An electron injection highway: CdSe nanorods with CdS seed material were applied to a quantum rod‐sensitized TiO 2 solar cell that showed a higher electron injection efficiency than analogous quantum dot‐sensitized solar cells: reducing the nanocrystals′ carrier confinement dimensions can improve electron injection efficiency of nanocrystal‐sensitized solar cells.
