The development of low cost electrocatalysts with excellent I-/I3- redox reaction efficiency is critically important for practical applications of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Nevertheless, it is difficult to simultaneously improve the activity and stability of catalysts. Herein, heterogeneous FeNi3/NiFe2O4 nanoparticles are successfully embedded in modified graphene (mGr) matrix with network structure. As-prepared FeNi3/NiFe2O4@mGr shows excellent electrocatalytic activities and high stability. The DSSCs with FeNi3/NiFe2O4@mGr as counter electrodes demonstrate a high power conversion efficiency of 12.14%, which is superior to that of platinum (Pt, 8.31%). Also, the FeNi3/NiFe2O4@mGr device remains 90% efficiency up to 42 days under ambient conditions without encapsulation. Therefore, the FeNi3/NiFe2O4@mGr composite can be further developed as an environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and efficient counter electrode material for DSSCs.

改性石墨烯作为电催化剂的高性能染料敏化太阳能电池非均质FeNi 3 / NiFe 2 O 4纳米粒子
低成本电催化剂具有优良的余发展- / I 3 -氧化还原反应效率为染料敏化太阳能电池(DSSC)的实际应用中是至关重要的。然而,难以同时提高催化剂的活性和稳定性。本文成功地将异质FeNi 3 / NiFe 2 O 4纳米颗粒嵌入具有网络结构的改性石墨烯(mGr)基质中。制备的FeNi 3 / NiFe 2 O 4 @mGr显示出优异的电催化活性和高稳定性。含FeNi 3 / NiFe 2 O 4的DSSC作为对电极的@mGr表现出12.14%的高功率转换效率,优于铂(Pt,8.31%)。同样,FeNi 3 / NiFe 2 O 4 @mGr器件在环境条件下长达42天仍能保持90%的效率,而无需封装。因此,FeNi 3 / NiFe 2 O 4 @mGr复合材料可以进一步发展为一种环保,廉价且有效的DSSC对电极材料。
