What is it about?
Platinium(Pt)-free counter electrodes (CEs) are economical alternative components of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) . The development of these CE materials was driven mainly by desires to overcome the disadvantages of Pt, but stability issues has not been addressed. This review attempts to identify some of the key techniques to evaluate CE stability in DSSCs through a selective presentation of recent research highlights.

Perspectives
A counter electrode (CE) is a key component in any electrochemical energy conversion and storage device. Here we review new directions for CE in dye solar cells. In particular, stability of the CE is a key point often neglected.
