10、at 450 oC is not characterized. XRD of these calcined materials should be provided to understand the crystallinity and phase.Response: Thanks for the referee' s kind suggestion. According to his/heradvices, X-ray diffractometry spectroscopy (XRD) of the calcined TiO2 film was given in Supporting

11、 Information (Figure S1) in this revised version. It illustrated that the hydrothermal synthesized TiO2 materials after calcining at 450 oC is entire anatase, which was confirmed by the X-ray diffractometer with Cu K radiation (Rigaku D/ max-2500).Comment 2: The authors must state the mechanical str

12、ength of these materials after the removal of PS by calcinations.Response: Thanks for the referee' s suggestion. By a scotch tape peel test,the TiO2 film can ' t be stripped from the conducting glass substrate, which indicates that the mechanical strength of as-prepared composite film is str

13、ong enough for the fabrication of solar cell devices. The revised details can be found in Line 165-168, page 2.Referee B Comment 1: The microtube structure with the size of 500-800 nm cannot only scatter the visible light in the region of 500-800 nm, but also can scatter more efficiently the visible

14、 light in the region below 500 nm, and can scatter near infrared light. This point should be clarified in the main text.Response: Thanks for the referee' s kind advice. Just like what the refereesaid, the microtube network structure can scatter not only visible light but also near infrared light

15、. We added this point in revised manuscript and the detailed revision can be found in Line 194-205, Page 2-3.Comment 2: They described the simulated sunlight as "one-simulatingsunlight condition (AM1.5, 100 mW cm-2)". But in my opinion, it would be better to use the phrase like "AM 1.

16、5 simulated solar light (100 mW cm-2)". Response: Thanks for the referee' s suggestion. "one-simulating-sunlightcondition (AM1.5, 100 mW cm-2)" has been changed to "AM 1.5 simulated solar light (100 mW cm-2)" in our revised manuscript. (Line 217, Page 3) Comment 3: They

17、correctly pointed out that the increased ratio of solar energy conversion efficiency by the microtube-network structure was smaller than that estimated from the absorption spectra. It is understandable, considering that a TiO2 porous film was filled with solvent in a device, while that for spectrosc

18、opic measurements is filled with air. Response: Thanks for the referee' s good evaluation and kind suggestion.The referee ' s explanation is very correct. Light absorptions of TiO2photoelectrodes are different when they are filled with electrolytes and air, respectively. It is ascribed to that a part of solar light will be absorbed by the electrolytes and also different medium in the porous film will induce the di
