ABSTRACT
Hierarchical anatase TiO(2) nano-architecture arrays consisting of long TiO(2) nanowire trunk and numerous short TiO(2) nanorod branches on transparent conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide glass are successfully synthesized for the first time through a facile one-step hydrothermal route without any surfactant and template. Dye-sensitized solar cells based on the hierarchical anatase TiO(2) nano-architecture array photoelectrode of 18 µm in length shows a power conversion efficiency of 7.34% because of its higher specific surface area for adsorbing more dye molecules and superior light scattering capacity for boosting the light-harvesting efficiency. The present photovoltaic performance is the highest value for the reported TiO(2) nanowires array photoelectrode.
