Nanoporous TiO 2 spheres have emerged recently as a new class of TiO 2 nanomaterials
for photochemical applications. Compared with conventional TiO 2 nanoparticles, the …

Hydrous TiO 2 colloidal spheres (HTCS) derived from the direct precipitation of titanium
alkoxides have attracted continuous interests since 1982. Entering the 21st century, rapid …

Understanding fundamental crystal nucleation and growth mechanisms is critical for
producing materials with controlled size and morphological features and uncovering …

Nanocrystallite aggregates are spherical assemblies of nanometer‐sized crystallites and
feature a size on the order of sub‐micrometers. This paper reports and summarizes recent …

Novel monodispersed spherical TiO 2 aggregate with a diameter of 100 nm (SP100), which
is the smallest TiO 2 spheres (or beads) reported thus far, has been prepared by a controlled …

In this work, a new strategy to design low‐temperature (≤ 200° C) sintered dye‐sensitized
solar cells (lt‐DSSC) is reported to enhance charge collection efficiencies (ηcoll) …

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), as a type of promising energy conversion device, have
received much attention in the past two decades due to their high efficiency and low cost. In …

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have been widely used for micro/ultrafiltration.
However, their hydrophobicity leads to serious membrane fouling over time during the …

A new bilayer-structured photoelectrode film with spherical TiO2 nanorod aggregates as a
light-scattering overlayer and nanocrystalline TiO2 as an underlayer is fabricated and …

We fabricated a highly efficient (with a solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency (η) of 5.51%),
plastic-based, flexible dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The photoanode was made of a …
