This work describes the solvothermal synthesis of hierarchically interdigitated TiO<sub>2</sub> nanorod photoanodes with customized nanotopology, which are fabricated to maximize the movement of electrons and the ability to collect photons. The interdigitated architecture promotes directional charge transport, minimizes recombination losses, and significantly expands the active surface area for dye adsorption. XRD confirms the formation of nanorods with optimal crystallite size (∼36.7 nm), reduced lattice strain, and favorable oxygen vacancy concentrations. SEM analysis revealed vertically aligned nanorods with uniform dispersion and optimal inter-rod spacing, facilitating efficient electrolyte penetration. TEM characterization further confirmed high aspect ratio (≈10:1), defect-free lattice fringes, and single-crystalline nature of the nanorods. XPS deconvolution indicated the presence of Ti<sup>3+</sup> species and controlled oxygen vacancies, contributing to improved electronic conductivity and dye anchoring. Upon integration into DSSC devices, the solvothermally derived TiO<sub>2</sub> photoanodes yielded a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.90%, representing a 20.6% enhancement over standard cells. The improvement is attributed to enhanced short-circuit current density (20.37 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>), minimized series resistance (67.8 Ω), and optimized interfacial charge transfer resistance (147.2 Ω). These findings establish a direct structure–property–performance relationship, demonstrating that morphology-guided, defect-engineered TiO<sub>2</sub> architectures enable synergistic improvements in both photophysical and electrochemical behavior, providing a scalable platform for developing next-generation DSSCs with superior performance and stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":432,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Sciences","volume":"175 ","pages":"Article 108249"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146186306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brute-force simulations, though popular, are limited to conditions of high metastability, where the critical cluster and the nucleation barrier are small. The seeding method has recently emerged as a powerful alternative for exploring lower supersaturation regimes by initiating simulations with a pre-formed nucleus. In confined systems (NVT ensemble), the seeded simulations are particularly effective for determining stable cluster properties and provide a stringent test case for classical nucleation theory (CNT). In this work, we perform NVT seeded simulations of Lennard-Jones condensation in small systems and compare them with CNT predictions based on several thermodynamic models, including equations of state, perturbation theory, and ideal gas approximation. We find that CNT accurately predicts stable cluster radii across a wide range of conditions. Notably, even the very simple ideal gas approximation proves useful for initializing seeded simulations. Furthermore, seeded simulation results correspond to the critical cluster radii of infinite systems: CNT predictions with good equations of state show very good agreement with simulations, while the perturbation theory and the ideal gas approximation perform well at low temperatures but deviate significantly at high temperatures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":432,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Sciences","volume":"175 ","pages":"Article 108254"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146186362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tri-layer electrode delivers η<sub>50</sub> = 150 mV and η<sub>100</sub> = 203 mV with a 55 mV·dec<sup>−1</sup> Tafel slope, surpassing a GO-free NiFe-LDH/Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub> control. Impedance analysis shows the smallest semicircle (lowest <em>R</em><sub>ct</sub>), while non-faradaic CVs yield the largest <em>C</em><sub>dl</sub>/ECSA, correlating the performance gains with multi-interface charge wiring and enhanced active-site accessibility. During CP operation at 50 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> for 300 h, the electrode maintains 100.38% of its initial operating potential with an ultralow potential drift of −0.0195 mV h<sup>−1</sup>. Crucially, the electrode also exhibits robust durability at a higher current density of 100 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> for 100 h, confirming stable catalytic operation beyond the initial oxidation regime. Collectively, the results outline a generalizable strategy to wire NiFe-LDH nanophases to 3D scaffolds through a conductive sulfide backbone and an atomically thin carbon interlayer, advancing electrode-level design principles for fast and durable alkaline OER.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":432,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Sciences","volume":"175 ","pages":"Article 108260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146186302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
