MXenes (where, M denotes a transition metal, and X is either carbon or nitrogen) are a large class of two-dimensional nanomaterials, composed of early-transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides that present an exceptional combination of high electrical conductivity, strength, flexibility, and volumetric capacitance. In this study, hybrid solar cells (HSCs) with a basic configuration of glass/F-doped tin oxide(FTO)/TiO2:dye/electrolyte/Pt catalyst/FTO/glass were fabricated, and the photovoltaic properties of HSCs with or without Nb2CTx MXene in poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)/ionic liquid(I−)-based electrolytes were investigated. A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.23% was achieved in a P3HT/I−/Nb2CTx-based cell, while 2.26% PCE was recorded in P3HT/I−-based cell without Nb2CTx MXene.
