Effect of PEG on the TiO2 electrode morphology for scattering enhanced properties of the modified paste containing TiO2 sol-gel mixed with Degussa P-25 were investigated. The high surface area of the scattering centres in this study were formed by using nano size particles ascribed from TiO2 sol-gel while the sub-micron size particles were utilized from the reaction of PEG on the Degussa P-25 particles. The pore size distributions were tailored by varying the PEG content in the fabricated electrodes. Higher surface area with adequate pore size of P30 electrode has contributed to higher JSC and efficiency (η) of 11.35450 mA/cm2 and 2.479624 %, respectively. Photocurrent action spectra of IPCE of the DSSC exhibit the maximum of 42 % at 550 nm correspond to the P30 TiO2 electrode. Overall results suggest that the incorporation of TiO2 sol-gel component mixed with TiO2 paste derived from commercially available nanopowder could enhance surface area as well as serves for better light scattering effect, while PEG addition creates adequate pore size distribution to maximize the dye adsorbed on the TiO2 electrode.

AbstractMesostructured transition metal (Ti, Zr, V, Al and Ce-Zr) oxide-based hybrid thin films, templated by poly(ethylene oxide)-based surfactants or block copolymers, have been prepared reproducibly, displaying 2D-hexagonal (p6m) or 2D-centred rectangular (c2m) structure. By carefully adjusting the variables involved it is possible to combine both high organisation and excellent optical quality. TiO2 and ZrO2-based materials show thermal stability up to 400-550°C. The elimination of the template can be conducted efficiently and gives rise to high surface area mesoporous films. For the other metal oxide hybrids the inorganic framework is much more fragile, and requires a precise sequence of post-treatments to be stabilised. In addition, original and homogeneous macrotextures shaped with coral-like, helical or macroporous sieves morphologies have been obtained following a nanotectonic approach based on the template-directed assembly by poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG) of organically functionalised CeO2 crystalline nanoparticles.

Recent years mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) have become important biomaterials because of their high surface area and the superior bioactivity. Various studies have reported that when MBGs implanted in a human body, hydroxyl apatite layers, constituting the main inorganic components of human bones, will form on the MBG surfaces to increase the bioactivity. Therefore, MBGs have been widely applied in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery. The sol-gel process has replaced the conventional glasses process for MBG synthesis because of the advantages of low contamination, chemical flexibility and lower calcination temperature. In the sol-gel process, several types of surfactants were mixed with MBG precursor solutions to generate micelle structures. Afterwards, these micelles decompose to form porous structures after calcination. Although calcination is significant for contamination, crystalline and surface area in MBG, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, only few systematic studies related to calcination were reported. This study correlated the calcination parameters and the microstructure of MBGs. Microstructure evaluation was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The experimental results show that the surface area and the pore size of MBGs decreased with the increasing of the calcination temperature, and decreased dramatically at 800°C due to the formation of crystalline phases.
