摘要
In this study, titanate H2Ti3O7 nanotubes with a multiwall structure, synthesized by a hydrothermal process, were successfully used as an electrode material for dye-sensitized solar cells. The best efficiency, 7.5%, was achieved for an opened cell under illumination of simulated AM 1.5 solar light (100 mW cm(-2)). The relationship between the photovoltaic performance and physicochemical properties of titanate nanotube was also investigated. (C) 2006 The Electrochemical Society.
