On page 1093 , Hyunjung Lee and co‐workers report a novel method to fabricate an inverse‐opal electrode for dye‐sensitized solar cells. Compact and ordered TiO 2 inverse‐opal photoelectrodes are prepared using a 3D colloidal array templating route with flexible dimensional control of pore size. Organic‐layer‐coated TiO 2 nanoparticles improved the degree of infiltration and consequently minimized the volume contraction during thermal calcinations of the colloidal template within the inverse opal structure.
