Abstract

Low-dimensional semiconductors provide a rich tapestry of tunable optical and electrical properties for a wide variety of applications. Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) have shown tremendous potential in applications ranging from digital logic, biological imaging, quantum information processing, photovoltaics, and thermoelectric energy harvesting. Energy harvesting applications rely critically upon the creation of tailored interfaces that enable the movement of energetic species (excitons, electrons, holes) in specified directions. While organic energy harvesting devices often employ interfaces between distinct organic species such as polymers, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes, hybrid interfaces between organic and inorganic semiconductors have unique properties that are relatively unexplored. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts at constructing novel hybrid interfaces between s-SWCNTs and low-dimensional inorganic semiconductors. I will highlight time-resolved spectroscopy results that illustrate exceptionally long-lived photoinduced charge separation across such interfaces. These studies provide insight into some of the remarkable properties of these interfaces that can enable efficient solar energy harvesting and conversion to fuels.
