The waxberry-like mixed-phase TiO₂ hollow microstructures (WMTHMs) are controllably prepared via a topotactic synthetic method, involving the synthesis of monodispersed CaTiO₃ precursors by a solvothermal method and subsequently transforming them into TiO₂ through a Na₂EDTA-assisted ion-exchange process. The ratio of anatase-rutile is adjustable, and the two phases are connected well with each other. WMTHMs are composed of radially aligned nanorods, speeding up the electron transport. The optimum WMTHMs sample shows a specific surface area of 68.05 m²/g and exhibits an excellent light scattering capacity. The cell based on WMTHMs light scattering layer obtained an optimal efficiency of 9.12%. The improvement of cell efficiency is mainly attributed to the high specific surface area, the efficient light scattering, the appropriate ratio of anatase-rutile, the staggered bandgap structure, and the convenient one-dimensional electron transport channel.
