Surface States Control Ultrafast Electron Injection in Dye/Semiconductor Colloidal Systems

Robert Huber, Sebastian Spörlein, Jacques E. Moser, Michael Grätzel, Josef Wachtveitl

Abstract

Electron injection from photoexcited dye molecules into semiconductor colloidal particles (TiO2 and ZrO2) is investigated by femtosecond (fs) spectroscopy. Ultrafast reaction dynamics in the dye/ZrO2-system with an inaccessible conduction band demonstrates efficient electron transfer to surface defect states.
