Cobaltosic sulfide (Co₃S₄) was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis method. Combining the ball grinding mill and spray method, Co₃S₄ was prepared into counter electrode (CE) and fabricated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) with the novel electrolyte Co²⁺/Co³⁺. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) obtained by the DSCs based on the pure Co₃S₄ CE was only 6.06%, which was much smaller than that of Pt (8.05%). To improve the catalytic activity of pure Co₃S₄, electrospun carbon nanofibers (ECs) were fabricated by the electrospun method and the composite of ECs supported cobaltosic sulfide (Co₃S₄/ECs) was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis method. And the DSCs based on Co₃S₄/ECs CE achieved a high PCE of (8.22±0.08)%, which was a little higher than that of Pt (8.05%).
