Influence of thickness and morphology of MoS₂ on the performance of counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells.

ABSTRACT: Non-platinum electrodes for photoelectric devices are challenging and attractive to the scientific community. A thin film of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) was prepared on substrates coated with fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) to substitute the platinum counter electrode (CE) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Herein, we synthesized layered and honeycomb-like MoS₂ thin films via the cyclic voltammetry (CV) route. Thickness and morphology of the MoS₂ thin films were controlled via the concentration of precursor solution. The obtained results showed that MoS₂ thin films formed at a low precursor concentration had a layered morphology while a honeycomb-like MoS₂ thin film was formed at a high precursor concentration. Both types of MoS
