Counter electrodes are critical components of third generation solar cells. A simple strategy of utilizing iso-structural analogue of graphene, namely 2D molybdenum di-sulphide as nanohybrid with CuS as counter electrode is explored in this work. Formation of heterostructure photoanode with CdSe/CdS quantum dots along with nano-hybrid counter electrode has significantly boosted current density and open circuit voltage. The designed heterostructure and the counter electrode performs exceptionally well with good stability due to synergistic effect, thus spiking new hopes in achieving high efficiency in quantum dot solar cells.
