We examine the effects of CdS shell growth on photochemical reduction of colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and describe the spectroscopic properties of the resulting n-type CdSe/CdS QDs. CdS shell growth greatly slows electron trapping. Because of this imp ...
Single-nanocrystal and ensemble photoluminescence measurements on CuInS2 semiconductor nanocrystals reveal luminescence bandshapes that are broad compared to those typical of individual II–VI or related semiconductor nanocrystals. This finding is consisten ...
We report spectroelectrochemical and transient absorption spectroscopic studies of electron injection from the plant pigment betanin (Bt) to nanocrystalline TiO2. Spectroelectrochemical experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used ...
The trapping dynamics of conduction-band electrons in colloidal degenerately doped n-CdSe nanocrystals prepared by photochemical reduction (photodoping) were measured by direct optical methods. The nanocrystals show spontaneous electron trapping with distr ...
The plant pigment betanin is investigated as a dye-sensitizer on TiO2 with regard to its potential to undergo two- electron oxidation following one-photon excitation. Electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical and transient absorption measurements provide evi ...
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals display remarkably bright, strongly size-dependent photoluminescence properties. Following photoexcitation of these materials, temporary charge carrier separation can occur where one or both charge carriers are trapped. ...
Copper-doped semiconductors are classic phosphor materials that have been used in a variety of applications for many decades. Colloidal copper-doped semiconductor nanocrystals have recently attracted a great deal of interest because they combine the soluti ...
The photoluminescence decay dynamics of colloidal CdSe, Cu+:CdSe, and CuInS2 nanocrystals have been examined as a function of temperature and magnetic field. All three materials show photoluminescence decay on time scales significantly longer than the intr ...
The plant pigment betanin is investigated as a dye-sensitizer on TiO2 with regard to its potential to undergo two-electron oxidation following one-photon excitation. Electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical and transient absorption measurements provide evid ...
Electron injection from a photoexcited molecular sensitizer into a wide-bandgap semiconductor is the primary step toward charge separation in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). According to the current understanding of DSSCs functioning mechanism, charges ...
