| Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are known as new generation solar cell of photovoltaic technologies (PV), and have become hotspot topic in the PV research. DSSCs include four main components such as photoanode, counter electrode, dye, and electrolyte. The counter electrode is a vital component of DSSCs which has a significant effect on the solar cell performance and cost of the devices. In this research, CuO nanorod/carbon nanofiber (CuO/CNF) thin films are produced with the diameter of nanorods and vary from 10 to 50 nm as counter electrodes (CEs) for DSSCs. The applications of as-synthesized materials were also investigated in the field of photocatalysis. It was shown that CuO/CNF CE–based solar cells exhibited 6.5% solar cell efficiency (η) under solar irradiation. We demonstrate that CuO nanorods can be good alternatives for expensive platinum as it is composed of inexpensive and abundant … |
