We report that ultraviolet/ozone (UV/O3) treatment can be used to remove sixth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers from dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles (Pt DENs) previously immobilized onto a pyrolyzed photoresist film (PPF) electrode. Results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical experiments indicate that removal of the dendrimer proceeds without changes to the size, shape, or electrocatalytic properties of the encapsulated nanoparticles. The UV/O3 treatment did not damage the PPF electrode. The electrocatalytic properties of the DENs before and after removal of the dendrimer were nearly identical.

Ultraviolet-ozone (UV-O) treatment is a simple but effective technique for surface cleaning, surface sterilization, doping, and oxidation, and is applicable to a wide range of materials. In this study, we investigated how UV-O treatment affects the optical and electrical properties of molybdenum disulfide (MoS), with and without the presence of a dielectric substrate. We performed detailed photoluminescence (PL) measurements on 1-7 layers of MoS with up to 8 min of UV-O exposure.

Article Synopsis
- The interaction between water components (like dissolved organic matter and ions) and pharmaceuticals affects how pollutants move and break down in water.
- The study examines how different water conditions influence drug degradation and the energy needed for various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using UV and other treatments.
- Factors enhancing or inhibiting pollutant breakdown include reactive species formation and catalyst performance, but there's a need for better understanding of cost-effectiveness and toxic by-product generation in these processes.

Ultraviolet/ozone (UV/O) treatment has been reported to be an effective method to modify properties such as wettability, adhesion or adsorption of plastic surfaces. The change in the surface is measured by contact angle analysis, which employs liquids and their surface tensions (ST) to estimate the surface energy (SE). We found two different practices in the scientific community: (1) the majority of researchers adopted the ST value of liquids from the literature, while (2) other researchers conducted real-time measurements in the lab under ambient conditions prior to SE estimation.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterojunctions have many unique properties, and energy band modulation is central to applying these properties to electronic devices. Taking the 2D graphene/MoSheterojunction as a model system, we demonstrate that the band structure can be finely tuned by changing the graphene structure of the 2D heterojunction via ultraviolet/ozone (UV/O). With increasing UV/Oexposure time, graphene in the heterojunction has more defect structures.

The development of p-type metal-oxide semiconductors (MOSs) is of increasing interest for applications in next-generation optoelectronic devices, display backplane, and low-power-consumption complementary MOS circuits. Here, we report the high performance of solution-processed, p-channel copper-tin-sulfide-gallium oxide (CTSGO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) using UV/O exposure. Hall effect measurement confirmed the p-type conduction of CTSGO with Hall mobility of 6.
