摘要: Abstract In this study, one- and two-step chemical reduction methods were compared in terms of the production Pt/graphene nanocomposites with low platinum (Pt)-loadings. Cyclic voltammetry electrical impedance analysis indicated that composites displayed high electrocatalytic activity respect to iodide/triiodide. Furthermore, Pt/RGO deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrates by drop coating applied as counter electrodes (CEs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The energy conversion efficiency DSSCs based CEs (prepared using one-step method) was only 0.9% lower than Pt CE-based cell.
