Sunny side up : 1,6‐Dithiophenol‐substituted perylene organic sensitizer 1 was synthesized, and its photovoltaic properties in dye‐sensitized solar cells were assessed. When anchored onto TiO 2 film, the dye exhibits an unprecedented incident monochromatic photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency of 87 % and yields a power conversion efficiency of 6.8 % under standard AM 1.5 solar conditions.
