Size-Dependent Multi-Electron Donation in Metal-Complex Quantum Dots Hybrid Catalyst for Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction
The effective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical fuels relies significantly on the donation of multiple electrons. Its efficiency is closely linked to both the density and lifetime of excited charge carriers. In this study, a hybrid catalyst system comprising covalently bonded InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and Re-complexes is showcased. The electronic band alignment between the
