DSCs shows a highly Pt-like electrocatalytic activity. ⺠TaO-DSC shows a higher PCE (6.48%), reaching 90.5% of the level obtained using Pt as a CE (7.16%). ⺠Tantalum oxide has great potential for substitution of Pt in DSCs while providing comparable performance.
