In this study, three different morphology of titanium dioxide materials, titania nanotubes (Tnt), nanoparticles (H200) were prepared by hydrothermal and Titanium dioxide nanofulid (SF) was prepared by Submerged Arc Nanoparticles Synthesis System (SANSS), were utilized for microstructure design of TiO2 electrode to fabricate high-efficiency DSSC. Tnt from commercial TiO2 powders (Degussa P25) by alkaline hydrothermal method, was applied to fabricate the DSSC photoanode. It was found that the Tnt-based DSSC exhibited a conversion efficiency of 2.84% under A.M 1.5 simulated light irradiation (100mW/cm2). When Tnt was calcined at 450℃, 500℃and 550℃ found that the conversion efficiency of 5.77% at 550℃ was the best among the tested samples. The Tnt was mixed with nanoparticles (P25) with various ratio obtained the photoanode, the conversion efficiency of 5.57%. Finally, were utilized for microstructure design of TiO2 electrode to fabricate high-efficiency DSSC. The results show that the H200, Tnt-C550 and SF to fabricate multilayer TiO2 composites photoanode, the conversion efficiency of H200/Tnt-C550/SF-based DSSC was enhanced to 7.07%.
