Charge Carrier Separation in Solar Cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the necessary selectivity is achieved by differences in the conductivities of electrons and holes in two distinct regions of the device, which, for one charge carrier, allows transport to one contact and block transport to the other contact.
