Abstract
As a promising solar cell type, a three-dimensional (3D) DSSC was fabricated based on the traditional DSSC structure using TiO2 nanotube array (Ti-NTA) photoanode prepared in a titanium wire spiral coil as an alternative material. The effects of preparation process parameters (electrolyte composition, oxidation voltage, oxidation duration, etc.) on the structure of Ti-NTA were investigated, and also the morphological and crystal structure analysis of the materials were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-rays diffraction spectrum (XRD). Finally, a 3D DSSC was fabricated using Ti-NTAs as photoanode with optimal process parameter and performance of the DSSC was tested.
