Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to nickel-cobalt alloys as current collectors and conductive interconnects, and to methods of deposition thereof on transparent conductive oxides. The invention further relates to transparent conductive oxides on which a nickel-cobalt alloy is deposited and to electrodes made of such transparent conductive oxides for photochemical applications, in particular, for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for electrochemical or chemical deposition of a metal or an alloy on a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) surface, comprising: a) electrochemically reducing an upper layer of the TCO surface with a first electrolyte consisting of at least one halide salt in water, at least one halide salt in a polar organic solvent, or a combination thereof, to yield a reduced upper TCO layer, wherein the TCO is selected from the group consisting of indium oxi…
