Abstract
Mesoporous TiO 2 nanocrystals (denoted as TiO 2-MS) have been synthesised by a one-step amino acid assisted synthesis method using l-lysine as a catalyst. An ∼18% enhancement in dye-sensitized solar cells' (DSSCs) conversion efficiency was achieved using the TiO 2-MS as photoanodes compared to that of benchmark Degussa P25 TiO 2. The improved dye loading capacity and reduced charge recombination of TiO 2-MS are responsible for the enhanced performance.
