A graphdiyne nanosheet/Pt nanoparticle composite shows outstanding catalytic activity for the reaction of I 3 ‐ /I ‐ redox pairs as the counter electrode for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In article number 1500296, Ranbo Yu and co‐workers report that it is easier to form a chemical interaction between Pt and graphdiyne, leading to enhanced electron transfer ability. The graphdiyne‐based DSSC shows comparable efficiency to precious Pt foil and higher efficiency than reduced graphene oxide/Pt nanoparticle composite, Pt nanoparticle‐based DSSCs.
