    Abstract: The invention relates to a titanium oxide-based polymer composition. The inventive composition comprises a TiOx(OH)y(H2O)z(x+y+z=3) titanium oxide-based polymer in the form of a gel or sol. Said polymer, which has a one-dimensional (1D) structure, is made from concentrically-wound fibers having a periodicity which is deduced from the spacing between said fibers, of between 3.5 ? and 4 ?. Each fiber comprises TiO6octahedrons and each TiO6octahedron shares two opposite edges with two adjacent octahedrons (2×2.92 ?) in order to form infinite chains which develop along the axis of a fiber. According to the invention, two adjacent chains form double lines as a result of the shared edges (2×3.27 ?). The inventive polymer is suitable for use as a photosensitive element in a photovoltaic cell, such as a sunscreen for a window.
