Quantum Dot-Induced Kinetic Bottleneck in Singlet Exciton Relaxation of Conjugated Polymer Aggregates
We designed hybrid aggregate model systems with cascade energy alignment from conjugated polymers (CPs) to quantum dots (QDs) to investigate the effects of QDs on CP singlet (S1) excitons. Radiative recombination of S1 excitons occurs within 1 ps in the chlorinated CP/QD hybrid system, indicating an enhanced emissive...
