Abstract

The direct conversion of CO₂ into 3D crape myrtle flower-like graphene by reaction with Na was invented. The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with the 3D graphene as a counter electrode exhibited a high energy conversion efficiency of 10.1%, which is much higher than that (7.69%) of the DSSC with an expensive Pt counter electrode.
