As an alternative to platinum (Pt), hybrid electrocatalysts based on sulfur‐doped graphene with FeS2 microspheres (SGN‐FeS2) were used as a counter electrode (CE) in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Benefiting from the high conductivity of SGN and excellent electrocatalytic activity of the FeS2, the bifunctional hybrid electrocatalyst‐based device displays a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.1%, which is comparable to that (8.3%) of traditional Pt CE‐based DSSC, while also exhibiting excellent stability in ambient conditions. These characteristics, in addition to its low‐cost and facile preparation, make the SGN–FeS2 ...
