Time Resolved Photoluminescence

We studied the photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence from self-assembled bilayers of donor and acceptor nanoparticles (NPs) adsorbed on a quartz substrate through organic linkers. Charge and energy transfer processes within the assemblies were investigated as a function of the length of the dithiolated linker (DT) between the donors and acceptors. We found an unusual linker-length-dependency in the emission of the donors. This dependency may be explained by charge and energy transfer processes in the vertical direction (from the donors to the acceptors) that depend strongly on charge transfer processes occurring in the horizontal plane (within the monolayer of the acceptor), namely, parallel to the substrate.

Electron Withdrawing Substituents

The influence of electron-withdrawing substituents on the photoelectrochemical properties of phthalocyanines is shown in a comparison between hexadecafluorophthalocyaninatozinc(II) ( F 16 PcZn ) and the unsubstituted phthalocyaninatozinc(II) ( PcZn ). The role of surface states in the photoelectrochemistry of both materials has been investigated by time-resolved photocurrent measurements in the millisecond range. The charging and discharging of surface states could clearly be seen as spikes at the beginning and the end of illumination. Surface states were filled with photogenerated electrons at PcZn and with photogenerated holes at F 16 PcZn . In the steady state under illumination only cathodic photocurrents were detected at PcZn , while at F 16 PcZn both cathodic and anodic photocurrents were observed. An adsorption step of electroactive species prior to the charge transfer was derived from the dependence of the steady state photocurrents on the electrolyte concentration for both materials. The concentration dependence of the charging and discharging currents, however, showed that charge transfer from surface states to the electrolyte occurs at PcZn , while at F 16 PcZn the surface states only represent recombination centres.

Charge Transfer Dynamics

Abstract Water-splitting reactions using photocatalyst particles are promising routes for solar fuel production1-4. Photoinduced charge transfer from a photocatalyst to catalytic surface sites is key in ensuring photocatalytic efficiency5; however, it is challenging to understand this process, which spans a wide spatiotemporal range from nanometers to micrometers and from femtoseconds to seconds6-8. Although the steady-state charge distribution on single photocatalyst particles has been mapped using microscopic techniques9-11 and the averaged charge transfer dynamics in photocatalyst aggregations have been revealed via time-resolved spectroscopy12,13, spatiotemporally evolving charge transfer processes in single photocatalyst particles cannot be tracked, and the mechanism of charge transfer is unknown. Here, we report spatiotemporally resolved surface photovoltage measurements on Cu2O photocatalyst particles to map complete charge transfer processes throughout the femtosecond to second time scale at the single-particle level. We found that photogenerated electrons are transferred to the catalytic surface ballistically on a sub-picosecond timescale and are retained at this location for the duration, whereas photogenerated holes are transferred to a spatially separated surface and stabilized via selective trapping on a microsecond timescale. We demonstrate that these ballistic electron transfer and anisotropic trapping regimes, which challenge the classical perception of the drift–diffusion model, contribute to efficient charge separation in photocatalysis and improve the photocatalytic performance. We anticipate our findings to demonstrate the universality of other photoelectronic devices and facilitate the rational design of photocatalysts.

Morphology and photophysics of polymers are critical to the performance of organic optoelectronics. In this work, poly(3-thiophene) (P3HT) nanoparticles were successfully fabricated by the miniemulsion and reprecipitation methods. The P3HT nanoparticles demonstrated uniform distribution with the domain size of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]40 nm. The photophysics of P3HT nanoparticles was investigated by absorption and steady-state and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. P3HT nanoparticles showed more ordered and longer conjugation length than pristine P3HT. At the same time, P3HT nanoparticles showed aggregate species which are favorable for interchain charge transfer. The organic/inorganic hybrid photodetectors based on P3HT and TiO2 nanorods were fabricated. The superior performance of the photodetector based on P3HT nanoparticle and TiO2 nanorods comes from the efficient charge transfer and large donor/acceptor interface.
