Solid‐state synthesis of ZnO nanostructured building blocks is presented in this work for the fabrication of high efficiency quasi‐solid dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The sponge‐like photoanode has high optical density and better connections. Baking the photoanode at low temperature, photoconversion efficiencies of up to 6.46% are yielded by the quasi‐solid DSSCs. Furthermore, we demonstrate better stability of our ZnO quasi‐solid DSSCs.
