Abstract

In this paper, using aniline, lauryl alcohol and nonanoic acid as the structural controlling reagents, hierarchical mesoporous TiO2 microspheres composed of connected nanoparticles are synthesized via a coupled sol-gel and solvothermal process. The dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with the mesoporous TiO2 microspheres as photoanodes demonstrate light to electricity conversion efficiency ranges from 3.9 to 6.5 %, dramatically higher than that made of P25 (3.26 %).
