30. -1) would give the best result (the corresponding TEM images and transmission spectra are given in the Supporting Information as Figures S8 and S9, respectively). Furthermore, masking the rest of the active area by sputtering Pt for 10 min increases the electric conductivity of the counter electrode, which improves the cell performance significantly (Supporting Information Figure S10).
