A Biological-Based Photovoltaic Electrochemical Cell: Modelling the Impedance Spectra
摘要： The impedance response of an electrochemical cell able to convert sunlight into electrical power is analyzed and discussed. Light conversion is due to a photosynthetic system known as reaction center, which is the core of photosynthesis in several living beings. Under illumination, an abrupt transformation drives the cell electrical response from insulator to conductor and a photocurrent is observed. The impedance spectrum shows a peculiar shape which significantly modifies after the protein activation. It has been analyzed by means of a graphical/analytical/numerical procedure. Some impedance graphical representations are indicated as the most appropriate to suggest the design of an equivalent electrical circuit. Then, the analytical expression of this circuit is formulated and used to set-up a custom Phyton code useful for fitting experimental data. Finally, an appropriate normalization procedure is proposed, which validates data in dark and light and can be useful as a fast screening of measurements.

A Nanostructured Gold/Graphene Microfluidic Device for Direct and Plasmonic-Assisted Impedimetric Detection of Bacteria
摘要： Hierarchical 3D gold nano-micro islands (NMIs) are favourably structured for direct and probe-free capture of bacteria in optical and electrochemical sensors. Moreover, their unique plasmonic properties make them a suitable candidate for plasmonic-assisted electrochemical sensors, yet the charge transfer needs to be improved. In the present study, we propose a novel plasmonic-assisted electrochemical impedimetric detection platform based on hybrid structures of 3D gold NMIs and graphene (Gr) nanosheets for probe-free capture and label-free detection of bacteria. The inclusion of Gr nanosheets significantly improves the charge transfer, addressing the central issue of using 3D gold NMIs. Notably, the 3D gold NMIs/Gr detection platform successfully distinguishes between various types of bacteria including Escherichia coli (E. coli) K12, Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) when electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is applied under visible light. We show that distinguishable and label-free impedimetric detection is due to dissimilar electron charge transfer caused by various sizes, morphologies, and compositions of the cells. In addition, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation of the electric field indicates the intensity of charge distribution at the edge of the NMI structures. Furthermore, the wettability studies demonstrated that contact angle is a characteristic feature of each type of captured bacteria on the 3D gold NMIs, which strongly depends on the shape, morphology, and size of the cells. Ultimately, exposing the platform to various dilutions of the three bacteria strains, revealed the ability to detect dilutions as low as ~20 CFU/mL in a wide linear range of detection of 2(cid:3)101-105, 2(cid:3)101-104 and 1(cid:3)102-1(cid:3)105 CFU/mL for E. coli, P. putida, and S. epidermidis, respectively. The proposed hybrid structure of 3D gold NMIs and Gr combined by novel plasmonic and conventional impedance spectroscopy techniques open interesting avenues in ultrasensitive label-free detection of bacteria with low cost and high stability.

摘要： We demonstrate the performance enhancement of field-effect transistor (FET)-based plasmonic terahertz (THz) detector with monolithic integrated antenna in low-impedance regime and report the experimental results of Si MOSFET impedance in THz regime using 0.2-THz measurement system. By designing FET with low-impedance ranges (<1 kΩ) and integrating antennas with impedances of 50 and 100 Ω, we found that our low-impedance MOSFETs have the input impedance criterion of 50 Ω at 0.2 THz and the MOSFETs with thinner gate oxide show the highly enhanced plasmonic photoresponses at 50-Ω antenna by 325 times from the result of the detector without antenna.

Compact quad-band band-pass filters using stepped-impedance coupled-line resonators
摘要： In this article, compact quad-band band-pass filters are realized by using stepped-impedance coupled-line quad-mode resonators (SICLQMRs). The compactness of the quad-mode resonator relies in its folded structure without extra space between the parallel lines. Unlike stepped-impedance resonators, SICLQMRs provide more design freedoms for controlling the four resonating frequencies since the even- and odd-mode equivalents can be separately assigned with characteristic impedances. Internal and external couplings are also parallel couplings, resulting in very compact dimensions of the filters. Simulated and measured S parameters are compared with good agreement, demonstrating the feasibility of the design.

A Modified High Voltage Gain Quasi-Impedance Source Coupled Inductor Multilevel Inverter for Photovoltaic Application
摘要： The quasi-impedance source inverters/quasi-Z source inverters (Q-ZSIs) have shown improvement to overwhelmed shortcomings of regular voltage-source inverters (VSIs) and current-source inverters (CSIs) in terms of efficiency and buck-boost type operations. The Q-ZSIs encapsulated several significant merits against conventional ZSIs, i.e., realized buck/boost, inversion and power conditioning in a single power stage with improved reliability. The conventional inverters have two major problems; voltage harmonics and boosting capability, which make it impossible to prefer for renewable generation and general-purpose applications such as drive acceleration. This work has proposed a Q-ZSI with five-level six switches coupled inverter. The proposed Q-ZSI has the merits of operation, reduced passive components, higher voltage boosting capability and high efficiency. The modified space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) developed to achieve the desired control on the impedance network and inverter switching states. The proposed PWM integrates the boosting and regular inverter switching state within one sampling period. The PWM has merits such as reduction of coupled inductor size, total harmonic reduction with enhancing of the fundamental voltage profile. In comparison with other multilevel inverters (MLI), it utilizes only half of the power switch and a lower modulation index to attain higher voltage gain. The proposed inverter dealt with photovoltaic (PV) system for the stand-alone load. The proposed boost inverter topology, operating performance and control algorithm is theoretically investigated and validated through MATLAB/Simulink software and experimental upshots. The proposed topology is an attractive solution for the stand-alone and grid-connected system.

Impedimetric detection of Banana bunchy top virus using CdSe quantum dots for signal amplification
摘要： Banana bunchy top virus is considered to be the most economically destructive pathogens of banana that causes severe economic loss in banana plantations worldwide, including India. In this present study we have developed an improved electrochemical ELISA for detection of Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV). For enhanced and accurate detection we have used cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) as signal amplifiers. Experiments in this study were performed using primary antibody raised from recombinant coat protein of BBTV. CdSe QDs could significantly amplify the electrical signals in this assay and make the method appropriate for lab use. The result of electrical conduction showed the difference of impedance between the healthy and diseased sample of the order of ~ 100 Ω. The electrochemical ELISA could detect the virus in plant sap up to dilution of 1:25 as compared to 1:10 of conventional ELISA.

Electrochemical Immunosensor for Human IgE Using Ferrocene Self-Assembled Monolayers Modified ITO Electrode
摘要： The immunoglobulin E (IgE) level in serum is an important factor in the examination of allergy. Ferrocene (Fc)-modified self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were placed on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode as a sensing layer for the detection of human IgE. The Fc moiety in the SAMs facilitated the electron transfer through the organic SAMs layer and electrocatalytic signal amplification. The electrochemical measurement was accomplished after the sandwich type immobilization of the receptor antibody, target human IgE, and enzyme conjugated secondary antibody. The enzyme product, p-aminophenol, was quantitatively analyzed by redox cycling via Fc. In addition, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was investigated for the detection of IgE. The limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), and dynamic range of the electrochemical sensor were 3 IU/mL, 10 IU/mL, and from 10 IU/mL to 100 IU/mL, respectively.

How Reproducible are Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Data for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells?
摘要： Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) technology has been broadly investigated over the past few decades. The sandwich-type structure of the DSC makes the manufacturing undemanding under laboratory conditions but results in the need for reproducible measurements for acceptable DSC characterization. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) offers the possibility to study complex electronic systems and is commonly used for solar cells. There is a tendency in the literature to present impedance data only for one representative device. At the same time, as current density–voltage plots illustrate, measurements can vary within one set of DSCs with identical components. We present multiple DSC impedance measurements on “identical” devices prepared using two different dyes and present a statistical analysis regarding the reproducibility.

Nanoscale Perovskite-Sensitized Solar Cell Revisited: Is This Dye-Cell or Perovskite-Cell?
摘要： A general and straightforward way of preparing few nanometer-sized well-separated MAPbIxBr3-x perovskite photosensitizers on the surface of ~1 μm thick mesoporous TiO2 photoanode was suggested via a two-step sequential deposition of low-concentrated lead halides (0.10 ~ 0.30 M PbI2 or PbBr2) and methylammonium iodide/bromide (MAI/MABr). When those nanoscale MAPbIxBr3-x perovskites are incorporated as a photosensitizer in typical solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (ss-DSSCs), it could be verified clearly by the capacitance analysis that nano-particulate MAPbI3 perovskites are playing the same role as that of a typical dye sensitizer (MK-2 molecule) though their size, composition and structure are different.

摘要： To avoid straightforward volumetric discretization, a discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method integrated with the impedance boundary condition (IBC) is presented in this paper to analyze the scattering from objects with finite conductivity. Two situations are considered. 1) The skin depth is smaller than the thickness of the conductive volume. 2) The skin depth is larger than the thickness of a thin conductive sheet. For the first situation, a surface impedance boundary condition (SIBC) is employed, wherein the surface impedance usually exhibits a complex relation with the frequency. To incorporate the SIBC into DGTD, the surface impedance is first approximated by rational functions in the Laplace domain using the fast relaxation vector-fitting (FRVF) technique. Via inverse Laplace transform, the time-domain DGTD matrix equations can be obtained conveniently in integral form with respect to time t. For the second situation, a transmission IBC (TIBC) is used to include the transparent effects of the fields. In the TIBC, the tangential magnetic field jump is related with the tangential electric field via the surface conductivity. In this work, a specifically designed DGTD algorithm with TIBC is developed to model the graphene up to the terahertz (THz) band. In order to incorporate the TIBC into DGTD without involving the time-domain convolution, an auxiliary surface polarization current governed by a first-order differential equation is introduced over the graphene. For open-region scattering problems, the DGTD algorithm is further hybridized with the time-domain boundary integral (TDBI) method to rigorously truncate the computational domain. To demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the proposed algorithm, several representative examples are provided.
