Photo-induced electron transfer at nanostructured semiconductor-zinc porphyrin interface

- Electron transfer at the interface of ZnO nanorods and porphyrin derivative.
- Atomic layer deposited 5 nm layer of TiO2 accelerates the electron transfer.
- Sub-ps electron transfer from zinc porphyrin to ZnO-TiO2 core-shell nanorods.
- TiO2 shell layer improves the functionality of DSSC based on ZnO nanorod photoanode.
