    Amyloid-like peptide nanofiber templated titania nanostructures as dye sensitized solar cell anodic materials
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Acar, H.; Garifullin, R.; Aygun, L. E.; Okyay, Ali Kemal; Güler, Mustafa O.
    One-dimensional titania nanostructures can serve as a support for light absorbing molecules and result in an improvement in the short circuit current (Jsc) and open circuit voltage (Voc) as a nanostructured and high-surface-area material in dye-sensitized solar cells. Here, self-assembled amyloid-like peptide nanofibers were exploited as an organic template for the growth of one-dimensional titania nanostructures. Nanostructured titania layers were utilized as anodic materials in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The photovoltaic performance of the DSSC devices was assessed and an enhancement in the overall cell performance compared to unstructured titania was observed.
