Interfacial charge transfer dynamics in CdSe/dipole molecules coated quantum dotpolymer blends

Abstract

We report our results on the influence of the dipole moment of small molecules anchored to the surface of CdSe nanocrystals, over the interfacial charge recombination dynamics in CdSe/P3HT (P3HT : poly-3-hexylthiophene). The polarizability of the CdSe/P3HT interface is key to achieving efficient charge separation and slow back electron transfer, two of the most important processes to boost the photocurrent and voltage in CdSe/P3HT photovoltaic devices.
