Synthesis of Titania Nanotubes with Different Diameters for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

TiO2 nanotubes with different diameters were synthesized by anodic oxidation in fluoride-contained organic solution. It was found out that the diameters of nanotubes became larger with the rise of used times of Ti plate. The TiO2 nanotubes were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). It turned out that the generation efficiencies of DSCs versus the increase of diameter of nanotubes presented a curve with maximal value. The highest generation efficiency was 3.60%.
