Charge transport in a solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cell is investigated. Unexpectedly, hole transport in the organic component (Spiro‐MeOTAD) is faster than the electron transport in the inorganic component (TiO 2 ). The electron mobility or diffusion coefficient through TiO 2 does not increase with increasing illumination intensity, as would be predicted by the multitrapping model for electron transport. The results highlight that poor electron transport in TiO 2 is a key issue for further improvements in device performance.
