Abstract
Nanosized anatase TiO2 nanosheets with highly exposed (001) facets (ca. 80%) were prepared via hydrothermal reaction with the addition of hydrofluoric acid and characterized by various techniques like TEM, XRD, XPS and BET. High-quality TiO2 nanosheets films with various thicknesses (ca. 5-20μm) were successfully fabricated by doctor blading and the effect of film thickness on the performance of DSSCs was investigated by I-V characterization and dark current potential scan. The results show each parameter of DSSCs performance depends strongly on the thickness of the TiO2 nanosheets films. An optimised DSSCs performance of 8.39% was obtained by the TiO2 nanosheets film with a thickness of ca. 15μm.
