Photoinduced charge separation in ordered self-assemblies of perylenediimide-graphene oxide hybrid layers

Abstract

Remarkably fast photoinduced charge separation in well-ordered self-assemblies of perylenediimide-graphene oxide (TAIPDI-GO) hybrid layers was observed in aqueous environments. Slow charge recombination indicates an effective charge migration between the self-assembled layers of PDI-GO hybrids following the charge separation.
