Type: article

Abstract: -points, which could improve our understanding of these ultrafast processes. Finally, in the context of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on ZnO NW arrays, we provide a method to calculate the photoresponse obtaining similar results to experiments. This work paves the way towards the fast and accurate theoretical design of 1D optoelectronic nanodevices.
