Abstract

TiO₂ nanotube arrays were fabricated by anodization of titanium foils in the viscous nonaqueous electrolytes. Effects of anodization parameters on TiO₂ nanotube were intensively studied. The photo-electrochemical property of dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on TiO₂ nanotube arrays was tested and the influence of TiO₂ nanotube morphology on the performance of DSSC was investigated. The result indicates that the growth of TiO₂ nanotube arrays with high aspect ratio depends highly on the nonaqueous solution which is enhanced by the applied potential and anodizing time. TiO₂ nanotube arrays with aspect ratio up to 313.6 are fabricated in 0.5wt%NH₄F in glycerol glycol at 50 V for 17 h. DSSC based on TiO₂ nanotube arrays (fabricated in 0.5wt%NH₄F in glycerol at 40 V for 13 h) exhibits an open circuit potential of 0.723 V, 2.15 mA/cm² short circuit current density.
