Photoinduced interfacial electron injection in RuN3-TiO2 thin films: Resolving picosecond timescale injection from the triplet state of the protonated and deprotonated dyes
Using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy we have studied light-induced electron injection from the sensitizer RuN3 and its partly deprotonated tetrabutylamonium salt to nano-structured TiO2 film. Previous studies have suggested significant differences in electron injection dynamics for these dyes and some results have indicated that aggregation of the sensitizer may lead to slow injecti
