Illustrious pair: A tandem solar cell employs a front sub‐cell with a ZrO 2 ‐doped nanostructured TiO 2 and an organic dye to harvest 400–750 nm sunlight and a back sub‐cell with another organic dye and a normal TiO 2 electrode to capture 500–800 nm sunlight. A high V OC and J SC are achieved in the visible region of the solar spectrum, and at the same time to near‐IR light is harvested.
