Multifunctional compact layers of rare‐earth (RE)‐doped tin oxide (SnO 2 :(Yb 3+ , RE 3+ ) , RE = Eu, Dy, Er, etc.) demonstrate a reduced recombination rate of electron–hole pairs, an enhanced transparency, a broadened light absorption range, and an enhanced long‐term stability of the photovoltaic device.
