On page 4663 , Christopher E. Patrick and Feliciano Giustino investigate the interface between TiO 2 and Sb 2 S 3 found in semiconductor‐sensitized solar cells by means of first principle calculations. An atomistic model of the TiO 2 and Sb 2 S 3 interface is proposed and the interfacial energy‐level alignment and ideal open‐circuit voltage are determined. The analysis of other isostructural sensitizers indicates that anti‐monselite (Sb 2 Se 3 ) holds potential for delivering higher energy conversion efficiencies than the TiO 2 /Sb 2 S 3 system.
