Our study of the dye's interactions with the nanoparticles provides details about the attachment, the surface environment and the ability for the dyes to inject electrons in competition with loss mechanisms.College of Science and EngineeringDepartment of ChemistryEfficient charge transfer from excited state dye molecules into nanoparticles as a model for dye sensitized solar cellsPresentation
