Abstract
Nanotubular structures have been established in the literature as advanced porous materials presenting high potential for practical applications and innovative devices. Due to their lengthwise growth, self-organized titania nanotubes belong to the family of 1D materials and continue to be at the forefront of the research activity. In this chapter a thorough analysis of the electrochemical preparation of self-organized titania nanotubes, as well as their application in dye-sensitized solar cells is presented.
