摘要
A highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) was fabricated using a nanocrystalline nitrogen-doped titania electrode. The properties of the nitrogen-doped titania powder, film, and solar cell were investigated. The substitution of oxygen sites with nitrogen atoms in the titania structure was confirmed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The UV-vis spectrum of the nitrogen-doped powder and film showed a visible light absorption in the wavelength range from 400 to 535 nm. An enhancement of the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) in the range of 380-520 nm and 550-750 nm was observed. An 8% overall conversion efficiency has been achieved. The results of the stability test indicated that the solar cell fabricated by the nitrogen-doped titania exhibited great stability.
