Multiexciton generation in quantum dots (QDs) may provide a new approach for improving the solar-to-electric power conversion efficiency in QD-based solar cells. However, it remains unclear how to extract these excitons before the ultrafast exciton-exciton annihilation process. In this study we investigate multiexciton dissociation dynamics in CdSe QDs adsorbed with methylene blue (MB+) molecules by transient absorption spectroscopy. We show that excitons in QDs dissociate by ultrafast electron transfer to MB+ with an average time constant of similar to 2 ps. The charge separated state is long-lived (>1 ns), and the charge recombination rate increases with the number of dissociated excitons. Up to three MB+ molecules per QD can be reduced by exciton dissociation. Our result demonstrates that ultrafast interfacial charge separation can effectively compete with exciton-exciton annihilation, providing a viable approach for utilizing short-lived multiple excitons in QDs.
