A copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) semiconductor can be used as an effective counter‐electrode (CE) material in place of platinum metal, yielding low‐cost, high‐efficiency dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). CZTS nanocrystals were synthesized and then spin‐coated on fluorine‐doped tin oxide (FTO) glass. After selenization, the power conversion efficiency of the resulting DSSC was comparable that with a Pt CE.
