Transient Optical Studies of Interfacial Charge Transfer at Nanostructured Metal Oxide/PbS Quantum Dot/Organic Hole Conductor Heterojunctions

We report a transient absorption and luminescence study addressing the charge separation, recombination, and regeneration reactions at nanostructured metal oxide/PbS quantum dot/organic hole conductor
heterojunctions. We show that yields of charge separation are
significantly higher at PbS/SnO2 interfaces relative to PbS/TiO222. We also report a correlation between the PbS particle size and the yield of charge separation at PbS/SnO2
interfaces, with a smaller PbS particle radius resulting a higher yield
of charge separation. Finally we investigated the regeneration of the
photooxidized PbS by an organic hole transporting material, namely, spiro-OMeTAD. The overall spiro-OMeTAD+ yield is found to be 27% at a SnO2/PbS (3 nm diameter)/spiro-OMeTAD heterojunction. The addition of a lithium salt was found to raise the overall spiro-OMeTAD+ yield from its initial value of 27% (where no Li+
is present) to 50%. We believe this to be a result of an increase in
the primary charge injection yield to near unity as the SnO2 conduction band is lowered (with increasing [Li+]),
increasing the driving force for electron injection. The present
findings are discussed with relevance to the design of PbS-sensitized
metal oxide layers for DSSCs.

Welcome

Welcome! Nanopaprika was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry PhD student in 2007. The main idea was to create something more personal than the other nano networks already on the Internet. Community is open to everyone from post-doctorial researchers and professors to students everywhere.

There is only one important assumption: you have to be interested in nano!

Dr. András Paszternák, founder of Nanopaprika
