Rational Design of Covalent Multiheme Cytochrome‐Carbon Dot Biohybrids for Photoinduced Electron Transfer

Quantum dot-bridge-fullerene heterodimers with controlled photoinduced electron transfer.

Molecular electronics has been growing rapidly, to a point where the ambition is to miniaturize conventional electronic devices down to the single-molecule scale. One of the essential components of the future molecular circuits is miniaturized power sources. A few reports have addressed this key issue by using a single nanowire as a low-power source for nanoelectronics, such as a piezoelectric ...

Nonequilibrium photoinduced electron transfer

Dynamics of Bimolecular Photoinduced Electron-Transfer Reactions

From the accumulated results of several research groups over the last 25 years, it is clear that photoinduced electron-transfer reactions have significantly broadened the scope of organic photochemistry.1 The fundamental mechanistic principle is that when quenching of an excited state via electron transfer is sufficiently exothermic, the reaction occurs at or close to the diffusion-controlled l...

Effect of organic passivation on photoinduced electron transfer across the quantum dot/TiO2 interface.

We report a study of the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of CdSe quantum-dot (QD)-sensitized solar cells prepared by direct adsorption of pre-synthesized QDs, passivated with either tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) or n-butylamine (BA), onto a nanocrystalline TiO(2) film.

Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Ionic Media

Title of Document: PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER IN IONIC MEDIA Rebecca Cristine Vieira, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Daniel E. Falvey, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry The goal of this research was to explore the use of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and ionic liquids crystals (ILCs) as reaction media for photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes.
