摘要
The carrier transport kinetics of the TiO2 film doped with N (TiO2:N) were investigated by measuring the current and open circuit potential transients under light on/off illumination. These measurements were compared to an undoped film. The N in TiO2 not only shifted the light absorption into a longer wavelength region (known effect) but also enhanced the carrier transport. The combination of these two effects improved the photogeneration of the electron-hole pairs and suppressed their recombination, resulting in much better photoelectrochemical performance, compared to that of the undoped TiO2.
