Abstract:
Transition metal selenides with porous structure have a brightly prospects due to their low cost, large surface area, high catalytic efficiency, and facile synthetic method comparing with Pt-based electrocatalytic materials in power transformation systems. Herein, we have successfully prepared porous structure transition metal sele-nide CoSe2/NiSe2/MoSe2 nanospheres through simple solvothermal method and stepwise selenization process from glycerol precursor nanospheres. Uniform selenide nanoparticles were formed on the surface of the porous nanospheres. The resultant CoSe2/NiSe2/MoSe2 porous nanospheres not only provided more redox pairs, but also had better electron transfer performance and shorter charge transfer distance between the electrolyte and the electrode materials, accelerating the charge transfer process. Therefore, CoSe2/NiSe2/MoSe2 nanospheres delivered excellent electrochemical performance in dye-sensitized solar cells which achieved an excellent power conversion efficiency of 9.49% comparing to the cell based on Pt (8.28%). This work can offer a new vision on the design of high-performance, environment-friendly, and Pt-free electrocatalysts for solar cells.
