abstract = {Progress in the development of plasmon-enabled
light-harvesting technologies requires a better
understanding of their fundamental operating principles and
current limitations. Here, we employ picosecond
time-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy to
investigate photoinduced electron transfer in a plasmonic
model system composed of 20 nm sized gold nanoparticles
(NPs) attached to a nanoporous film of TiO2. The measurement
provides direct, quantitative access to transient local
charge distributions from the perspectives of the electron
donor (AuNP) and the electron acceptor (TiO2). On average,
approximately two electrons are injected per NP,
corresponding to an electron injection yield per absorbed
photon of $0.1\%.$ Back electron transfer from the
perspective of the electron donor is dominated by a fast
recombination channel proceeding on a time scale of 60 ± 10
ps and a minor contribution that is completed after ∼1 ns.
The findings provide a detailed picture of photoinduced
charge carrier generation in this NP–semiconductor
junction, with important implications for understanding
achievable overall photon-to-charge conversion
efficiencies.},
