Abstract

Hierarchical TiO₂ nanotube arrays grown on Ti foil are yielded by subjecting electrochemically anodized, vertically oriented TiO₂ nanotube arrays to hydrothermal processing. The resulting DSSCs exhibit a significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency of 7.24%, which is a direct consequence of the synergy of higher dye loading, superior light-scattering ability, and fast electron transport.
