Mesoporous TiO2 films with spherical architectures and promising performance in dye-sensitized solar cells
(DSSCs) were prepared. The morphology of the films was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Transmission
electron microscopy analysis of the spheres disclosed the elongated shape of sub-20 nm primary particles,
while BET analysis revealed their high surface area of 135m2/g. Anatase presence was observed in
the films based on X-ray diffractometry, selected-area electron diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy
analyses. Increased light scattering of the spheres in visible region was observed by UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy.
Photovoltaic performance of the operating N719-sensitized cells was tested using electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy and current density-voltage (J-V) curves under simulated AM1.5 spectrum. The 0.25 cm2 cells exhibited
photo-to-electric power efficiency of 4.9%, which is among noteworthy values for DSSCs with similar
photoanodic structures
