Abstract
In the past few years, there has been immense interest in the preparation of sustainable photocatalysts composed of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) as one of their components. We report here, for the first time, the effects of structural parameters of copper indium diselenide (CuInSe2) NCs on visible light-driven photocatalytic degradation of pollutants under homogeneous conditions. Ligand exchange reactions were performed replacing insulating, oleylamine capping with poly(ethylene glycol) thiols to prepare PEG-thiolate-capped, 1.8–5.3 nm diameter CuInSe2 NCs to enhance their solubility in water. This unique solubility property caused inner-sphere electron transfer reactions (O2 to O2•−) to occur at the NC surface, allowing for sustainable photocatalytic reactions. Electrochemical characterization of our dissolved CuInSe2 NCs showed that the thermodynamic driving force (−ΔG) for oxygen reduction, which increased with decreased NC size, was the dominant contributor to the overall process when compared to ...
