Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201570066-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A graphdiyne nanosheet/Pt nanoparticle composite shows outstanding catalytic activity for the reaction of I₃^‐/I^‐ redox pairs as the counter electrode for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In article number 1500296, Ranbo Yu and co‐workers report that it is easier to form a chemical interaction between Pt and graphdiyne, leading to enhanced electron transfer ability. The graphdiyne‐based DSSC shows comparable efficiency to precious Pt foil and higher efficiency than reduced graphene oxide/Pt nanoparticle composite, Pt nanoparticle‐based DSSCs. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj111dmn4v" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
