Abstract
The low electron affinity of ZnTe quantum dots (QDs) makes it of interest for critically important photocatalytic processes. However, studies of charge transfer from such materials to adsorbates have not been reported. Here, the ultrafast internal and external charge separation dynamics in ZnTe/CdSe core/shell type II QDs have been studied through femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The internal electron transfer time from a ZnTe core to a CdSe shell was found to be 0.67 ps, while the external electron transfer time from QDs to adsorbed molecules was found to be
