Carbon nanotubes are tested as integrative components in multifunctional hybrid photovoltaic cells and reveal their significant promise for applications as photochemical energy‐conversion systems. As shown in the figure, they possess monochromatic power‐conversion efficiencies of up to 10.7 % for single carbon nanotube/pyrene + /ZnP 8– stacks.
