Facile synthesis of tungsten carbide nanorods and its application as counter electrode in dye sensitized solar cells

Tungsten carbide nanorods (WC-NRs) are synthesized by pseudomorphic transformation of chemically synthesized W3O8 nanorods using a high-temperature method. The WC-NRs was introduced into dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) as counter electrode (CE) catalyst to replace the expensive platinum (Pt). The s...
