        Samenvatting:
        Accelerated ageing tests on large numbers of dye sensitised solar cellsshow, that to first order a separation between the effects of the stresses
visible light soaking, UV-illumination and thermal treatment on long-term
stability can be made. The corresponding mechanisms are of electrochemical,
photochemical and pure chemical nature respectively. It was found that
visible light soaking alone is not a dominant stress factor. A dramatic
improvement in UV-stability has been reached by using MgI2
as additive to the electrolyte. Thermal stress appears to be one of
the most critical factors determining the long-term stability of nc-DSC
and is strongly related to the chemical composition of electrolyte solvents
and additives. Encouraging stability results are now obtained for cells
based on pure nitrile based solvents. (1) A minor decrease of performance
of initially 5% solar efficient cells has been found after 2000 h at
60 deg C storage i
