Study on Transient Spectrum Based on Charge Transfer of Semiconductor Quantum Dots (2011.14972v2)

Abstract: With the increasing energy crisis and the prevalent concept of green sustainability, quantum dot materials have become a hot spot in the academic and industrial fields of chemistry. Due to unique, tailor-made photovoltaic properties based on marked quantum-confined effects, it's necessary to identify the QD-based charge transfer process connected with a lifetime of stimulated excitons. Additionally, inorganic nanoparticles with a continuum of electron states contribute to the consistency between electron dynamics and their function through complexation with QDs. Ultrafast spectroscopy can be widely used in this system, the most typical of which is the time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy, especially on a femtosecond or picosecond timescale. In this paper, we used the ZnSe/CdS core-shell quantum dot as the donor, and the TiO2 film as the metal oxide molecule as the acceptor, through steady-state and transient absorption techniques. Within, the electron transfer and related processes between the two composite systems were explored, and the relationship between the electron transfer rate constant (kBET) and particle size and QD core size was further studied. Through the research content of this paper, it is hoped to provide materials for quantum dot sensitization devices with more controllable features.
