Always wear a coat: On a plastic substrate graphene is coated with a conducting polymer (PEDOT), resulting in a flexible composite film. The film is used as counter electrode in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) instead of platinum/transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). The performance of the TCO‐ and platinum‐free counter electrode rivals that of convenential DSSCs.
