Carbon-coated Ni₃S₄ nanoparticles supported on the surface of carbon nanofibers (Ni₃S₄@C/CNFs) was synthesized by electrospinning and hydrothermal methods. Then, the Ni₃S₄@C/CNFs counter electrode with film thickness of 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 μm were prepared by spraying method, and applied to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The effect of Ni₃S₄@C/CNFs electrode film thickness on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs was investigated. If the thickness of the counter electrode was too small, there were not enough catalytically active sites to reduce I^3-. However, if the thickness of the counter electrode was too large, the connectivity of the counter electrode film may be deteriorated, and the electron transmission distance may be increased. Therefore, the resistance increased, and the recombination probability of the electron also increased. According to the results, when the Ni₃S₄@C/CNFs counter electrode film thickness was 9 μm, DSSCs achieved the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.45%.
