Switching to solids : Solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cells are achieving efficiencies similar to those of their counterparts with liquid electrolytes. The new p‐type semiconductor CsSnI 3 was found to be an excellent replacement for the traditional I − /I 3 − redox system. The picture shows a cross section of a dye‐sensitized solar cell based on CsSnI 3.
