Abstract:
Nb-doped TiO(2) nanotube (with C(Nb) < 1 wt%) layers were successfully fabricated by self-ordered electrochemical anodization of Ti-Nb alloys. When used in dye-sensitized solar cells the efficiency enhanced by up to 30% compared to non-doped TiO(2) nanotubes. IMVS measurements indicate the beneficial effect to be due to lower recombination losses.
