19. If the CdSe nanocrystal is discharged after reaction 1, the electron hopping time between cross-linked nanocrystals (<100 ns, see ref 16 for details) is much shorter than the time required for the hole transport through the nanocrystal/electrolyte interface - see Baral, S.; Fojtik, A.; Weller, H.; Heinglein, A.

23. 2 was observed in acetone, acetonitrile, and ethyl acetate media. However, the decay time of the CL intensity was found to be strongly dependent on the solvent and pH varying from tens of seconds in acetonitrile to tens of minutes in 0.1 M aqueous solution of KOH.
