In article number 1706291 , Renaud Demadrille, Peter Reiss, and co‐workers report the synthesis of threedimensional mesoporous inverse opal TiO 2 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%.
