On page 5354, H. G. Zhao, F. Rosei, A. Vomiero, and co‐workers, demonstrate the application of “giant” core/shell quantum dots as light harvesters in high‐performance luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) with over 1.15% power conversion efficiency. Metal doping approach can tune the absorption spectra of QDs to better match the solar spectrum, and represents a significant advance for the development of high‐efficiency LSCs for cost‐effective photovoltaic applications.
