Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed the theoretical and computational methods for chemical reactions at surfaces/interfaces. The methods are applied to photoinduced energy conversion reactions. For organic solar cells, we have found that to achieve high efficiency the packing of organic donor and acceptor molecular heterojunction should be optimized. Recombination processes of surface complexes with TiO2 are treated as internal conversion, we have successfully predicted the characteristics of electron transfer from the dyes to TiO2. The determination of the spatial behavior of photoinduced excitons provides a possible explanation of the observed enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO2 anatase nanostructure.
