Solution-processed organic diodes based on bulk heterojunctions are attractive for large area photodetection. We report a general approach for fully spray-coated organic photodiodes with outstanding characteristics in comparison to bladed or spin-coated devices. Despite the high surface roughness and the less defined morphology of the spray-deposited organic layers, we observe organic photodetectors with responsivities of 0.36 A/W and noise equivalent powers of 0.2 pW/H(1/2) in the visible spectrum at high reverse biases of -5 V. Furthermore, we demonstrate device lifetimes beyond 1 year as well as superior yield and reproducibilties for the dark current and photocurrent densities.

The light-absorbing chemical components of atmospheric organic aerosols are commonly referred to as Brown Carbon (BrC), reflecting the characteristic yellowish to brown appearance of aerosol. BrC is a highly complex mixture of organic compounds with diverse compositions and variable optical properties of its individual chromophores. BrC significantly influences the radiative budget of the climate and contributes to adverse air pollution effects such as reduced visibility and the presence of inhalable pollutants and irritants.

Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) has proven beneficial efficiency and ecological impact for routine quality control activities. In the proposed study, cyrene was investigated for the first time, together with other green additives, as a novel safe organic solvent in reversed-phase MLC. Quality-by-design (QbD) approach screened their effect on the separation performance.

Organic photodiodes (OPDs) that utilize wavelength-selective absorbing molecules offer a direct approach to capturing specific wavelengths of light in multispectral sensors/imaging systems without filters. However, they exhibit broad response bandwidths, low external quantum efficiency (EQE), and often require compromises in two-component photoactive materials. Herein, the first utility of boron-nitrogen (BN) single-component photoabsorbers, leveraging a multi-resonance effect are introduced to attain OPDs with both record-high EQE of 33.

Beyond the crystalline photodiodes for infrared visualization, with the limitation of opacity and complex lithographic processes, organic upconversion device (UCD) have emerged as a potential alternative. In this research, a ternary compensation strategy is implemented in a non-fullerene-based active layer to reduce the dark current of the detector and enhance its detection performance, which enables high-sensitive efficient upconversion device for near-infrared light (NIR) visualization. The device achieves an infrared-to-visible upconversion efficiency of 16.

This paper presents a validated method using ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HRMS) for the simultaneous analysis of a wide range of natural and synthetic organic colourants, including neutral, acidic and basic dyes. In total, 30 natural and 62 synthetic organic dye reference samples (which contain 118 compounds because some of the dyes are composed of mixtures) were analysed. The method demonstrated good linearity for the 12 dyes selected for method validation achieving correlation coefficients (R) exceeding 0.
