Abstract
In this paper, firstly, titanate nanotubes was synthesized by hydrothermal method with
commercial antase-type TiO2 powder as the raw material. TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) can be obtained by
heat-treating the as-prepared titanate nanotubes at 400 °C. Secondly, an electrode with 30 % TNTs
and 70% nanocrystalline TiO2 was designed and prepared successfully. By using the nano-electrode
as the photoanode of DSC, the light-to-energy conversion efficiency of 5.42 % was obtained. In
addition, the effect of hydrothermal temperature on the crystal growth of nanotubes and the effect of
tert-butyl pyridine (TBP) on the photoelectric performance of the DSC were also discussed.
