Synthesis and Photovoltaic Properties of Boron ?2a??Ketoiminate Dyes Forming A Linear Donora????a??Acceptor Structure
摘要: Organoboron complexes are of interest as chromophores for dye sensitizers owing to their light-harvesting and carrier-transporting properties. In this study, compounds containing boron β-ketoiminate (BKI) as a chromophore were synthesized and used as dye sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. The new dyes were orange or red crystals and showed maximum absorptions in the 410–450 nm wavelength region on titanium dioxide substrates. These electrodes exhibited maximum efficiencies of over 80% in incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency spectra, suggesting that the continuous process of light absorption–excitation–electron injection was effectively performed. Open-circuit photovoltages were relatively high owing to the large dipole moments of the BKI dyes with a linear molecular structure. Thus, a maximum power conversion efficiency of 5.3% was successfully observed. Comparison of BKI dyes with boron β-diketonate dyes revealed certain differences in solution stability, spectral properties, and photovoltaic characteristics.

Redox-Switchable Cyan Fluorescence of a BODIPY Analog Inspired by Propentdyopent Pigments
摘要: The combination of reversible redox chemistry and bright redox-responsive emission properties is key to the development of electrofluorochromic switches for applications in bioimaging and optoelectronics. Herein, the redox-active dipyrrin-1,9-dione fragment, which is characteristic of the propentdyopent family of heme metabolites and urinary pigments, is employed for the synthesis of a BODIPY analog. This boron difluoride complex exhibits bright fluorescence in organic solvents and a significant ipsochromic shift to the cyan region when compared to typical green BODIPY dyes. Electrochemical and spectroscopic measurements show that the dipyrrindione ligand acts as an electron reservoir by hosting an unpaired spin upon one-electron reduction. This ligand-based redox event reversibly abolishes the fluorescence emission, thus switching off the novel electrofluorochromic system.

Dye Engineered Perovskite Solar Cells under Accelerated Thermal Stress and Prolonged Light Exposure
摘要: Herein, the thermal and light stability enhancement of planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on the approach of dye-sensitization of the titania compact layer with the triphenylamine-based metal-free organic (E)-3-(5-(4-(bis(2’,4’-dibutoxy-[1,1’-biphenyl]-4-yl) amino) phenyl) thiophen-2-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid (D35) dye is reported. The D35 molecule is chemically adsorbed via a bidentate anchor group upon the TiO2 underlayer. This enhances the power conversion efficiency of PSCs due to its well-established versatile role, offering facilitation of electron charge transfer to the anode while favoring the growth of robust and homogenous perovskite layers. However, its influence in the PSC performance seems to expand further. The stability experiments showed an enhanced endurance for the devices after the insertion of D35, not only in shelf-shield conditions but also after accelerated thermal tests and prolonged light exposure. This study confirms the plethoric role of dye sensitization strategy and its advantages to interfacial engineering via organic chromophores towards efficient and stable PSCs.

Molecular Engineering of Simple Metal‐Free Organic Dyes Derived from Triphenylamine for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cell Applications
摘要: Two new metal-free organic sensitizers, L156 and L224, were designed, synthesized, and characterized for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The structures of the dyes contain a triphenylamine (TPA) segment and 4-(benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-yl)benzoic acid as electron-rich and -deficient moieties, respectively. Two different π bridges, thiophene and 4,8-bis(4-hexylphenyl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene, were used for L156 and L224, respectively. The influence of iodide/triiodide, [Co(bpy)3]2+/3+ (bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine), and [Cu(tmby)2]2+/+ (tmby = 4,4’,6,6’-tetramethyl-2,2’-bipyridine) complexes as redox electrolytes and 18 NR-T and 30 NR-D transparent TiO2 films on the DSC device performance was investigated. The L156-based DSC with [Cu(tmby)2]2+/+ complexes as the redox electrolyte resulted in the best performance of 9.26 % and a remarkably high open-circuit voltage value of 1.1 V (1.096 V), with a short-circuit current of 12.2 mA cm?2 and a fill factor of 0.692, by using 30 NR-D TiO2 films. An efficiency of up to 21.9 % was achieved under a 1000 lx indoor light source, which proved that dye L156 was also an excellent candidate for indoor applications. The maximal monochromatic incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency of L156–30 NR-D reached up to 70 %.

Using Polymers and Pigments to Produce Laser Interference Rings
摘要: When a laser of su?cient intensity is shined into a pigmented transparent medium, the partially absorbed laser light can heat and change the refractive index of the medium in the path of the beam. This altered medium will in turn cause the transmitted laser light to thermally defocus into a series of concentric rings. Some solvents such as 2-propanol and a variety of polymers such as polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polydimethylsiloxane can be pigmented with a variety of colors. Samples of various colors can be used to spectacularly demonstrate characteristics of light absorption. For example, a 2-propanol solution containing methyl red in red acidic form will absorb a green laser and produce interference rings, but a solution of methyl red in yellow basic form will not. As another example, a red laser beam will pass una?ected through a red pigmented ?lm, but the beam will heat a green ?lm (e.g., from a green pigmented polyethylene terephthalate soda bottle) to produce interference rings. Additionally, since the pattern produced is based on the interference of light waves, these demonstrations reinforce concepts associated with the wave nature of light.

Controlled aggregation of amphiphilic aggregation‐induced emission polycation and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as fluorescence/magnetic resonance imaging probes
摘要: Fluorescence/magnetic resonance (MR) dual-mode imaging, which combines the excellent single-cell sensitivity of ?uorescence imaging and the high spatial resolution of MR imaging, has been applied to different biomedical applications. However, the aggregation-caused quenching characteristic of most ?uorescence molecules often put limits in their applications. Herein, a ?uorescence/MR dual-mode imaging probe [polyethylene glycol-polyethylenimine-tetraphenylethene (PEG-PEI-TPE)/superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)] with aggregation-induced emission characteristic is prepared by coupling poly(acrylic acid)-coated SPIO with PEG-PEI-TPE. The ?uorescence intensity and lifetime of PEG-PEI-TPE/SPIO is higher than PEG-PEI-TPE especially at lower polymer concentrations (≤0.2 mg mL?1). Moreover, the ?uorescence intensity of PEG-PEI-TPE/SPIO gradually increased along with the decline of the pH from 9.0 to 4.0, which is bene?cial for studying intracellular organelles. The T2 relaxivity of PEG-PEI-TPE/SPIO is 212.3 Fe mM?1 s?1 under a 3.0 T MR scanner. Cell labeling experiment shows that PEG-PEI-TPE/SPIO can effectively label RAW 264.7 and Hela cells, and labeled cells are visible under both ?uorescence and clinical MR examinations.

Mix-&-Read Determination of Mercury(II) at Trace Levels with Hybrid Mesoporous Silica Materials Incorporating Fluorescent Probes by a Simple Mix-&-Load Technique
摘要: The synthesis, characterization, and application of mesoporous materials containing boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moieties that allow the sensitive and selective detection of HgII in aqueous environments by fluorescence enhancement is reported. For this purpose, BODIPY dye I containing a thia-aza crown ether receptor as the fluorescent probe for the detection of HgII in aqueous environments is encapsulated into mesoporous materials to avoid self-quenching or aggregation in water. Determination of HgII is accomplished within a few seconds with high selectivity and sensitivity, reaching a limit of detection of 12 ppt. The determination of trace amounts of HgII in natural waters and in fish extracts is demonstrated by using our sensing material. The incorporation of the material into several m-PAD strips yields a portable, cheap, quick, and easy-to-handle tool for trace HgII analysis in water.
