Abstract

Monodispersed nanopompons and thin films of CuInS₂ with hierarchical nanostructure are obtained via a solvothermal method. The hierarchical thin film of CuInS₂ has been reported for the first time to display excellent catalytic activity as a counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells, and a power conversion efficiency of 4.8% is achieved.
