Abstract

The present article reviews the current status of using TiO2 nanotubes in Gratzel-type, dye-sensitized solar cells and extends the overview with the latest results and findings. Critical factors in tube geometry (length, diameter, top morphology), crystal structure (amorphous, anatase, rutile) as well as factors affecting dye loading or electron mobility are addressed. The highest solar cell efficiencies today for pure nanotube systems reach approximately 4% while for some mixed systems, around 7% has been reported. For both Systems significant room for enhancement is anticipated and some key points and strategies for improvement are outlined.
