A route is reported for the synthesis of two electron‐accepting phthalocyanines featuring linkers with different lengths as sensitizers for p‐type dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Importantly, our devices based on novel nanorod‐like CuO photocathodes showed high efficiencies of up to 0.191 %: the highest value reported to date for CuO‐based DSSCs.
