Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving PEC cells by enhancing their efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness. The key advantages include:
Increased Surface Area: Nanomaterials have a high surface area to volume ratio, providing more active sites for the photochemical reaction. Enhanced Light Absorption: Nanostructures can be engineered to absorb a broader spectrum of light, leading to higher energy conversion efficiencies. Improved Charge Separation: Nanoscale materials facilitate better charge separation and transport, reducing recombination losses.
