The cascade co‐sensitization concept is demonstrated by the sensitization of TiO 2 electrodes with CdS quantum dots (QDs) covalently linked to zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPcs) via a sulfur atom. As discussed by I. Mora‐Seró and Á. Sastre‐Santos on page 3220, the efficiency of co‐sensitized CdS QD‐SZnPc cells, using Co(phen) 3 ] 3+ /[Co(phen) 3 ] 2+ as electrolyte is 212% higher than that of a solar cell sensitized just with CdS QD.
