Hydrothermal Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Titanium Dioxide for Use as a Photoanode of DSSCs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline TiO₂ powder was synthesized using microwave-assisted hydrothermal treatment of titanium oxysulfate in the presence of NH₄F. X-ray powder diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy were used to determine phase composition and particle size of obtained titanium dioxide. The studies using methods of TEM and EDX spectroscopy have shown that synthesized TiO₂ powder is a promising functional material for fabrication of photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
