研究目的
Investigating the photostability of a guest molecule in vapor-deposited glass mixtures without chemical modification.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the photostability of a guest molecule in a glass matrix can be significantly improved by using physical vapor deposition to achieve denser molecular packing, without altering the chemical structures of the guest or host. This approach could be valuable for extending the lifetime of organic electronic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to the specific guest-host system of DPA in celecoxib. The correlation between glass density and photostability is not perfect, suggesting other factors may also play a role. The method may not be universally applicable to all organic electronic materials.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized physical vapor deposition (PVD) to prepare glass mixtures of celecoxib with 4,4'-diphenyl azobenzene (DPA) as a guest molecule. The photoisomerization of DPA was studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared by co-depositing DPA and celecoxib onto substrates at various temperatures. The photostability was measured by monitoring the absorbance changes during UV irradiation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A vacuum chamber with a base pressure of 10?7 Torr, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for deposition rate monitoring, fused silica and silicon wafers as substrates, a 365 nm UV lamp for irradiation, and spectroscopic ellipsometry for density and thermal stability measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
DPA and celecoxib were co-deposited at different substrate temperatures. The photoisomerization was induced by UV light, and the changes in absorbance were recorded. The density and thermal stability of the glasses were measured by ellipsometry.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The rate of photoisomerization was analyzed from the changes in absorbance with illumination time. The density and thermal stability were determined from ellipsometry data.
