Facile one-pot synthesis of self-assembled quantum-rod TiO2 spheres with enhanced charge transport properties for dye-sensitized solar cells and solar water-splitting
Facile one-pot synthesis of self-assembled quantum-rod TiO2 superstructure. Dissolved cations/anions play crucial roles in controlling nanostructures. Na+ ions are effective in controlling the surface charge and self-assembly. Improved charge transport/light capturing properties for photoelectrochemical devices.
