“…This indicated that introducing Mn dopant into CdS film did not make a favourable effect on performance of the DSSC. Our conversion efficiency values were higher than the values in the literature [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Moreover, present efficiency values were consistent with the earlier results [16,[35][36][37].…”

In this study, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were designed utilizing Murexid dye as an absorbing material and manganese doped cadmium sulfide (CdS:Mn) thin films as transparent layers. The CdS:Mn thin films were synthesized on tin doped indium oxide coated glass substrates (ITO) at 90 ºC using chemical bath deposition method (CBD). The Mn-doping process was carried out at concentrations of 0%, 2%, 4% and 6% (in molar ratio of manganese ions to cadmium ions). The structural, morphological and optical properties of the CdS:Mn thin films were examined using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and UV–visible absorption spectrometer. The effect of the nanoparticle size on the cell performance of DSSC was investigated by J-V curves. The results regarding electrical measurements indicated that the maximum efficiency of 3.40%. Our experimental results suggested that this heterojunction can be a good candidate for DSSCs.

“…A review of the recent literature shows that metals (Co, Pt, Ag, Au, Pd, Ni, Cu, Eu, Fe, etc.) significantly increase the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The low location of the Fermi level of these metals compared to TiO 2 can lead to the movement of electrons from the TiO 2 structure to metal particles deposited on its surface.…”

Recent Developments of TiO2-Based Photocatalysis in the Hydrogen Evolution and Photodegradation: A Review

The growth of industrialization, which is forced to use non-renewable energy sources, leads to an increase in environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary not only to reduce the use of fossil fuels to meet energy needs but also to replace it with cleaner fuels. Production of hydrogen by splitting water is considered one of the most promising ways to use solar energy. TiO2 is an amphoteric oxide that occurs naturally in several modifications. This review summarizes recent advances of doped TiO2-based photocatalysts used in hydrogen production and the degradation of organic pollutants in water. An intense scientific and practical interest in these processes is aroused by the fact that they aim to solve global problems of energy conservation and ecology.

“…It also suggests that Zr gets doped into TiO 2 on the surface and inside the lattice. 72 Zr transition metal doping can improve photocatalytic performance at higher rates. The decrease in bandgap implies that it enhances the light absorption capacity of the electrode.…”
