According to recent research published in the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, "The authors present the first reported use of vertically oriented titanium oxide nanotube/titanium oxide nanoparticle nanocomposites to improve the efficiency of TiO2 based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)."
"Titanium oxide nanotubes incorporating titanium oxide nanoparticles were prepared to harvest more solar light, and their solar-to-electric conversion efficiency was characterized. The incorporation of the titanium oxide nanoparticles increased the visible light absorption of the titanium oxide nanotube based DSSC system because of the increased light absorption ...
