“…Such inductive behaviour could be due to the lag in the time taken by the electrons to get transferred from the front electrode to the TiO 2 layer and in the time required for the modulation of hole concentration. 33 However, for the DSSC with Ni (4%) WSe 2 CE, the capacitance values decreased with an increase in frequency up to 1 MHz. Upon illumination, the values of capacitance improved compared to the dark ones because of the stronger coupling between the capacitances of the various layers of the DSSCs.…”

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are gaining considerable interest as substitutes to solar cells based on semiconductor thin-films owing to their costeffective and effortless fabrication methods. Efforts are being made to replace counter electrodes (CE) in DSSCs, which are conventionally based on noble metal platinum (Pt). Among the new materials as CE, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide is one of the most explored to develop Pt-free DSSCs. We report here the preparation of TiO 2 -based DSSCs using beetroot (Beta vulgaris) extracts as sensitizers with carbon-, pristine-, and Ni (4%)-doped WSe 2 as the CEs. The Ni (4%) WSe 2 CE exhibited a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.66% under the illumination of 100 mW cm À2 .The electrical characteristics, including I-V, C-V, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, corroborate the better efficiency of Ni (4%) WSe 2 CE. The cost-effectiveness and efficiencies obtained for Pure and Ni (4%) WSe 2 make them a worthy candidate as CE for DSSCs.
