Efficient One-Step Synthesis of a Pt-Free Zn<sub>0.76</sub>Co<sub>0.24</sub>S Counter Electrode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells and Its Versatile Application in Photoelectrochromic Devices

Efficient One-Step Synthesis of a Pt-Free Zn<sub>0.76</sub>Co<sub>0.24</sub>S Counter Electrode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells and Its Versatile Application in Photoelectrochromic Devices

In this study, we synthesized a ternary transition metal sulfide, Zn<sub>0.76</sub>Co<sub>0.24</sub>S (ZCS-CE), using a one-step solvothermal method and explored its potential as a Pt-free counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Comprehensive investigations...
