Abstract

AbstractThe fabrication and characterization of a hybrid polymer p‐n junction‐type thin film via electropolymerization of NPs and a precursor polymer is described. Blends of TiO2 NPs, CdSe NCs, Cbz‐COOH, and PVK were utilized to enable electrochemical deposition on ITO glass substrates. Spectroscopic, microscopic, and wetting measurements confirmed thin film fabrication. CV yielded a CPN nanocomposite with electropolymerized (i.e., crosslinked) carbazole units embedding CdSe NCs. Absorption and emission measurements confirmed a charge transfer mechanism between the crosslinked carbazole and the NCs resulting in a p‐n junction‐type thin film on ITO; with the observed quenching of CdSe NC emission. Several possible applications of such thin films are also discussed. magnified image
