摘要 Pt-freecounterelectrode(CE)composedofLa2MoO6(La2O3-MoO3)wassuccessfullysynthesizedbysimplepyrolysisoflanthanumacetate(C6H9O6La·xH2O)andhexaammoniumheptamolybdatetetrahydrate((NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O).Furthermore,threeproportionscompositescatalystsofLa2MoO6@MWCNTsbasedonLa2MoO6andmultiwallcarbonnanotubes(MWCNTs)werepreparedandcharacterizedasPtfreecatalystforCEindye-sensitizedsolarcells(DSSCs).ThemorphologyandstructureofLa2MoO6@MWCNTscompositesweredeterminedbyscanningelectronmicroscopy,transmissionelectronmicroscopeandX-raydiffraction.TheelectrochemicalperformanceofLa2MoO6@MWCNTscompositecatalystsforCEswasdeterminedbyphotocurrent-voltagemeasurements,cyclicvoltammetry,electrochemicalimpedancespectroscopy,andTafelpolarization.Thepowerconversionefficienciesof4.68%,4.87%and5.06%areobtainedforLa2MoO6:MWCNTswiththemassratiosof5:1,3:1and1:1towardsthereductionofI3-toI-underthesameconditions,respectively,whicharesuperiortothoseofMWCNTs(3,94%)andLa2MoO6(1.71%)electrodes.TheexperimentalresultsrevealthatthepresenceofMWCNTsresultsinanaugmentedactivecatalyticsurfaceareaandenhancedchargetransferfromCEtotheelectrolyte.
