Abstract:
Thin films of TiO
2 nanotube arrays for the preparation of dye sensitized solar cells were fabricated by anodic oxidation method in different electrolyte solution. The morphology of the film were observed by scanning electronic microscope(SEM),and to explain the formation mechanism of TiO
2 nanotubes arrays. The illumination open circuit potential were characterized by German IM6 ex electrochemical workstation. The I-V curve were characterized by Newport solar simulator,Keithley2400 AVO meter. The results show that TiO
2 nano tube diameter was d

2 nanotube arrays are divided into three stages: the formation stage of the barrier layer,the formation stage of the nanotubes and the stability of the nanotubes. The TiO
