Förster resonance energy transfer outpaces Auger recombination in CdTe/CdS quantum dots-rhodamine101 molecules system upon compression
Description
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and Auger recombination in quantum dots (QDs)-molecules system are important mechanisms for affecting performance of their optoelectronic and photosynthesis devices. However, exploring an effective strategy to promote FRET and suppress Auger recombination simultaneously remains a daunting challenge. Here, we report that FRET process is promoted and Auger recombination process is suppressed in CdTe/CdS QDs-Rhodamine101 (Rh101) molecules system upon compression. The greatly improved FRET is attributed to the shortened donor-acceptor distance and increased the number of molecules attached to QDs induced by pressure. The reduced Auger recombination is ascribed to the formation of an alloy layer at the core/shell interface. The FRET can occur 70 times faster than Auger recombination under a high pressure of 0.9GPa. Our findings demonstrate that high pressure is a robust tool to boost FRET and simultaneously suppress Auger recombination, and provides a new route to QDs-molecules applications.
