In this investigation, we report fabrication of TiO₂-based DSC photoelectrode using a modified electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique along with different postdeposition treatments. The performance of the device has sequentially improved by optimizing the number of deposition layers (for EPD), applying a modified EPD technique, and using different postdeposition treatments.
