A Review on Preparation Techniques of TiO2 Hollow Spheres and Their Applications in Dye-sensitized Solar Cell and Lithium Ion Battery

Semiconductor oxide materials with hollow spherical structures have attracted enormous attention due to their low density,large specific area,mechanical and thermal stability.As one of the important semiconductor oxide materials,TiO2 hollow spheres have excellent electrochemical properties.Owing to the excellent physical and chemical properties for potential application in multiple fields,design and synthesis of semiconductor TiO2 with tuna-ble size,shells and interior architecture have attracted great research interest.In this paper,the synthesis of TiO2 hol-low spheres in different methods,such as hard template,soft template and template-free methods are summarized. The progress of the applications of these materials in dye-sensitized solar cell and lithium ion battery are also dis-cussed.Finally,the future development of the controllable fabrication of TiO2 hollow spheres is looked forward.
