The aim is to evaluate a conductive metal-organic framework as a counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Developed a pristine conductive CuBHT MOF thin film.
Tested its performance as a counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells.
Compared efficiency to traditional platinum-based electrodes.
The CuBHT MOF thin film demonstrated comparable efficiency to platinum counter electrodes.
The approach is more cost-effective and scalable for solar cell applications.
Abstract
