Effect of incorporation of sulphur on the structural, morphological and optical studies of CdSe thin films deposited by solution processed spin coating technique
摘要： Ternary compound semiconductor CdSexS1-x (x = 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2 and 0) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by using simple solution processed spin coating technique. Cadmium acetate, sodium selenosulfate and thiourea were used as source materials for Cd2+, Se2? and S2? ions, while triethanolamine was used as a capping agent. The 25% concentred NH4OH solution was used as a complex reagent and also used to adjust the pH of the final solution ~ 11. The deposition conditions (rotation speed 2000 rpm for 30 s and substrate dried in the air at 120 °C for 2 min) were remain same for all the samples. The as-deposited thin films on glass substrate were annealed at 350 °C for 30 min. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that all the samples were polycrystalline in the nature with hexagonal structure. The most of prepared thin films were highly textured along (002) plane and peak position for plane (002) is shifted with change in composition ‘x’. The average crystallite size in CdSexS1-x thin films were found between 62.6 nm to 93.4 nm. Scanning electron microscopy images showed uniform deposition morphology with spherical shaped grains distributed over entire glass substrate. Samples CdSe0.8S0.2 and CdSe0.6S0.4 thin films indicated interesting morphological features with the combination of spherical shaped nanoparticles and interconnected nanofibers which form hierarchical flowerlike micro-structure. Energy dispersive X-Ray studies confirmed that thin films were having approximately same stoichiometry of atomic ratio of elements Cd, Se and S as present in volumetric ratio of the reactants in chemical solution. Fourier transform infrared studies confirmed the formation of the Cd(Se,S) bonding in materials. The optical band gap of CdSexS1-x thin films were found as direct band gap in the range of 1.82 eV to 2.32 eV. As the incorporation of sulphur element increases, the band gap of CdSexS1-x thin film also increases. The CdSexS1-x thin films can be used as absorption layer in solar photovoltaic cell which is due to wide and fine tenability of the energy band gap.

A fluorescent probe based on tetrahydro[5]helicene derivative with large Stokes shift for rapid and highly selective recognition of hydrogen sulfide
摘要： In this work, we have designed and synthesized a dinitrobenzene-sulfonate tetrahydro[5]helicene (H-DNP) as an effective fluorescent probe for detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Upon the addition of H2S, a significant fluorescence enhancement (75-fold) at 495 nm can be observed with a distinct color change from colorless to yellow. Additionally, H-DNP shows low background spectroscopic signal, large Stokes Shift up to ~140 nm, good sensitivity, rapid response time less than 2 min, low detection limit (48 nM) and high selectivity towards common bio-thiols (Cysteine, Homocysteine and Glutathione). Compared with the previous dinitrophenoxy tetrahydro[5]helicene, this probe has shorter response time and lower detection limit. Most importantly, this probe H-DNP has low toxicity to cells and excellent cell permeability, which can be applied to visualize H2S in living cells.

A sequential and reversibility fluorescent pentapeptide probe for Cu(II) ions and hydrogen sulfide detections and its application in two different living cells imaging
摘要： In this study, we report a sequential and reversibility fluorescent probe (DP5) based on pentapeptide conjugated with dansyl groups using the solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology. DP5 showed immediate “turn off” response toward Cu2+ ions at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm with detection limits of 23.5 nM. The 2:1 binding ratio between DP5 and Cu2+ were confirmed using Job's plot method and fluorescence titration study, and DP5-Cu complex was observed with an association constant of 6.76 × 108 M?2. As designed, DP5-Cu complex as a promising analytical probe exhibited highly selective for H2S detection in aqueous solutions. The detection limit for H2S was obtained to be 17.2 nM, and lower than EPA and WHO guidelines. In addition, the reversibility and cyclicity were imparted to the DP5 during the detection of Cu2+ and H2S, and cycle effect is very good. Furthermore, DP5 displayed better biocompatibility and low biotoxicity, and sequential fluorescence “on-off-on” responses of DP5 to Cu2+ and H2S were successfully applied in two different living cells.

Perylenequinone-based “turn on” fluorescent probe for hydrogen sulfide with a high sensitivity in living cells
摘要： Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a kind of gaseous signal molecule in many physiological processes. In order to detect H2S, a novel “turn on” fluorescent probe 6,12-dihydroxyperylene-1,7-dione (DPD) was designed and synthesized. The probe DPD is fluorescence silence, while the addition of H2S induces an obvious green fluorescence with an obvious color change from dark blue to yellow-green. The probe shows excellent selectivity, fast response (2.5 minutes) and linear curve (0-90 μM) in wide effective pH range (4-10). Competition experiments are also revealed in corresponding studies and the detection limit is 3.6 μM. The response mechanism is proved to be the reduction of the probe by H2S, which is confirmed by 1H NMR. Furthermore, through the fluorescence turn-on signal toward H2S in Hela cells, probe DPD was successfully applied to monitor H2S in living Hela cells.

Novel BODIPY-based fluorescent probes with large Stokes shift for imaging hydrogen sulfide
摘要： Hydrogen sulfide has important biomedical significance because it plays a regulatory role in a variety of physiological processes. In our previous work, we investigated the effect of substituents on Stokes shift of BODIPY and found that methoxy groups on phenyl substituents at 3,5-positions could expand the Stokes shift of BODIPY-based probes. In this study, taking hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as analyte, we designed and synthesized 4,4-difluoro-8-{4-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)phenyl}-3,5-bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indancene (DMOEPB) and 4,4-difluoro-8-(4-nitrophenyl)-3,5-bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indancene (DMONPB) according to the same strategy. As expected, Stokes shifts of 49 nm and 51 nm were obtained respectively, which demonstrate the feasibility of the strategy in the synthesis of other fluorescent probes for the detection of small biomolecules. DMONPB can react with H2S to form the derivative with a fluorescence quantum yield of 0.13. An excellent linear relationship was observed in the range of H2S concentrations from 0 μM to 800 μM and the detection limit was 1.3 μM. Furthermore, it can be successfully applied to imaging of H2S in cells and tissues. For DMOEPB, the presence of m-dinitrophenyl did not cause the expected fluorescence quenching, which makes it impossible to perform bioimaging. We speculate that the strong electron-withdrawing property of nitro group is obviously weaker when the two benzene rings are separated at 8-position and are not conjugated with the fluorophore. It provides experience and lessons for designing the same type of turn-on probe.

Liquefied petroleum gas sensing properties of ZnO/PPy/PbS QDs nanocomposite prepared by self-assembly combining with SILAR method
摘要： In this paper, a high-performance liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensor based on zinc oxide/polypyrrole/lead sulfide quantum dots (ZnO/PPy/PbS QDs) nanocomposite film was demonstrated, which was fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. The nanostructure features of the as-prepared ZnO/PPy/PbS nanocomposite film were confirmed by various characterization techniques. The room temperature gas-sensing investigation of the ZnO/PPy/PbS QDs nanocomposite sensor was performed against LPG gas in a wide concentration range. The experimental results showed an outstanding response for LPG sensing at room temperature compared with previous reports, the response can reach 45.47% at 1000 ppm LPG. And it also demonstrated good selectivity and excellent repeatability. The sensing mechanism of the PPy/ZnO/PbS QDs nanocomposite film gas sensor is owing to the p-n heterojunction created at the ZnO/PPy interface, as well as much more active adsorption sites.

Synthesis of porous NiMo sulphide microspheres for high-Performance dye-sensitized solar cells and supercapacitor
摘要： Novel hierarchical porous NiMoS4 microspheres with high electrochemical performance was successfully prepared using a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The dual application of porous NiMoS4 microspheres in energy harvesting and storage (ie, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and supercapacitors (SCs) respectively) is explored. In contrast to NiS2 nanosheets, MoS2 nanosheets and Pt counter electrodes (CEs), the NiMoS4 microspheres CE demonstrated the lowest charge transfer resistance and highest electrocatalytic activity for the I3?/I? redox couple reaction. The NiMoS4-based DSSC showed a high power conversion efficiency (8.9%) even than that of Pt-based DSSC (8.7%) under simulated standard global AM 1.5G sunlight (100 mW cm?2). As an electroactive material for SCs, the assembled NiMoS4//AC asymmetric supercapacitor showed excellent specific capacitance (118.7 F g?1 at 1 A g?1), high energy density of 42.2 Wh kg?1 (with a power density of 799.2 W kg?1), and superior cycling durability with a specific capacitance retention of 79.5% after 9000 cycles at 3 A g?1.

Ultrathin and Isotropic Metal Sulfide Wrapping on Plasmonic Metal Nanoparticles for SERS-based Detection of Trace Heavy Metal Ions.
摘要： A facile and general strategy is presented for homogenous and ultrathin metal sulfide-wrapping on plasmonic metal (PM) nanoparticles (NPs) based on a thiourea-induced isotropic shell growth. This strategy is typically implemented just via adding the thiourea into pre-formed PM colloidal solutions containing target metal ions. The validity of this strategy is demonstrated by taking the wrapped NPs with Au core and CuS shell or Au@CuS NPs as an example. They are successfully fabricated via adding the thiourea and Cu2+ solutions into pre-formed Au NP colloidal solution. The CuS shell layer is highly homogenous (<10% in relative standard deviation of shell thickness), regardless of the NPs’ shape or curvature. The shell thickness can be controlled from tens down to 0.5 nm just by the addition amounts of the shell precursors. The formation of the shell layer on the Au NPs can be attributed to the alternative deposition of Cu2+ and S2- ions on the thiourea-modified surface of Au NPs in the solution, which induces the isotropic shell growth. Further, this strategy is of good universality. Many other sulfide-wrapped PM NPs, such as Ag@CuS, Au@PtS2, Au@HgS, Ag@Ag2S NPs and Ag@CuS nanorods have been successfully obtained with homogeneous and ultrathin shells. Importantly, such ultrathin sulfide-wrapped PM NPs can be used for SERS-based detection of trace heavy metal ions with strong anti-interference via ion exchange process between the metal sulfide shell and heavy metal ions. This study provides a simple and controllable route for wrapping the homogenous and ultrathin sulfide layers on the PM NPs, and such wrapped NPs have good practical applications in the SERS-based detection of trace heavy metal ions.

Grafting cobalt sulfide on graphene nanosheets as a counterelectrode for dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： In the present work a composite counter electrode of graphene nanosheets grafted cobalt sulfide was fabricated through a facile synthetic route, in which cobalt sulfide nanoparticles were successfully grafted on the surface of graphene nanosheets. Used as a counter electrode in DSSC, a power conversion efficiency of 7.28% can be achieved. Such a result might be contributed to the facts that this counter electrode composed of graphene nanosheets grafted cobalt sulfide has a good stability and electrochemical catalytic performance toward triiodide reduction reaction.

Preparation of hierarchical flower-like nickel sulfide as hole transporting material for organic solar cells via a one-step solvothermal method
摘要： In this work, nickel sulfide (NiS) with a mesoporous network was prepared through a simple solvothermal approach. The influences of various contents of the sulfur source on the morphological changes were examined. Finally, the resultant NiS doped with various contents of sulfur were used as hole-transport layers (HTLs) for the application to organic solar cells (OSCs). Based on our knowledge of the implementation of OSCs, NiS-based HTLs are used for the first time in this paper. The OSCs developed with NiS_2.0 (NiS doped with 2.0 g of thioacetamide (sulfur source)) HTL showed a higher PCE response, at 2.28% than those fabricated with NiS_1.0 (NiS doped with 1.0 g of thioacetamide), NiS_1.5, (NiS doped with 1.5 g of thioacetamide), and NiS_2.5 (NiS doped with 2.5 g of thioacetamide), which only showed 1.38%, 1.88%, and 1.96%, respectively. Besides this improved photovoltaic response, it also demonstrated a superior reproducibility with a high degree of control over the environmental stability, i.e., 360 h, as compared to the bare PEDOT:PSS HTL-based OSCs, which showed just 240 h.
