Be2+ and Mg2+ ions were adsorbed on a TiO2 surface, and the resulting photoelectrodes were applied in dye-sensitized solar cells. Be2+ modification led to an increase in electron collection, electron injection, and dye regeneration efficiency, thereby increasing the short-circuit current. It was also found that the enhancements in both open-circuit voltage and fill factor of the device with Be2+-modified TiO2 were due to the reduced charge recombination between the photoinjected electrons and I3 -. Be2+ modification resulted in an approximately 14% improvement in power conversion efficiency, whereas charge recombination was barely reduced in the case of Mg2+ modification.
