Electron injection from excited CdSe quantum dots into TiO2 nanoparticles can be easily modulated by controlling the particle size. Femtosecond transient absorption studies indicate that the rate constant for electron transfer from the thermalized s-state of CdSe quantum dots increases with decreasing particle size. The energy difference between the conduction bands of the two semiconductor systems acts as a driving force for the electron transfer in the normal Marcus region. An increase in the interparticle electron transfer rate constant by 3 orders of magnitude (from similar to 10(7) to 10(10) s(-1)) has been achieved by decreasing the CdSe particle diameter from 7.5 to 2.4 nm.
