Abstract

The principal aim of this study is to prepare the one-dimensional nanostructured TiO₂ by a simple hydrothermal method with high quality (high crystallinity, surface area, thermal stability, photocatalytic activity, and dye-sensitized solar cell). One-dimensional nanostructured TiO₂ was synthesized by hydrothermal method at 80-150 oC for 12-72 h. The samples were then characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, and BET surface area. The results clearly showed that the prepared nanostructured TiO₂ was the promising candidate to serve as the materials in dye-sensitized solar cells and H₂ production from water reaction applications.
