In this talk, we present a new strategy to fabricate macroporous structures for various energy divices. Macroporous structure provides interconnected paths, which could be electron transport paths in energy divices. Also its large cavities play an important role as scattering voids or spacious room for viscous medium. If it has a periodic and long-range ordered structure, it can modulates a light propagation by a photonic band gap properties. For example, macroporous photoelectrodes having a periodic structured TiO2 film were fabricated using 2D or 3D polystyrene(PS) microspheres array template. This macroporous structure provides the large surface area leading to the enough adsorption of dye molecules and has a light harvesting effect. Other studies using these macroporous structures will be introduced showing promising potentials for future applications of transparent conductive films, thermoelectric devices and so on as well as solar cells. |
