Abstract: The stirring hydrothermal method was performed to synthesis the ultra-long bending TiO2 NWs, and the influence of stirring hydrothermal process on the morphology and structure of the nanowires were explored. On this basis, the high aspect ratio TiO2 NWs/TiO2 NP composite photoanodes were constructed. The dependence of the DSSC photoelectric properties on the content of TiO2 NWs was studied. The results indicated that, when the hydrothermal stirring rate was 800 r·min-1 and the reaction time was 24 h, the TiO2 NWs possessed significantly high length-diameter ratio was obtained. Due to the excellent electron transport properties and light scattering effect of TiO2 NWs, the performance of DSSC was greatly improved. When the content of TiO2 NWs was increased from 0% to 20%, the transport resistance of the cell reduced from 5.98 Ω·cm2 to 3.79 Ω·cm2 and the electron diffusion length increased correspondingly (from 22.66 μm to 45.98 μm),the efficiency of DSSC increased to 5.26%, an increase of 22.9%. As the content of nanowires continues to increase, the low dye loading leads to a reduction in current and conversion efficiency.
