Graphene-wrapped iron carbide nanoparticles (Fe3C@G) are employed as an alternative counter electrode to Pt in dye-sensitized solar cell via a convenient magnetic field induced assembly method. Benefit from the novel binder-free electrode fabrication route, the Fe3C@G nanosheets orderly are deposited on the FTO glass to form an effective catalyst layer with both favorable catalytic ability and electron migration rate. Comparable photovoltaic conversion efficiency with Pt endows the Fe3C@G a promising counter electrode for low cost but high performance dye-sensitized solar cells. Moreover, the magnetic field induced assembly method also shows potential application for other magnetic materials towards counter electrode. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
