摘要

Nanosized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) particles are used in diverse products and devices, includingphotocatalytic water splitting and solar cells whose successful commercialization is still facing scientific and technologicalchallenges.Particularly, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have recently attracted a lot of attention. The number of papers andpatents published in this area has grown exponentially over the last ten years. However, at the present, commercialdevices are of small sizes and produced in limited quantities, thus addressing niche markets. Research efforts have largelyfocused on the optimization of the dye, but the TiO2 nanocrystalline electrode itself also needs to be optimized. It has beenshown that particle size and shape, crystallinity, surface morphology and chemistry of the TiO2 material are keyparameters to be controlled for enhanced performance of the cell. This article gives an overview of the state-of-the-art onnano-TiO2 for applications in photocatalytic water splitting and, more specifically, in DSSCs. After a brief analysis of thecommercial perspectives of DSSCs and of the remaining challenges for their successful commercialization, our approachto the control of the nano-TiO2 surface chemistry for improvement of the DSSC performance is briefly introduced.
