We demonstrate here to synthesize a hierarchical TiO2 architecture without any surfactants or templates. Two kinds of structure existed simultaneously, the ordered nanoarrays at bottom provided direct conduction pathways for photogenerated electrons while the upper micro-flowers consisted of nanobelt building units increased the light harvesting ability as the scattering part. The formation mechanism of the hierarchical architecture has been proposed by studying the morphology evolution processes upon reaction time. The performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells based on the obtained anatase TiO2 has been also studied, giving a JSC=12.44 mA cm-2, VOC =0.64 V, FF =69.05%, and η=5.53%, which is superior than commerical TiO2 (P25). The UV-Vis results indicate that the obtained morphology is beneficial to light-scattering and thus increases the light harvesting ability. This hierarchical TiO2 structure offers great potential for the development of high-efficiency DSSCs. |
