Abstract Upconverting capability of hybrid nanostructure is promising potential candidate to dye-sensitized solar cell because of their unique properties to enhance of near-infrared light harvesting. In this paper, we reported a novel Ln-FTO and FTO-UCNP hybrid nanostructures and investigated their excellent optical and catalytic capability for using as the counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). FTO based on F-doped SnO2 was used as special catalyst with excellent chemical stability, and high efficiency for counter electrode materials in dye-sensitized solar cell. These observations by IPCE and SPS demonstrated high effect Near-infrared light to electricity to upconversion counter electrode, even than Pt electrode in terms of low cost, simple preparation and high solar-to-electric power conversion efficiency (PCE). We proved that this novel upconversion hybrid nanostructure opened new era to excellent materials in dye-sensitized solar cell with upconvertiong capability, decent catalytic properties, and good conductivity.
