Spatial Extent of Fluorescence Quenching in Mixed Semiconductor–Metal Nanoparticle Gel Networks (Adv. Funct. Mater. 41/2021). (7th October 2021) - Rosebrock, Marina
Abstract : Semiconductor Gel Networks In article number 2101628, Nadja C. Bigall and co‐workers demonstrate that a single gold nanoparticle is able to quench the fluorescence of up to 9 semiconductor nanorods in mixed, co‐gelated gel networks. Upon varying the particle number ratio of CdSe/CdS and Au nanocrystals, the spatial extent of quenching, thus, the travel distance of photoexcited electrons is changed within the interconnected semiconductor backbone.
