A new study in Chem by Click et al. reveals that functionalizing CdS nanocrystals with a covalently bound phenothiazine carboxylate dramatically boosts charge-separation lifetimes—up to 24.2 μs in nanorods. This innovation enables near-perfect hole transfer and suppresses recombination, offering up to 43× greater photocatalytic efficiency than unmodified systems.
