A ZIF-ZnSe-NC composite derived from ZIF-7 was synthesized and used as the electrocatalyst for the counter electrode (CE) in dye-sensitized solar cells, which performed better than that using a Pt CE.

Hierarchical, flexible, and platinum-free TiO1.1Se0.9/carbon cloth counter electrode efficiently rendered its dye-sensitized solar cell 9.47% and 10.32% efficiencies in iodide-based and cobalt-based electrolytes, respectively.

Li–Al layered double hydroxides of high surface areas were prepared by intercalating a mixture of arylate and acetate ions, and their hydrogen adsorption capabilities were explored for the first time.

The best carbon aerogel CE gives an η of 9.08% at 100 mW cm−2 and 20.1% at 2.18 mW cm−2.
