A method for improving the performance of dyesensitized solar cells is discussed by Dong Ha Kim and co‐workers on page 1030. This facile protocol uses TiO 2 nanoparticles, which are derived from the calcination of a low‐cost, ecofriendly, and readily available carbohydrate species, decorated with thin carbon coatings.
