Plasmonic back reflectors , which consist of 2D arrays of silver nanodomes, are incorporated into solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cells (ss‐DSCs) by nanoimprint lithography. They enhance absorption through excitation of plasmonic modes and increased light scattering. SS‐DSCs with plasmonic back reflectors show increased external quantum efficiency, particularly in the long wavelength region of the dye’s absorption band.
