By using different carboxylic acids as solvents, the morphology of the integral TiO2 crystals as well as inner pores can be tuned. Further application as the photoanode of DSCs resulted in an overall energy conversion efficiency of 7.55% due to their low electrical resistivity and improved light harvesting abilities.
