Abstract High‐surface‐area (118 m 2 g −1 ) microflower‐like TiO 2 (MF‐TiO 2 ), consisting of TiO 2 nanopetals, is synthesized for the photoanode of a quasi‐solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cell (QSSDSSC). The QSSDSSC with the MF‐TiO 2 film scattering layer (SL) shows an efficiency ( η ) of 5.30 %, whereas its counterpart with a commercial SL shows an η of 3.90 %.
