TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by the molten salt method as a dual functional material for dye-sensitized solar cells

We report the simple and versatile molten salt fabrication of mesoporous anatase TiO(2) nanoparticles with a high surface area of similar to 200m(2) g(-1), which show an impressive efficiency of similar to 7.5% in dye-sensitized solar cells. © 2012, Royal Society of Chemistry.
