Article Description

Nanoparticle chains of anatase TiO composed of ∼5 nm nanoparticles with a high surface area (309 m g) are prepared by slow hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide modified with glacial acetic acid at a temperature of 50 °C. These nanoparticle chains without hydrothermal treatment can be used directly to fabricate photoanodes for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), which achieve a power conversion efficiency of 9.80% at simulated AM1.5 G illumination (100 mW cm). The approach presented in this study demonstrates a facile synthesis of anatase TiO chains for use in DSSCs, which avoid hazards arising from a hydrothermal process that is typically adopted to prepare crystalline TiO nanoparticles for use as the photoanode in DSSCs.
