Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) shows a great interest in solar cell application due to its morphology and crystalline structure. Moreover, it is an affordable compound that could make solar cells more economical than traditional silicon solar cells. In this study, one-step hydrothermal method is demonstrated to synthesis TiO2 nanorods/nanoflowers morphology on different hydrothermal reaction temperature. Increasing the reaction temperature could influence the formation of highly crystalline rutile phase of titania thin film. Moreover, the growth mechanism under different reaction temperatures has pronounced effects on the preferred orientation, morphologies and sizes of the structure. The results serve as guidance principle in preparing high quality solar cell specifically in heterojunction thin film fabrications.
