Fluorescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) were synthesized in oxidized and reduced forms analyzed at the single-particle level. Images of single CNDs different excitation energies revealed significant heterogeneity lower energy trap sites between particles. We observed that a high percentage CND particles transitioned multiple fluorescence intensity levels indicative multichromophoric systems. Despite this behavior, individual exhibit single-step photobleaching transient blinking to background...
Larger dopants with high electron affinities are found to yield increased electrical conductivities and power factors at lower doping concentrations.
This paper is focused on how the spectroscopic properties of conjugated polymers evolve in size range between single polymer chains and bulk material. The measurements used single-particle spectroscopy techniques include both static dynamic measurements. main observation this work that MEH-PPV rapidly as a function nanoparticle achieve bulk-like for nanoparticles greater than 10 nm size. Nanoparticles were assembled by reprecipitation technique characterized fluorescence emission...
UV- and blue-emitting graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were synthesized from carbon nano-onions compared for metal ion sensing.
Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) have promising applications in catalysis and photoluminescence, but many existing synthetic methods require uses of harsh chemicals, long reaction times, complicated purification steps poor control over the surface functional groups. Laser ablation liquid (LAL) is a alternative method to prepare nanomaterials because its fast production, use fewer simple purification, byproducts product by precise tuning laser parameters. We report LAL produce...
The optical properties of top-down synthesized oxidized graphene quantum dots (ox-GQDs) and nitrogen-incorporating (N-GQDs) along a range hydrothermal treatment temperatures were observed.
Valorization of lignin to high-value chemicals and products along with biofuel production is generally acknowledged as a technology platform that could significantly improve the economic viability biorefinery operations. With growing demand for electrical energy storage materials, lignin-derived activated carbon (AC) materials have received increasing attention in recent years. However, there an apparent gap our understanding impact precursors (i.e., structure, composition inter-unit...
Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are attractive materials for optoelectronics. However, further improvements in stability, reproducibility, and photoluminescence quantum yield (ΦPL) essential enabling future applications. Inadequate surface passivation is a major cause of instability, irreproducibility, less than unity ΦPL. Herein, we probe the influence multiple ligand binding groups on colloidal stability ΦPL CsPbBr3 (NCs). We find that post-synthetic treatment with dodecanethiol...
Abstract Photocatalytic water splitting was performed on TiO 2 and metal‐containing (MTiO ) catalysts under UV light irradiation. added with various metals of different work functions, namely, Pt (5.93 eV), Pd (5.60 Cu (5.10 Ru (4.71 Ag (4.26 eV). The hydrogen production found to increase linearly increasing metal function. rate charge recombination increases decreasing function difference between the . were highly efficient co‐catalysts for generation from due their larger upward‐bent band...

The emissive properties of both doped and nondoped graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with sizes ranging from 3 to 11 nm were analyzed at the single particle level. Both GQDs are a composite particles exhibiting green, red, or NIR fluorescence on excitation 488, 561, 640 nm, respectively. Nitrogen-doped (N-GQDs) diameters 3.4 5.2 show larger proportion emission as compared particles. Doping also resulted in changes photostability intermittency seen GQD While milliseconds seconds time scale...
Mesoporous TiO2 films treated with N2/argon plasma were studied for ultraviolet and visible-light-induced photocatalytic water oxidation activity. Compared to pristine films, plasma-treated showed remarkable enhancement of photocurrents (up 80–240 times) in both light visible light, greatly surpassing enhancements previously reported the literature. The cubic-ordered mesoporous thin prepared by a surfactant-templated sol–gel method plasma, an approach hypothesized capitalize on high degree...
Ruthenium(II) complexes developed for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are almost exclusively tris-bidentate systems with C2 or D3 symmetry. This is due to the fact that this structural framework commonly produces long-lived excited states, which, in turn, allow generation of large amounts singlet oxygen (1O2) and other reactive species. Complexes containing tridentate ligands would be advantageous biological applications as they generally achiral (D2d C2v symmetry), which eliminates possibility...
