The role of symmetric functionalisation on photoisomerisation of a UV commercial chemical filter
摘要： Photoisomerisation has been shown to be an efficient excited-state relaxation mechanism for a variety of nature-based and artificial-based molecular systems. Here we report on the excited-state relaxation dynamics and consequent photostability of a symmetrically functionalised cinnamate by transient electronic absorption spectroscopy, along with complementary computational and steady-state spectroscopy methods. The findings are then discussed in comparison to 2-ethylhexyl-E-4-methoxycinnamate, a structurally related 'off the shelf' chemical filter present in commercial sunscreens with a similar absorption profile. The present study allows for a like-for-like comparison between 2-ethylhexyl-E-4-methoxycinnamate and the functionalised cinnamate, driven by the need to enhance solar protection across both the UVA and UVB regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The classification of plants by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy based on two chemometric methods
摘要： The applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) on classifying complex natural organics are relatively limited and their accuracies still needs to be improved. To study the methods on classification of complex organics, three kinds of fresh leaves were measured by LIBS in this work. 100 spectra from 100 samples of each kind of leaves were measured and then they were divided into training set and test set in a ratio of 7:3. Two algorithms of chemometric methods including the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and principal component analysis Mahalanobis distance (PCA-MD) were used to identify these leaves. By using 23 lines from 16 elements or molecules as input data, these two methods can both classify these three kinds of leaves successfully. The classification accuracies of training set are both up to 100% by PCA-MD and PLS-DA, respectively. The classification accuracies of test set are 93.3% by PCA-MD and 97.8% by PLS-DA, respectively. It means that PLS-DA is better than PCA-MD in classifying plant leaves. Because the components in PLS-DA process are more suitable for classification than those in PCA-MD process. We think that this work can provide a reference for plant traceability using LIBS.

Origin of Light Scattering in Dye Doped Polymeric Waveguides and the Dependence of Excitation Geometry on Coherent Random Lasing
摘要： We present an experimental investigation on the origin of coherent random laser (RL) emission from 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminos-tyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film (DCM-PVA) planar waveguide using various characterization techniques. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of the DCM-PVA thin film confirm the presence of aggregates at dye concentrations greater than 0.08 wt. %. Time correlated single photon counting measurements were perfomed to confirm the presence of dye aggregates in PVA matrix. X-ray diffraction studies reveal the semi-crystalline nature of the DCM-PVA thin film. The optical gain coefficient was determined by the variable stripe length method under 532 nm pulsed laser excitation and was found to be 2.1 cm-1 using the one-dimensional amplifier model for the 0.08 wt. % thin film. The RL emission of the planar waveguide depends on the geometry of the excitation spot. The emission spectrum consists of randomly positioned narrow spectral lines under stripe excitation geometry whereas, a smooth spectrum lacking the narrow peaks is observed under circular spot excitation, both above the lasing thresholds. The origin of weak scattering in DCM-PVA waveguide is attributed to the formation of dye aggregates and inhomogeneities created by the semi-crystalline nature of the film. The RL threshold decreases with an increase of the stripe length due to weak waveguiding in the planar film under stripe excitation. The high optical gain and low lasing thresholds attainable in DCM-PVA waveguides make them a promising candidate for the fabrication of polymer waveguide based photonic devices.

Solar–gliding arc plasma reactor for carbon dioxide decomposition: Design and characterization
摘要： The conversion of low-value feedstock such as carbon dioxide (CO2) into higher-value products using renewable energy, particularly solar, can help fulfill the increasing need for fuels and chemicals while mitigating environmental emissions. A direct solar receiver-reactor fitted with a gliding arc (glidarc) electrical discharge for potentially greater efficiency and continuous operation solar thermochemical synthesis is presented. The nonequilibrium plasma inside the reactor chamber leads to increased solar energy absorption by the gas-phase feedstock, potentially enhancing chemical conversion. Moreover, the reliance on electrical energy to sustain the plasma allows compensating for fluctuations in the solar radiation input. Two solar-glidarc reactor configurations are investigated and evaluated for the decomposition of CO2 at atmospheric pressure conditions, namely: axi-radial (AXR) and reverse-vortex (RVX) flow. The former provides greater control of residence time but presents limited solar-plasma interaction; whereas the latter allows for greater interaction, but requires higher flow rates to confine the plasma, lowering the residence time. Flow paths and residence times are evaluated via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models used to guide reactor design and operation. Evaluation of the plasma volume at different reactor orientations, aimed to mimic in-field operation, show that the AXR configuration leads to a larger plasma volume compared to that by the RVX design. Net-absorption tests, aimed to assess the extent of solar-plasma interaction, showed up to 18% net-absorption of solar radiation for the RVX configuration and 7% for the AXR one, compared to 0% in the absence of plasma. The AXR configuration, despite its lower absorption of solar energy, leads to greater CO2 homogeneous gas-phase decomposition (i.e. in the absence of any catalyst), of up to 4.5%, mainly due to its flexibility in operating with lower residence times. The results indicate solar-plasma direct-receiver reactors provide a compelling approach to solar thermochemical synthesis processes.

Copper particle contamination detection of oil-immersed transformer using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
摘要： The deterioration of transformer oil caused by particle contamination, especially copper particle, seriously affects the safe operation of oil-immersed transformers. Therefore, it is very important for the detection of metal particles in transformer oil. A new method based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was first applied in the transformer oil diagnosis field. By screening out effective spots, the correlation between Cu particle concentration and LIBS signal was obtained after testing a set of oil samples with concentration range from 0.54 to 12.4 μg/g; the calibration curves of Cu I 324.75 nm / CN 358.6 nm and Cu I 327.39 nm /CN 358.6 nm were therefore established. The results shown high linearity, and the determination coefficient R2 of the two calibration curves in range from 0.54 to 3.1 μg/g were superior to 0.99. The limit of detection (LOD) inferred from Cu I 324.75 nm /CN 358.6 nm fitting curve was 0.77 μg/g and met the critical value specified by industry standards. Due to its flexibility, it can be used as a new-type of particle concentration detection method for transformer oil.

Calibration-free elemental analysis combined with high repetition rate laser-ablation spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy
摘要： Calibration-free (CF) method combined with high repetition rate laser-ablation spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy (HRR LA-SIBS) was ?rst utilized to realize elemental analysis of alloy samples. A compact ?ber laser operated at 30 kHz pulse repetition rate was used to ablate the sample and the spectra were recorded with a compact ?ber spectrometer in non-gated signal recording mode. Three standard aluminum alloy samples were analyzed to evaluate the performance of this technique. Median ?ltering method was applied to reduce the contribution of the continuum background to the intensity of the atomic lines. The averaged electron density was determined to be (2.36–2.49) × 1017 cm?3 according to the Stark broadening of four ionic lines. 11,800 K averaged plasma temperature was estimated from the Saha-Boltzmann plots. The plasma could be veri?ed to be in a state close to local thermodynamic equilibrium. The analytical error was < 0.5% for the major element and < 35% for minor elements with > 0.1% concentrations. It was demonstrated that CF method combined with HRR LA-SIBS was possible to realize reliable quantitative elemental analysis for aluminum alloy samples.

Tropospheric NO<sub>2</sub>, SO<sub>2</sub>, and HCHO over the East China Sea, using ship-based MAX-DOAS observations and comparison with OMI and OMPS satellites data
摘要： In this study, ship-based Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements were performed in the Eastern China Sea (ECS) area in June 2017. The tropospheric Slant Column Densities (SCDs) of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and formaldehyde (HCHO) were retrieved from the measured spectra by the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) technique. Using the simple geometric approach, the SCDs of different trace gases observed at 15° elevation angle were adopted to convert into tropospheric Vertical Columns Densities (VCDs). During this campaign, the averaged VCDs of NO2, SO2, and HCHO in the marine environment over ECS area are 6.50 × 1015 molec cm-2, 4.28 × 1015 molec cm-2 and 7.39 × 1015 molec cm-2, respectively. In addition, the ship-based MAX-DOAS trace gases VCDs were compared with satellite observations of Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and Ozone Mapping and Pro?ler Suite (OMPS). The daily OMI NO2 VCDs agree well with ship-based MAX-DOAS measurements showing the correlation coefficient R of 0.83. Besides, the good agreements of SO2 and HCHO VCDs between the OMPS satellite and ship-based MAX-DOAS observations were also found with correlation coefficient R of 0.76 and 0.69. The vertical profiles of these trace gases are achieved from the measured Differential Slant Column Densities (DSCDs) at different elevation angles using optimal estimation method. The retrieved profiles displayed the typical vertical distribution characteristics, which exhibits the low concentrations of < 3, < 3, and < 2 ppbv for NO2, SO2, and HCHO in clean area of the marine boundary layer far from coast of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) continental region. Interestingly, elevated SO2 concentrations can be observed intermittently along the ship routes, which is mainly attributed to the vicinal ship emissions in the view of the MAX-DOAS measurements. Combined with the on-board ozone lidar measurements, the ozone (O3) formation was discussed with the vertical profile of HCHO/NO2 ratio, which is sensitive to the increases of NO2 concentration. This study provided further understanding of the main air pollutants in the marine boundary layer of the ECS area and also benefited to formulate the policies regulating the shipping emissions in such costal area like YRD region.
