PbS nanocrystals with octahedron shape are synthesized by a low temperature approach with presence of cation/anion surfactants in aqueous solution. CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) based on these novel octahedron shaped PbS counter electrodes (CEs) are fabricated for the first time, achieving PCE of 1.54%. It is observed that the octahedron shaped PbS CE shows higher electrocatalytic activity compared with the Pt CE, indicating that the PbS nanocrystals with a uniformly distributed size is a superior candidate as CEs for QDSSCs application. This work may provide new route for preparing PbS from aqueous solvent medium through a simple synthesis route.
