Abstract:
Semiconductor nanocrystals manifest fascinating size, composition and shape dependent optical and electronic properties. A first aspect aims at electron-hole recombination yielding emissive quantum rods, with relevance for a wide range of technological applications. In this context we will discuss various synthesis routes for shape controlled semiconductor nanorods and report the self-assembly strategy that leading to unprecedented structures. A second aspect aims at electron-hole charge separation and utilization for photo- electrochemical-catalytic redox reactions. This is realized in alloyed nanorods spontaneously formed by alkylthiol etching. The alloyed nanorods have highly active Zn sites on the (100) surface and reduced energy barrier for water oxidation, resulting in enhanced oxygen evolution reaction activity in water splitting and improved photoelectrochemical activities, and thus open a pathway for converting solar energy to chemical energy stored in a fuel using earth abundant and eco-friendly catalysts.
