Published: February 2004

Luminescence lifetime measurements in sub-ns time resolution and visible pump-IR absorption probe measurements to study photo-induced carrier dynamics using fs laser pulses were carried out for the CdS nanoclusters prepared by reverse micelle method, the nanoclusters modified with 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (SO3-CdS) in water, and the SO3-CdS nanoclusters in a multilayer assembly. For a comparison, similar measurements were also carried out for a CdS nanocluster doped glass. The photoelectrochemical characteristics of the multilayer are also measured. The characteristics of nanocluster dispersion and those of multilayer assembly are compared. The sample dependent decay behaviors of luminescence and IR absorption are somewhat different and the importance of visible pump-IR absorption probe measurement is demonstrated.

Glutathione (GSH) is a bioactive tripeptide with important physiological functions in animals, plants, and microorganisms. GSH participates in various biochemical reactions in vivo and is known for its antioxidant, anti-allergy, and detoxification properties. This study introduces an innovative photoelectrochemical (PEC) method for GSH detection, leveraging a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode enhanced by TiO nanoflowers and graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs).

Bismuth tungstate perovskite has been identified as a promising photoelectric material. Nevertheless, the wide band gap of bismuth tungstate leads to short-wavelength absorption of a single material with an attenuated photocurrent response, hindering its realization in biosensing applications. In this study, F, S co-doped BiWO was synthesized by heat treatment and combined with SnS and CdS to form a ternary heterojunction composite.

Prospects of Halide Perovskites for Solar-to-Hydrogen Production.

Solar-driven hydrogen generation is one of the promising technologies developed to address the world's growing energy demand in an sustainable way. While, for hydrogen generation (otherwise water splitting), photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical, and PV-integrated water splitting systems employing conventional semiconductor oxides materials and their electrodes have been under investigation for over a decade, lead (Pb)- halide perovskites (HPs) made their debut in 2016. Since then, the exceptional characteristics of these materials, such as their tunable optoelectronic properties, ease of processing, high absorption coefficients, and long diffusion lengths, have positioned them as a highly promising material for solar-driven water splitting.

ConspectusTriangulene (TRI) and its heterotriangulene (HT) derivatives are planar, triangle-shaped molecules that, via suitable coupling reactions, can form extended organic two-dimensional (2D) crystal (O2DC) structures. While TRI is a diradical, HTs are either closed-shell molecules or monoradicals which can be stabilized in their cationic form.Triangulene-based O2DCs have a characteristic honeycomb-kagome lattice.
