Enhanced light-harvesting in quantum dot-metal-organic frameworks

Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) users from Northwestern University, working together with the Nanophotonics Group at the Argonne National Laboratory, report the functionalization of porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) for the enhancement of light harvesting via energy transfer from the QDs to the MOFs. This work paves the road for the development of efficient light harvesting complexes for solar energy conversion.
