One dimensional (1D) Na2Ti6OIi nanorods with 70 nm in diameter was synthesized by a molten salt method. Using the synthesized nanorods, about 750 nm thick Na2TisO,3 film was coated on Fluorine-doped till oxide (FTO) glasss substrate by the Layer-by-layer self-assembly(LBL-SA) method in which a repetitive self-assembling of ions containing an opposite electric charge in an aqueous solution was utilized. Using the Kubelka-Munk function, the band gap energy of the ID-Na2Ti6O13 nanorods was nalyzed to be 3.5eV. On the other hand, the band gap energy of the Na2Ti6O13 film coated on FTC) was found to be a reduced value of 2.9eV, resulting from the nano-scale and high porosity of the film processed by LBL-SA method, which was favorable for the photo absorption capability, A significant improvement of photocurrent and onset voltage was observed with the Na2Ti6O13 film incorporated into the conventional Fe203 photoelectrode: the photocurrent increased from 0.25 to 0.82 mA/cm2, the onset voltage decreased from 0.95 to 0.78 V.
