Main Results:

  • Demonstrated efficient resonant energy transfer from QDs to INTs when QD emission energy is higher than the INT direct gap.
  • Observed absence of charge transfer when QD band gaps are below the INT direct gap.
  • Attributed the lack of charge transfer to an organic barrier layer from QD ligands.

Conclusions:

  • The developed INT-QD hybrid system facilitates efficient energy transfer, a key process for optoelectronic applications.
  • Ligand-induced organic barriers prevent charge transfer, offering a pathway to control charge dynamics in hybrid nanostructures.
  • These hybrid structures show promise for applications in photovoltaics, luminescence tagging, and optoelectronics.
