Highly reflective TiO 2 inverse opal films are presented by Hyunjung Lee, Wonmok Lee, and co‐workers on page 3094 . A binary composite film of polystyrene/TiO 2 is directly fabricated on a fluorine‐doped tin oxide glass substrate, which shows a highly ordered opalline structure of PS embedded into the TiO 2 matrix. The TiO 2 inverse opal film was tested as a dye‐sensitized solar cell photoelectrode and showed a relatively high photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency.
