Abstract

Abstract : In article number1706291, Renaud Demadrille, Peter Reiss, and co‐workers report the synthesis of threedimensional mesoporous inverse opal TiO2 nanostructures and their efficient transfer into the photoelectrodes of dye‐sensitized solar cells. The non‐destructive integration of these nanostructures leads, after sensitization with a new purely organic dye, to solar cells showing improved performances. The modified photoelectrodes exhibit an efficiency of 10.35%.
