| Inorganic-organic hybrid structures provide a new wat to tailor the properties of next generation nanodevices. Gold nanoparticles and nanorods have now been functionalized with pyrene, fullerene and porphyrin derivatives. Excited state interactions with gold naoparticles have been probed using transient absorption and emission spectroscopy. The emissive properties of surface bound chromphores have been modulated by externally applied electrochemical bias. Application of these organic-inorganic hybrid systems in light energy conversion systems will be presented. |
