The synthesis and characterization of an organic dye, P4 , together with its performance in p‐type dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is presented. A solar‐cell device based on P4 and an electrolyte that contains the I − /I 3 − couple in acetonitrile yielded an IPCE value of 44% on a transparent NiO film only 1–1.4 μm thick, the highest value obtained so far.
