Porous aluminium doped TiO2 was prepared through a sol–gel process in the presence of a template. The doping enlarges the band-gap of the anatase TiO2, which modifies the TiO2 electrical properties. The porous Al/TiO2 films were assembled into dye-sensitized solar cells. A 45 mV enhancement of open-circuit photovoltage and 11% increase of fill factor at 2 wt-% doping concentration, and 8.6% improvement of the overall efficiency at 0.5 wt-% doping concentration were achieved relative to that of a cell containing non-doped TiO2 under the same conditions. This advance is attributed to the increase in conductivity with the Al-doping of the TiO2 electrode.

The development of new redox couples provides a clear strategy to improve power conversion efficiency (PCE) in p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (p-DSSCs) through enabling improvements in open-circuit voltage (VOC).

Al doped SnO2microspheres were prepared through hydrothermal method. As-prepared SnO2microspheres were applied as photoanode materials in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The properties of the assembled DSCs were significantly improved, especially the open-circuit voltage. The reason for the enhancement was explored through the investigation of dark current curves and electrochemistry impedance spectra. These results showed that the Al doping significantly increased the reaction resistance of recombination reactions and restrained the dark current. The efficient lifetime of photoexcited electrons was also obviously lengthened.
