Hot-electron transfer in quantum-dot heterojunction films

Efficient use of high-energy, or “hot”, carriers could increase the efficiency of solar cells, provided efficient extraction of electrons at a specific energy. Here, the authors show the presence of hot-electron transfer between two quantum dot species, allowing facile optimization of the extraction...
