second band structure whose Efb lies near the redox potential of the iron complex on the TiO2 surface.
The photocurrents increased with repeated scans. In a previous paper [14] by one of the present authors (MK), both Schottky junction and ohmic contact behavior were found at a single crystal CdS
photoanode with RuO2 fine powder attached to the surface and coated with a thin film of polymer-pendant Ru(bpy)32+ on top of the RuO2. It was clear that the CdS formed a Schottky junction with the redox electrolyte solution, and in addition, the RuO2 formed an ohmic contact with the CdS, and the coated

Society, Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development and Innovation, Utrecht University, Heidelberglaan 2, 3584 CS Utrecht, the Netherlands 10.3762/bjnano.1.11 Abstract Highly luminescent nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods into different polymer matrices. The
thermal stability. It can be obtained from renewable resources such as wood or cotton. Moreover, it has already been found to be a suitable matrix for embedding CdSe/ZnS QDs [11][12][13]. The structure of CTA is shown in Figure 1. We used CdSe/CdS nanorods with two different sizes, longer rods with an
within these agglomerates is ~2 nm.
Conclusion
We have prepared highly transparent (>93%) luminescent (QE = 70%) nanocomposites from CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods in PLMA plates and CTA thin layers. A high QE is observed at low nanorod concentrations (0.008 wt %) in PLMA, corresponding to a concentration
