Single-crystalline TiO₂ nanowires (SCTNWs) were prepared using a hydrothermal growth method. The (010) crystal face of the titania particles was eroded by NaOH solution to produce Na₂Ti₄O₉ at high temperature and pressure. H₂Ti₄O₉·H₂O was generated after washing with distilled water and HCl, which was then linked to a wire by hydrogen bonding. Finally, sintering gave SCTNWs. The SCTNWs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The influence of hydrothermal growth time was investigated. A flexible photoanode was fabricated on Ti foil using a highly stable and uniform titania colloid including the SCTNWs. The photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) containing different contents of SCTNWs was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, and photovoltaic tests. Under optimized conditions with 7.5% (w) SCTNW, a flexible DSSC with a lightto- electrical energy conversion efficiency of 6.48% was achieved under irradiation with simulated solar light with an intensity of 100 mW·cm^-2.
