Hierarchical macroporous Zn(2)SnO(4) consisting of nanoparticles has been synthesized for the first time through an in situ hydrothermal and a following annealing process in the presence of a polystyrene (PS) template. Zn(2)SnO(4) macropore sizes are tuned in the range of 180-650 nm by selecting the appropriate size of PS spheres, and the building unit size of the Zn(2)SnO(4)macropore is 4.2 nm regardless of the PS sizes. The photovoltaic performances of the dye-sensitized solar cell based on…
