Multilayer thin film assemblies have gained increasing interest because they allow for not only the integration of different materials, but they also combine their individual properties. In this context, the layer‐by‐layer (LbL) technique represents a versatile approach for the fabrication of multicomponent, layered films on solid supports. The integration of catechol functionalized, positively charged ZnO nanorods and anionic porphyrins into LbL assemblies is presented, as well as their incorporation into proof‐of‐concept solar cells. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Hirsch et al. on page 7896.
