Abstract In the last two decades, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have gotten a lot of attention from researchers and have progressed quickly. To promote commercialization and large-scale application of DSSCs, their efficiency should be increased. This paper details significant advancements in advanced NiMoS3/BC nanocomposites for improving photoanodes and DSSC conversion efficiencies. The fabricated electrode samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, UV, PL and BET to explore the structural, morphological and optical properties. A significant reduction band gap with enhanced light absorption and rapid prevention of electron hole pair was explored by UV-DRS and PL studies. The photocurrent density-voltage (J-V) and IPCE characteristics were analyzed for assembled solar cell. The NiMoS3/BC (NMSC5) nanocomposite DSSC showed a PCE of 8.85%, far higher than that of the NiMoS3 (2.45%) and a PCE value equivalent to Pt CE (4.79 %). The enhanced PCE of the proposed electrodes are also discussed in scientifically.
