표 1 합성된 티타늄산화물 나노와이어 및 나노브런치 특성Table 1 Synthesized Titanium Oxide Nanowires and Nano Brunch Characteristics
표 1에서 나타낸 바와 같이 3차원 나노브런치가 1차원 나노와이어보다 공극율도 2배이상 높게 형성하였으며, 비표면적도 3배이상 나타냈다. 이것을 이용하여 염료감응형 태양전지용 광전극에 사용시 염료 흡착량과 광전극에 도포된 두께당 거칠기 인자를 확인한 결과 2배정도 차이가 나타났다.As shown in Table 1, the three-dimensional nanobrunch formed two times higher porosity than the one-dimensional nanowire, and the specific surface area was also three times or more. When using the dye-sensitized solar cell photoelectrode, the amount of dye adsorption and the roughness factor per thickness applied to the photoelectrode were confirmed.

The results are shown in FIG. 5 and Table 2.
표 2 합성된 나노와이어 및 나노브런치의 염료감응형 태양전지 비교.Table 2 Comparison of dye-sensitized solar cells of synthesized nanowires and nanobrunches.
도 5와 표 2에서 나타낸 바와 같이 3차원 나노브런치가 1차원 나노와이어보다 광전류밀도가 2배정도 높게 나타냈다. 또한, 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율도 2배정도 차이가 났다. 이는, 염료의 흡착량이 3차원 나노브런치가 1차원 나노와이어 비해 높아서 나타낸 결과로 예상된다. 또한 전압값은 3차원 나노브런치가 가지들이 축에 붙어 있어서 불안정한 것에 비해 1차원 나노와이어와 비슷하게 나타났다.As shown in FIG. 5 and Table 2, the three-dimensional nano brunch showed two times higher photocurrent density than the one-dimensional nanowire. In addition, the efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell also differed by about twice. This is expected to be the result of the adsorption amount of the dye is shown as the three-dimensional nano brunch is higher than the one-dimensional nanowire. In addition, the voltage value is similar to that of the one-dimensional nanowires compared to the unstable three-dimensional nano-branch branches attached to the axis.
3차원 나노브런치와 1차원 나노와이어를 비교한 결과 3차원 나노브런치가 비표면적 및 광전류밀도가 높게 나타나 염료감응형 태양전지에 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.As a result of comparing 3D nanobrunch and 1D nanowire, the specific surface area and photocurrent density of 3D nanobrunch are high, which shows the possibility of using them in dye-sensitized solar cells.
