Nanostructured titanium dioxide films have great potential for application in photovoltaics, such as the inorganic counterpart in hybrid solar cells. For this purpose, the film morphology has crucial influence on the device performance, since a high surface-to-volume ratio is needed for efficient charge separation. So far, inorganic mesoporous matrices are successfully achieved by sol-gel chemistry in combination with block copolymer directed templating. As a novel approach, we use environmentally friendly biopolymers as tailoring agents. The whey protein ß-Lactoglobulin was found to form different structures within denaturation, from fibrils to spheres. By combining heat denaturation at different pH and sol-gel chemistry, different nanosized structures are introduced into titanium dioxide. The resulting sol-gels are used as inks for film deposition via spray coating. After calcination to remove the biopolymer template, the film morphologies of the remaining titanium dioxide scaffolds are investigated by grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). GISAXS measurements are supplemented by scanning electron microscopy.
