Here comes the sun : By using a combined strategy of molecular engineering and cosensitization, impressively high J sc and V oc values were achieved for porphyrin dyes, resulting in high photovoltaic efficiencies up to 11.5 %, a record for non‐ruthenium dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with the I − /I 3 − electrolyte. The results provide insight into furthering the development of efficient DSSCs through synergistically enhanced photovoltage and photocurrent.
