Experimental determination of charge carrier dynamics in carbon nitride heterojunctions
Emma Mitchell, Abigail Law, Robert Godin
Abstract
appeared to limit the depth of conclusions from TRPL, with both lengthening and shortening of the TRPL lifetimes observed and attributed to enhanced charge separation. Overall, the charge carrier dynamics studies often showed a relative lifetime change of ∼2-fold and an activity improvement of >10-fold. We highlight the need for the use of a wider range of techniques to monitor the charge carrier dynamics for conclusive determination of photophysics-activity relationships and elucidation of improvement mechanisms.
