Title: Size dependence of photocatalytic hydrogen generation for CdTe quantum dots

Abstract

CdTe quantum dots (QDs) are attractive photosensitizers for photocatalytic proton reduction due to their broad absorbance profile that can extend from the ultraviolet to near-infrared regions, providing access to a larger portion of the solar spectrum than possible with analogous CdSe and CdS QD photosensitizers. Here, the photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) generation from various sizes of dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA)-capped CdTe QDs, ranging from 2.5 to 7.5 nm in diameter, and a molecular Ni-DHLA catalyst in aqueous solutions was evaluated, and an unusual size-dependent photocatalytic activity with CdTe QDs was observed. Under optimized conditions, using 3.4 nm CdTe-DHLA and a 1:20 ratio of QD/Ni-DHLA catalyst, as many as 38 000 turnover numbers (mol H2 per mol QD) were achieved. However, below this critical size, the H2 production efficiency decreased; this behavior is attributed to the rapid oxidation of the QD surface, resulting in detrimental surface trap states. These results are consistent with ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopic measurements, which suggest the presence of extremely fast charge-trapping processes in the oxidized CdTe-DHLA QDs. While fast electron transfer from CdTe-DHLA QDs is observed in the presence of the Ni-DHLA catalyst, the charge trapping processes occur on a competitive time scale, thus lowering the efficiency ofmore » the CdTe/Ni-DHLA H2 production system. Understanding rapid charge trapping in CdTe QDs may help suggest potential improvements for the overall CdTe photocatalytic system.« less
