Mesoporous TiO2 microbead films have been investigated as working electrode for solid state dye sensitized solar cells and 3.5% efficiency was achieved. Low trap density of microbead film leads to high voltage and fast electron transport.

1D, hierarchical, hetero-nanotube photoanodes (Au@SnO2@TNSs), were prepared with a large surface area, excellent electron transport, and improved light scattering. The resulting solid-state DSSCs had enhanced efficiency up to 8.4% at 100 mW cm−2.
