▎ 摘  要

In this report, CuCo2S4/graphene (abbreviated as CCS-G) hybrid electrodes were fabricated via facile and one step hydrothermal route. The fabricated electrodes were characterized by XRD, Raman, TEM, BET and XPS to investigate the structural, morphological and elemental composition properties. N-2 adsorption-desorption studies showed that CCS-G indicates the maximum specific area of 112 m(2) g(-1) related to CCS (77 m(2) g(-1)). The CuCo2S4/graphene electrode deliver a high specific capacitance 1625 F g(-1) at relative current density of 2 A g(-1) and high cyclic retention of 97% after 5000 cycles experiment. Interestingly, asymmetric device CCS-G//AC was fabricated and it shows high energy density of 27 Wh Kg(-1) with relative power density of 5100 W Kg(-1). The sandwich type dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was fabricated and tested the J-V and IPCE analysis. The finding reveals that CuCo2S4/graphene electrode shows high PCE (11.85%) and long term stability. The superior PCE of the composite is due to the heterostructure, mesoporous nature and high surface area with enhanced light harvesting capacity. Due to the high photovoltaic and electrocatalytic activity of CuCo2S4/graphene heterostructure can be useful for energy conversion and storage device applications.
