Cd-doped TiO2 nanorods arrays were successfully synthesized via a facile one-step route.
Study show introduction of Cd doping changed the band gap of TiO2 from 3.05 eV to 3.03 eV.
Cd doping make TiO2 flat band potential negative shift of ∼30 mV and increase Voc.
EIS spectra show Cd-doped TiO2 nanorod increased the electron recombination resistance.
Cd-doped TiO2 perovskite device show 30% increase in conversion efficiency.
