normally manufactured by a process involving a sintering
heat treatment of the Ti02 photoanode, to provide
mechanical and electrical contact between the
nanopanicles. This precludes the use of many low cost
substrates and alternative manufacturing approaches. This
paper describes a new approach to engineer the
nanostmcture such that the heat treatment step can be
eliminated whilst retaining acceptable device performance.
The principles of and processes used to facilitate this are
described and the device characteristics reported.
