A highly fluorescent electrofluorochromic gel with quantum yields as high 67% is prepared by incorporating the thienoviologen fluorophore 4,4′‐(2,2′‐bithiophene‐5,5′‐diyl) bis (1‐nonylpridinium)bistriflimide into a polymeric matrix. The emission spectrum of at low percentages shows strong band 530 nm. new intense fluorescence 630 nm can be induced aggregation. Single layer devices were readily sandwiching polymer gels between two indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. intensity easily modulated...
Mercury pollution poses a global health threat due to its high toxicity, especially in seafood where it accumulates through various pathways. Developing effective and affordable technologies for mercury removal from water is crucial. Adsorption stands out as promising method, but creating low-cost materials with selectivity capacity adsorption challenging. Here we show sustainable method synthesize sulfhydrylated cellulose ethylene sulfide functionalities bonded glucose units....
Functional electrochromic materials that allow energy modulation both in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral ranges are attracting increasing interest for fundamental scientific aspects related to their spectroelectrochemistry technological applications. Vis-NIR dimmable windows based on these very promising tunable shading, thus allowing lighting heat use saving. Organic mixed valence compounds (MVs) an interesting class of small molecules with NIR electrochromism arising from...
The aim of this study is to examine the efficiency biobased Spanish broom (SB) surface modified cellulose fibers remove bisphenol A (BPA), a well-known endocrine disruptor, from water. brooms are flowering plants, which native and abundant Mediterranean regions. functionalized (FF) were found have best adsorption at pH 5, due optimal hydrophobic interaction between FF fiber BPA. Adsorption kinetics BPA was fit well pseudo-second order reaction. Equilibrium isotherm data fitted by Langmuir...
Abstract The phenomenon of electrofluorochromism occurs whenever the fluorescence a material can be reversibly modulated, both in terms intensity and color change, through application an electrical stimulus. Electrofluorochromic (EFC) materials have gained great interest last decade, since they offer access to development different optoelectronic devices. Great efforts been made achieve highly performing EFC either as small organic molecules or polymers. A critical overview most recent...
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the hydrolase α-galactosidase A (α-GalA) that leads to intra-lysosomal accumulation globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in various organ systems. As consequence, multisystems develops, culminating stroke, progressive renal and cardiac dysfunction. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) offers specific treatment for patients affected FD, though monitoring hindered lack surrogate markers response. Remarkably, due high...
Fluorescent light modulation by small electric potentials has gained huge interest in the past few years. This phenomenon, called electrofluorochromism, is of utmost importance for applications optoelectronic devices. Huge efforts are being addressed to developing electrofluorochromic systems with improved performances. One most critical issue their low cyclability, which hampers widespread use. It mostly depends on intrinsic reversibility electroactive/fluorophore molecular system and...
Porous carbon materials are currently subjected to strong research efforts mainly due their excellent performances in energy storage devices. A sustainable process obtain them is hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), which the decomposition of biomass precursors generates solid products called hydrochars, together with liquid and gaseous products. Hydrochars have a high C content rich oxygen-containing functional groups, important for subsequent activation. Orange pomace orange peels considered...
Abstract Electrochromism/electrofluorochromism is the reversible tuning of absorption/photoluminescence by redox processes. Dual functional electrochromic/electrofluorochromic materials can be exploited in, for example, smart windows, encryption/anticounterfeiting technologies, displays, and biomedical sensors. While electrofluorochromic showing tunable fluorescence intensity are relatively widespread, those with color emission not. Moreover, in near‐infrared (NIR) range seldom encountered....
Mercury is a global pollutant, very dangerous for the aquatic ecosystems and human health. The sources of mercury in environment are either anthropogenic or natural. However, historical mining activities current activities, have led to significant increase its level environment. Its removal by efficient cost-effective technologies, utmost importance order help restore it back towards natural levels. Here we show that novel cellulose citrate biopolymer, produced reaction citric acid, an...
