Abstract

We report on the formation of photoactive hybrid structures based on multilayer graphene nanobelts and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) on Pt microelectrodes. We have found that heat treatment in mild conditions enhances rate of electrical photoresponse of the hybrid structures due to elimination of long-lived charge traps. We also show that the electrical photoresponse polarity depends on the energy level structure of the QDs.
