Popis: The carrier transport kinetics of the TiO2 film doped with N (TiO2:N) were investigated by measuring the current and open circuit potential transients under light on/off illumination. These measurements were compared to an undoped film. The N in TiO2 not only shifted the light absorption into a longer wavelength region (known effect) but also enhanced the carrier transport. The combination of these two effects improved the photogeneration of the electron–hole pairs and suppressed their recombination, resulting in much better photoelectrochemical performance, compared to that of the undoped TiO2.
