A multidimensional ZnO photoanode consisting of a 2D‐nanosheet tuned 3D‐aggregate film and a 0D‐nanocrystallite compact layer is developed and found to simultaneously possess large surface area, effective electron transport, and strong light‐scattering capability. This leads to a remarkable efficiency of 7.35%, which is among the world records for ZnO dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs).
