A type of double layer(array-cluster)TiO₂ films were prepared with mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) by a hydrothermal method at specific reaction condition. It was found that the TiO₂ films on the substrate has a two-layer structure and has the tetragonal rutile phase observed from the field emission scaning electron microscopy (FESEM) and the X-ray diffraction (XRD). Moreover, the subjacent layer of the two-layer structure were TiO₂ rods array, while the supernatant layer was TiO₂ rods clusters, and microscopic structure of these rods all are made of smaller TiO₂ nanorods(25～65 nm). This two-layer structure of TiO₂ films can favors to acquiring more light and adsorbing more dye, and could provide a fast circulation channel for photon-generated electrons. The thickness of this type of TiO₂ films in supernatant layer can be varied by changing initial reactant concentration, growth time or substrate placed angles. And without any modification treatment, a light-to- electricity conversion effciency of DSSC with TiO₂ nanorod array-cluster films can enhance 2.6 time in comparison with only TiO₂ nanorod array films.
