TiO₂ nanomaterial with typital anatase was prepared by hydrothermal method. Asurface modification method was carried out by over layer coating on the surface of TiO₂ thin film using Cr(NO₃)₃. The surface phase and morphology of electrodes were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that a layer of chromium oxide with larger particles was coated on TiO₂ thin film and the electrode remains homogeneous porous structure. The current-voltage (I-V) curves revealed that short circuit current and photoelectric transfer efficiency of the optimal modified electrode enhanced by 31.1% and 40.4% respectively more than before. Interface characteristics of cells were discussed using EIS. Seen from the results, the resistance of TiO₂/dye/electrolyte interface of modified electrode was much larger than before at the same bias. It is indicated that chromium oxide coating on TiO₂ thin film suppressed the charge recombination reactions and improved the performance of DSSCs.
