Abstract

Porous chalcogels CoMoS₄ and NiMoS₄ made by a facile solution reaction displayed good electrocatalytic activity in the redox reaction of the I⁻/I₃⁻ shuttle. Dye-sensitized solar cells with these ternary compounds as counter electrodes (CEs) showed photovoltaic performance similar to the devices made with noble metal platinum CE (7.46%).
