  • A TiO(2) shell was coated onto the polymer template.
  • The polymer template was removed to yield holographically defined TiO(2) (h-TiO(2)) electrodes.

    • Main Results:

    • The h-TiO(2) electrodes exhibited a unique bicontinuous air network structure.
    • This structure resulted in a larger specific surface area compared to electrodes made from colloidal crystals.
    • The h-TiO(2) electrode demonstrated a 30% increase in photogenerated electron current in DSSCs.

    Conclusions:

    • Holographically defined TiO(2) electrodes offer superior performance in dye-sensitized solar cells.
    • The enhanced performance is attributed to the increased specific surface area and unique porous architecture.
    • This fabrication method presents a promising pathway for developing next-generation solar cell electrodes.
