We report enhanced photocurrent properties of dye/Auloaded titanium dioxide (TiO2) films on Au gratings. Au-loaded TiO2nanopowders were first synthesized by a modified sol-gel method and then prepared by the impregnation method. We also fabricated dye-sensitized solar cells, which were composed of A...
