Charge separation in semiconducting materials is an essential process that determines the efficiency of photovoltaic devices and photocatalysts. Herein, we report the charge-separation dynamics in type-II CdS/CdTe heterostructured nanorods revealed by femtosecond transient-absorption (TA) measurements with a broad-band white-light probe. Under selective excitation of the CdTe segment, bleaching signals at the band gap energy of CdS were dearly observed with a rise component on a subpicosecond time scale, which indicates efficient electron transfer from CdTe to CdS. The pump-energy dependence of the TA dynamics shows that hot electrons rapidly relax to the bottom of the conduction band of CdTe, and then the electrons transfer to the CdS segment.
