Doped TiO(2) semiconductor powders were synthesized using Al and W as photovoltaic property-enhancing impurities. Al-doped TiO(2) electrodes increased open-circuit voltage (V(oc)), but reduced short-circuit current (I(sc)). In contrast, W-doped TiO(2) had an opposite effect. However, dye-sensitized solar cell efficiency fabricated with doped TiO(2) was remarkably better than that of undoped TiO(2). It seems that these phenomena were related to electrical surface-state modifications induced by metal-ion dopants. These modifications led to significant changes in powder aggregation, charge transfer kinetics, and dye adsorption characteristics. The highest efficiency was found by using (Al+W)-doped TiO(2) nanopowders.
使用铝(Al)和钨(W)作为增强光伏性能的杂质合成了掺杂二氧化钛(TiO₂)半导体粉末。铝掺杂的TiO₂电极增加了开路电压(V(oc)),但降低了短路电流(I(sc))。相比之下,钨掺杂的TiO₂则有相反的效果。然而,用掺杂TiO₂制造的染料敏化太阳能电池效率明显优于未掺杂的TiO₂。这些现象似乎与金属离子掺杂剂引起的表面电态变化有关。这些变化导致粉末聚集、电荷转移动力学和染料吸附特性发生显著变化。使用(Al+W)掺杂的TiO₂纳米粉末时效率最高。
