Abstract: | Photosensitization by Erythrosin B of a TiO2 colloidal dispersion in acetonitrile has been studied by fast kinetic spectroscopy. The dye molecules adsorbed on the TiO2 surface had a significantly shorter lifetime (2̃ 250 ps) compared to those in homogeneous solution (≈ 1.6 ns) in acetonitrile. The photosensitization of TiO2 occurred more efficiently from the singlet than from the triplet state of the dye. |
