A remarkable approach to the production of large mesoporous anatase single crystals was reported recently by Snaith et al. These crystals display two properties—high surface area and high electron mobility—that fundamentally affect the performance of any TiO 2 ‐based photoelectrochemical device, such as Grätzel‐type dye‐sensitized solar cells.
