Abstract

Nowadays much efforts have been done with the aim to increase the global efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cells so that the doping of the TiO₂ structure have been suggested as one of the most interesting solutions. In this paper the effect of the nitrogen incorporation in the TiO₂ structure and studies about the effect of the doped films on the general properties of the solar cells are conducted.
