- This work clearly shows, through combined experimental and theoretical studies, that electron transfer from quantum dots differs from electron transfer originating either from molecules or bulk semiconductors. This led to a new Auger-assisted electron transfer model, which is applicable to many excitonic nanomaterials, including quantum dots, nanorods, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. This new finding will therefore have a major impact on our understanding of exciton dissociation in these materials, and on the design of solar energy harvesting devices based upon them. It led to invited talks at international conferences, including the e-MRS Spring Meeting 2015.
