Spherical multihollow (MH) TiO2 nanostructures have been synthesized via a microemulsion-based approach with titanium glycerolate complexes formation at glycerol microemulsions interface. The self-aggregation of those microemulsions induces the formation of MH TiO2 nanospheres. Owing to this hierarchical hollow structure, photoanode films derived from MH TiO2 nanosphere as light scattering layer exhibits an enhanced light harvesting efficiency, thus leading to a 43% increment of photovoltaic performance compared to that from P25 nanoparticle film.
