The design of novel nanostructures with tailored opto-electronic properties is a crucial step for third-generation photovoltaics, and the development of cheap and environmentally compatible materials is still a challenge. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) emerged as promising candidates but usually a low processability and poor electron-donor properties hampered their photovoltaic applications. We tackle these issues through the synthesis and photophysical characterization of N-doped CQDs functionalized with different thiophene-containing groups. Functionalization was aimed at enhancing the electron donating properties of the carbon dots and improving the solubility in nonpolar solvents. The increased solubility in organic solvents allowed us to investigate the photoinduced interactions of the functionalized carbon dots with the fullerene derivative PCBM in solution and in solid blends. The investigation was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, photoluminescence spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The remarkable oxidation potential shift of the functionalized carbon dots with respect to the pristine materials and the HOMO–LUMO energies strongly suggest them as good electron donors towards PCBM. The electron transfer process between CQDs and PCBM resulted in efficient fluorescence quenching in solution and in total quenching in solid blends. By using EPR spectroscopy in the solid blends, we demonstrated the efficient electron transfer by observing the photoinduced formation of a PCBM radical anion in the presence of functionalized CQDs. Time-resolved EPR allowed us to identify differences in the charge transport efficiency for different CQD:PCBM blends. The enhanced processability of CQDs with PCBM and the promising charge-generation and separation properties pave the way to the development of “all-carbon” photovoltaic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
