Abstract

The Zn2+-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared with hydrothermal method. The photoelectrochemical properties of Zn2+-doped TiO2 nanoporous film electrode sensitized by Ru (bpy)2 · (NCS)2, and Zn2+-TiO2/CdS composite semiconductor nanoporous films sensitized by Ru (bpy)2(NCS)2 were studied respectively. Doping, sensitizing and forming composite semiconductor particles produced red-shifts on the photocurrent action spectra. The conversion efficiency of light to electricity for the Zn2+-TiO2/CdS composite semiconductor nanoporous films was greatly improved and reached maximum.
