An optimized two-step anodization is developed to fabricate ultralong, small-diameter TiO2 nanotubes, that is, with tube length of up to 31 μm and pore diameter of about 35 nm in this work. This overcomes the length limitation of small diameter tubes that usually presents in conventional one-step anodization. The small tubes with lengths of 23 μm yield a conversion efficiency of 5.02% in dye-sensitized solar cells under nonoptimized conditions.
本文开发了一种优化的两步阳极氧化法来制备超长、小直径的TiO2纳米管,即本工作中管长可达31μm,孔径约为35nm。这克服了传统一步阳极氧化法中通常存在的小直径管的长度限制。在未优化的条件下,长度为23μm的小管在染料敏化太阳能电池中的转换效率为5.02%。
