TL;DR: In this article, the reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-hierarchical ZnO hollow sphere composites are prepared through a simple ultrasonic treatment of the solution containing graphene oxide, Zn(CH3COO)2, DMSO, and H2O.

TL;DR: In this paper, anatase TiO2 nanowire (HNW) arrays were synthesized on a Ti-foil substrate via a two-step hydrothermal growth process.

TL;DR: Dye-sensitized solar cells based on the hierarchical anatase TiO2 nano-architecture array photoelectrode of 18 μm in length shows a power conversion efficiency of 7.34% because of its higher specific surface area for adsorbing more dye molecules and superior light scattering capacity for boosting the light-harvesting efficiency.

TL;DR: Hierarchical anatase TiO2 spheres consisting of nanorods and nanoparticles are successfully prepared via a simple acid thermal method using titanium n-butoxide and acetic acid, which will overcome the kinetic and light-scattering limitations of nanoparticles and the surface area limitations of one-dimensional nanostructures, as photoelectrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of large-scale free-standing TiO2 nanotube arrays on transparent conductive glass was reported, which can be further transferred to the fluorine-doped tin oxide conductive (FTO) glass via a drop of TiO 2 sol containing Ti(OBu)4 and polyethylene glycol.
