The facile preparation of a cobalt disulfide-reduced graphene oxide composite film as an efficient counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells

Cobalt disulfide (CoS2)-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composite (CSG) films, which are prepared by combining the layer by layer assembly method and thermal treatment process, are used as counter electrodes (CEs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The DSSC with CSG CE exhibits comparable efficiency to the cell with the Pt CE.
