A solution‐processed, bottom‐up nanowire network electrode is developed and employed in a bulk heterojunction colloidal quantum dot solar cell. The electrode features a ZnO template which is converted into locally connected, infiltratable TiO 2 nanowires. The new electrode allows the application of a thicker light absorbing film without compromising the charge extraction, as reported by Edward H. Sargent, Ghassan Jabbour, and co‐workers on page 1769 . The frontispiece shows schematically the electrode shape and the resultant device architecture.
