Zinc oxide ( ZnO ) nanorods (ZNRs) and hierarchical ZnO nanosheet–spheres (ZNSs) were prepared through a simple aqueous chemical growth process and a low-temperature solid-phase method, respectively. The prepared ZNRs and ZNSs were mixed to obtain a composite structure by using a circumference oscillator. After structure and morphology characterizations via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, the mixture of ZNRs and ZNSs was used as a photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Photovoltaic performance and optimal mixture ratio were investigated. The results indicated that the photovoltaic properties of DSSCs depended on the microstructures, morphologies and mixture ratios of the electrodes. In addition, the mixture of ZNRs and ZNSs (molar ratio of 1:12) yielded an overall light conversion efficiency of 6.02%, with a fill factor of 65.0%, a short-circuit current of 13.49 mA/cm2, and an open-circuit voltage of 0.69 V. These values are higher than those of pure ZNRs or pure ZNSs.
