Abstract

Three-dimensional nanostructures of TiO₂ related materials including nanotubes, electron acceptor materials in hybrid polymer solar cells, and working electrodes of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were visualized by electron tomography as well as TEM micrographs. The regions on the wall of TiO₂ nanotubes where the streptavidins were attached were elucidated by electron tomogram analysis. The coverage of TiO₂ nanotubes by streptavidin was also investigated. The TiO₂ nanostructures in hybrid polymer solar cells made by sol-gel and atomic layer deposition (ALD) methods and the morphologies of pores between TiO₂ particles in DSSCs were also observed by reconstructed three-dimensional images made by electron tomography.
