Sucking and speech use similar oral musculature and structures, therefore it is possible that early sucking patterns may impact early speech sound development. The objective of this review is to synthesise the current evidence on the influence of feeding and NNS on the speech sound development of healthy full-term children. SUMMARY Electronic databases (PubMed, NHS CRD, EMBASE, MEDLINE) were searched using terms specific to feeding, NNS and speech sound development. All methodologies were considered. Studies were assessed for inclusion and quality by 2 reviewers. Of 1,031 initial results, 751 records were screened, and 5 primary studies were assessed for eligibility, 4 of which were included in the review. Evidence from the available literature on the relationship between feeding, NNS an. Karger AG, Basel.The high efficiency of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) is a benefit of the highly efficient photoinduced-electron transfer (PET) to external electrodes. Here, we investigated how the surface defects and conduction-band (CB) offsets between core and shell materials affect the PET from CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) by means of time-resolved femtosecond transient absorption and nanosecond photoluminescence spectroscopy. The transfer of 1S excited electrons from CuInS2 QDs to TiO2 films is demonstrated and we find that the surface-electron trapping can significantly reduce the efficiency of the PET. Though the electron trapping can be suppressed after ZnS surface passivation, the PET decreases significantly to a low efficiency of ∼33% from the type I CuInS2/ZnS core/shell QDs because of their low electron density at the surface of the QDs. The surface-electron density is incre
