Abstract
To improve performance of dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC), thermally reduced graphene oxide(rGO) was investigated as Pt-free counter electrodes(CE) material. The DSSCs with rGO were fabrcated by simple spin coating method under different temperature and ambient atmospheres like Ar, N2 and air. When the rGO CE was reduced at 450°C under the Ar atmosphere, it was obtained the power conversion efficiency of 6.02%, which showed the high catalytic activity and performance of DSSC as much as Pt. This value means the thermally reduced rGO CEs under the Ar gas will be suitable as a substitute for Pt CEs.
