Titanium dioxide nanotubes and nanorods were synthesized via template sol-gel and electrophoretic deposition method. The transformation into rutile or anatase from as-synthesized gelation derived from different compositions was discussed. The formation of rutile phase obtained by stirring at 40~50℃ in the water bath was strongely related to the pH values. The structures, particle sizes of nanotubes and rutile/anatase core-shell titanium dioxide nanorods were characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were prepared by microwave hydrothermal method, which were subsequently used in photoelectrode for dye-ssnsitizes solar cells (DSSCs). The photoelectrodes with three different structures were designed and constructed. Coating of titanium dioxide nanoparticles suspension with/without poly(ethylene glycol) as a binder, titanium dioxide nanotubes on the films, and titanium dioxide nanotubes in the films were compared. The solar energy conversion efficiency of nanotubes on film shows improved performance.
