Monte Carlo random walk simulation of electron transport in confined porous TiO₂ as a promising candidate for photo-electrode of nano-crystalline solar cells
In brief
Simulations showing that confining porous TiO₂ into columns, instead of a thick uniform layer, steers electron diffusion toward the electrode.
Key results- Continuous-time random walk simulation of electron transport in porous TiO₂.
- Structural confinement induces directional diffusion, a route to higher internal quantum efficiency.
