A periodically aligned Pt nanocup array is employed as a counter electrode in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The Pt nanocup array enhances the catalytic area, which results in a greater fill factor (FF) and higher short‐circuit current ( J sc ). A higher density of nanocups is preferable for the performance of DSSCs.
