The working electrode of DSSCs is usually prepared from colloidal dispersions of TiO2 nanoparticles.1 Several studies have been carried out towards reproducible synthesis routes of TiO2 films.2,3 In this work, the sol-gel route was combined with hydrothermal treatments for the synthesis of anatase dispersions used for the preparation of nanostructured films.
