“…With such experimental conditions, different morphologies and crystal phases such as anatase, rutile and brookite can be obtained. As TiO2 nanoparticle-based suspension solution in alkaline condition are used as precursor for the hydrothermal reaction, suspended TiO2 nanoparticles are hydrothermally transformed into TiO2 NTs (Figure 5a) [26]. The formed TiO2 NTs can be selectively formed as anatase and rutile phases by using different precursor ratios, hydrothermal conditions, and salt incorporation [27,28].…”

This review presents one dimensional (1D) TiO 2 nanostructured photoanodes for next generation solar cells such as dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Due to the unique morphological properties, 1D TiO 2 nanostructures can act as express electron channels as well as light scattering layer, leading to improved charge transport properties, such as charge separation, electron injection, and electron lifetime, and light harvesting efficiency. As 1D TiO 2 nanostructures are applied to solar cells, 1D TiO 2 nanostructures should be further modified to overcome some drawbacks. In this review, we have described some solutions by introducing various 1D TiO 2 synthetic methods and device fabrication processes for solar cell applications, where we have described some important surface engineering and hierarchical device design strategies that facilitate charge transport and light utilisation in 1D TiO 2 nanostructured photoanode system.
