Electrocatalytic SiC Nanoparticles/PEDOT:PSS Composite Thin Films as the Counter Electrodes of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

The front cover artwork is provided by Professor Kuo-Chuan Ho’s Electro-optical Materials Lab at the Department of Chemical Engineering, National Taiwan University. The image shows a Pt-free composite of silicon carbide nanoparticles/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (SiC-NPs/PEDOT:PSS) as the counter electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), which has a good electrocatalytic ability for I-/I3-.
