N2 - In this study, we have developed a novel multiscale simulator for a dye-sensitized TiO2 porous electrode. In the simulator, we can estimate the properties of the dye-sensitized TiO2 porous electrode using the three-dimensional mesoscopic structure model constructed on the basis of our original porous structure simulator. The microscopic physical properties of the materials were estimated by quantum chemistry calculation using a tight-binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics program. From the calculation results, we determined the absorption coefficient and the diffusion coefficient of excited carriers used in the macroscopic simulation for photoelectrode characteristics. By using this multiscale simulator, we will be able to determine the best electrode system efficiently.
