The porous TiO₂ film photoanodes were prepared based on TiO₂ hollow spheres as the main substrate and TiO₂ nanosheets as the scaffold in dye sensitized solar cell by doctor blade method. The results indicated that the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency reached 4.53% when the amount of TiO₂ nanosheets as scaffold was 20wt% in film, which was higher than that of nonporous TiO₂ film (4.06%) and that of no scaffold TiO₂ film (4.17%). Furthermore, the photoelectric conversion efficiency improved to 7.06% when the thickness of the porous TiO₂ film with 20wt% nanosheets was controlled 33 μm. The enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency can be attributed the cooperation effect of the effective electron transmission and the large adsorption amount of dye molecules in scaffold structure. This research designed scaffold structure provides a new idea for the preparation of porous TiO₂ film to enhance performance of dye sensitized solar cell.
