TiO₂ nanorod arrays (NRA) and branched TiO₂ nanorod arrays (B-NRA) were prepared on conducting glass (FTO) by one-step hydrothermal method and two-step hydrothermal method, respectively. Sb₂S₃ nanoparticles (NPs) are deposited on TiO₂ NRA and TiO₂ B-NRA substrates by low temperature chemical bath deposition (CBD). Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2, 5-diyl) and 2, 2', 7, 7'-tetrakis-(N, N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9, 9'-spirobifluorene (P3HT and Spiro-OMeTAD) are spin-coated on the TiO₂/Sb₂S₃ composite membrane successively to form TiO₂(NRA)/Sb₂S₃/P3HT/Spiro-OMeTAD films and TiO₂(B-NRA)/Sb₂S₃/P3HT/Spiro-OMeTAD films as photoactive layers of hybrid solar cells. The results show that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the hybrid solar cell assembled with TiO₂(B-NRA)/Sb₂S₃/P3HT/Spiro-OMeTAD composite membrane structure is 2.92%, and the PCE of the hybrid solar cell assembled with TiO₂(B-NRA)/Sb₂S₃/P3HT/Spiro-OMeTAD composite membrane structure is improved to 4.67%.
