Abstract

Titanium dioxide(TiO2) has long been the subject of much study in view of its role in various fields such as catalysis, solar energy and corrosion. TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by anodizing Ti foil (∼40V, ∼20°C, and ∼30h respectively). The length of nanotubes with 80 nm dia pores was varied from 1-10um in order to study the dye adsorption amount and photo-conversion efficiency. The fabricated dye sensitized solar cells show an improvement in efficiency with increasing tube length (10 um longer tubes resulted ∼5 times higher efficiency than 1 um long tubes).
