Abstract

Electron lifetime in mesoporous nanostructured rutile TiO₂ photoanodes, synthesized via a simple, cost-effective, low temperature (50–55 °C) wet chemical process, annealed at 350 °C for 1 h and not employing any sprayed TiO₂ compact layer, was successfully tailored with 0.2 mM TiCl₄ surface treatment that resulted in light to electric power conversion efficiency up to 4.4%.
