We prepared rutile TiO₂ powders of od crystallinity by hydrolyzing a Ti(OC4H9)4 precursor at room temperature and by reprecipitation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that higher acidity, lower temperature, and specific amounts of Cl^- as a medium result in rutile TiO₂. This rutile TiO₂ has an irregular rice-like structure. After adding the P105 (EO₃₇PO₅₆EO₃₇) tri-block copolymer as a structural agent, the rutile TiO₂ aggregated to form rough 350 nm spheres. These rough spheres have a greatly enhanced light harvesting efficiency and improved energy conversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells. This is due to their high light scattering effect and larger surface area (109.5 m²·g^-1). By adding these large rutile spheres at a mass fraction of 25% to the over-layer of a TiO₂ film composed of ~20 nm TiO₂ particles as light scattering centers, the energy conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) was 7.27%. This is a 17% increase in conversation efficiency compared with the DSSC based on a TiO₂ photoanode without these rough rutile spheres.
