Abstract

The dynamics of photoinduced electron transfer between 3.0 nm diameter MoS2 nanoclusters and adsorbed electron acceptors have been studied using static and time resolved optical spectroscopy. Two types of electron acceptors are adsorbed on these nanoclusters: 2,2'-bipyridine and 4,4',5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyridine. The results reported here focus on the interpretation of the strongly non-exponential electron transfer kinetics. Electron/hole recombination kinetics have previously been analyzed in terms of a simple distributed kinetics model, and this model is extended to include the case of interfacial electron transfer.
