  Abstract

In this study, we designed and investigated textile-type flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using titanium mesh as the photoelectrode. To improve the surface area of the TiO2 photoelectrode and the performance of the DSSCs, titanium-oxide nanotubes (TNTs) were uniformly grown on the surface of the titanium mesh using anodization. The TNTs were tens of micrometers in length, which contributed to the absorption of sufficient light and effective transfer of electrons. We studied the effect of TNT growth on the DSSCs, and found that the power conversion efficiency of the DSSCs increased from 1.9% to 3.2% upon increasing the length of the TNTs on the surface of the titanium mesh.
