A novel bunchy TiO2 hierarchical microspheres composite nanostructure with strings of anatase TiO2 hierarchical micro-spheres and rutile nanobelts framework (HSN) was synthesized via an one-pot hydrothermal process. This new structure presents great specific surface area, large pore size distribution, homogeneous three-dimensional (3D) structure, high crystallinity and excellent light scattering performance simultaneously. The bi-layer photoanode film was successfully prepared which TiO2 P25 as absorption layer and HSN as an efficient scattering layer on the top of TiO2 P25 film in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The bi-layer DSSC taken on a great progress in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) achieved 8.08%. However, the PCE of single and double layer TiO2 film DSSCs just showed 6.72% and 3.67% respectively. Such improvement was mainly because of the efficient scattering centers (HSN) which can bring the enhanced dye loading, fast charge transfer and excellent light harvesting efficiency.

TiO2 films with three-dimensional web-like structure have been prepared by the photo polymerization-induced phase separation method (PIPS). Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the as-prepared TiO2 films. The results showed that the film texture could be tuned by changing the composition of the precursor solution. The TiO2 film with web-like structure exhibited high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The as-prepared films were used as the photo-anodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSCs was significantly enhanced by changing the POGTA/TTB in the precursor solution. Because of the increased dye adsorption active sites and efficient electron transport in the TiO2 anode film, a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 3.015% was obtained.
