摘要
We report photoconductivity at infrared wavelengths, 975-1300 nm, from a polymer/nanocrystal quantum dot composite. Biased films of the conjugated polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-(2(')-ethylhexyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene)] (MEH-PPV) sensitized with PbS nanocrystals (similar to5 nm diameter) demonstrate photocurrent at wavelengths beyond the response of the polymer and corresponding to the absorption of the nanocrystals. The photocurrent is attributed to absorption in the nanocrystals with subsequent hole transfer to the polymer and had an internal quantum efficiency of similar to5x10(-6) to similar to10(-5) charges/photon at 5 V bias.
