A novel tri‐layer film photoelectrode structure of DSSC by introducing Eu 3+ and Er 3+ ions into TiO 2 film was proposed. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSSC with Er 3+ : TiO 2 / Eu 3+ : TiO 2 / TiO 2 tri‐layer electrode reaches 7.41%, increased by a factor of 1.44 compared to that of the DSSC without Eu 3+ and Er 3+ doping. The higher efficiency for DSSC with the tri‐layer electrode is mainly attributed to the down‐conversion luminescence effect by Eu 3+ ions from ultraviolet light to visible light and up‐conversion luminescence effect by Er 3+ ions from infrared light to visible light.
