Abstract
Doped TiO
2 semiconductor thin films were synthesized using N and Nd as photovoltaic property enhancing impurities by
micro plasma oxidation method. The influence of the doping ions on cr y stal structure and mi crostructure of the TiO 2 films
were investigated by X ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Impedance analysis for dye-sensitized solar cells were carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the perform ance of N doped
TiO 2 electrode is better than that of N Nd co doped TiO 2 electrode in terms of open circuit voltage ( V oc), short circuit current
density ( J sc), and power conversion efficiency. It seems that these phenomena were related to the surface area, crystalline structures and charge transfer kinetics modifications induced by ion dopants..
