Abstract

âº Demonstration of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells based on N-doped TiO2. âº Photocurrent increases using the doped electrode compared to pure TiO2. âº The direct charge generation by the doped metal oxide is discussed. âº The influence of N is revealed by numerical simulations based on cluster approach. âº EPR reveals the presence of substitutional N, as well as surface related N.
