Controlled Assembly of Nanorod TiO₂ Crystals via a Sintering Process: Photoanode Properties in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Table 1

Photovoltaic performance of DSSCs using water-based TiO₂ nanofluids. Two-step method was used to manufacture the semiconductor on FTO substrate. Step one, the substrate was coated at 1500 rpm for 30 sec. Step two, the substrate was dried at 1000 rpm for 60 sec.
