CdSe Nanocrystal/C60-liquid composite material with enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

Abstract

The unique optoelectronic properties of a nanocomposite material comprised of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a photoconductive liquid C60 have been investigated. CdSe NCs are shown to sensitize the composite material to visible light, resulting in charge transfer from optically excited CdSe NCs to the solvent-free liquid C60 phase.
