The TiO2 nanowire-based perovskite solar cells is simulated using a 2D model.
The optical and electrical responses are coupled in calculation.
The electron concentration of TiO2 nanowires has a marked impact on the performance of cells.
An optimum thickness of 600 nm for the TiO2 nanowires array is obtained.
The collection of carriers through TiO2 nanowire is less than 5%.
