Hydrothermal growth of high crystallinity Nb3O7(OH) single crystal nanorod film onto FTO substrate is directly used as the photoanode for DSSCs without calcination. The resultant possess an impressive overall efficiency 6.77%, highest among all reported assembled by niobium oxide-based photoanodes.
