Abstract
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are potential photosensitizers and photocatalysts for solar-fuel-related transformations. The nanocrystal surface dictates charge transfer rates and long-term photocatalyst stability, two longstanding challenges in this area. The surface is a complex hybrid interface that includes supporting ligands as well as the surface atoms of the semiconductor material, all of which can participate in photocatalysis. This mini review presents advances in understanding how these nanocrystal surface components influence nanocrystal photocatalytic applications. In particular, the effects of surface ligands, photoinduced surface reduction and oxidation processes, and surface radical reactions will be emphasized.
期刊介绍：
Energy & Fuels publishes reports of research in the technical area defined by the intersection of the disciplines of chemistry and chemical engineering and the application domain of non-nuclear energy and fuels. This includes research directed at the formation of, exploration for, and production of fossil fuels and biomass; the properties and structure or molecular composition of both raw fuels and refined products; the chemistry involved in the processing and utilization of fuels; fuel cells and their applications; and the analytical and instrumental techniques used in investigations of the foregoing areas.
