Correction to: Structural and optical analysis of Ag nanoparticle-assisted and vertically aligned TiO2 nanowires for potential DSSCs application

In this work, vertically aligned TiO2 nanowires (TiO2-NWs) and Ag nanoparticle (Ag-NP)-assisted aligned TiO2 (TAT-NWs) were deposited on glass flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates using the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. The morphology structural analysis of samples manifest successful TiO2-NWs TAT-NWs. high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) image shows polycrystalline nature. Further, X-ray diffraction (XRD) result confirms nature both TiO2-NW TAT-NW samples. Besides, HR-TEM presence small crystal grains Ag-NPs at mid annealed It is evident from selected area (SAED) TAT-NWs that crystallinity present in improves after annealing. absorption spectrum substrate enhances peak visible region with a maximum at ~ 450 nm wavelength compared to TiO2-NWs, which may be attributed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect Ag-NPs. it interesting observe PET show further enhancement UV regions. addition, photoluminescence (PL) reveals band gap is ~ 3.12 eV. Therefore, proposed method fabricating ITO-coated GLAD technique applicable for developing novel photoanode dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) other optoelectronic applications.
