The growth of these novel TiO<sub>2</sub>nanostructures on ITO is attained stoichiometrically by using <em>ammonium hexafluoro titanate, Hexamethylenetetramine, and Boric acid as precursor, capping agent, and reducing agent, respectively</em>. Optical absorption intensity and thickness of these nanostructure layers can be varied by the growth time. A highly porous, 2.25 µm thickest layer has been successfully synthesised on ITO, and the average diameter of these nanostructures was found approximately 70±2.5nm. These highly porous nanostructures are expected to be good candidate for photocatlysis applications and efficient photovoltaic performances of dye sensitised solar cells.</span></p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={KnE Engineering}, author={Shah, Athar Ali}, year={2016}, month={Sep.} }
