A self-calibrating bipartite viscosity sensor 1 for cellular mitochondria, composed of coumarin and boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) with a rigid phenyl spacer mitochondria-targeting unit, was synthesized. The showed direct linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity ratio BODIPY to or lifetime media viscosity, which allowed us determine average mitochondrial in living HeLa cells as ca. 62 cP (cp). Upon treatment an ionophore, monensin, nystatin, observed increase 110 cP.
A new phosphorescent zinc sensor (ZIrF) was constructed, based on an Ir(III) complex bearing two 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine (dfppy) cyclometalating ligands and a neutral 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand. zinc-specific di(2-picolyl)amine (DPA) receptor introduced at the 4-position of phen ligand via methylene linker. The cationic exhibited dual phosphorescence bands in CH(3)CN solutions originating from blue yellow emission dfppy ligands, respectively. Zinc coordination selectively...
Polymeric organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells are promising candidates for low-cost, high-performance energy sources due to their low material and processing costs, flexibility, ease of manufacturing by solution processes. However, power-conversion efficiency (PCE) has impeded the development OPV cells. The PCE in solar been attributed carrier mobility, which is related transport length charge carriers within active layers. Graphene can be an ideal assisting layer its excellent charger thermal...
Despite the promising photofunctionalities, phosphorescent probes have been examined only to a limited extent, and molecular features that provide convenient handles for controlling phosphorescence response yet be identified.

Abstract Oxygen vacancies (OVs) are a mixed blessing for the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation performance of monoclinic tungsten trioxide (m‐WO 3 ) photoanodes. Although it is widely accepted that moderate concentration OVs beneficial PEC m‐WO photoanodes, this argument assumes uniform distribution throughout crystal. In case, only overall needs to be considered. However, spatial non‐uniformity OV defects in photoanodes has not been thoroughly examined. study, by employing nanorod...

The as-prepared Nb-HT/Co(OH)x thin-film exhibited a photocurrent density 1.78 mA cm–2 at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which is 1.7-fold higher than that Bare-Fe2O3 photoanode. dual effect Nb-doping deposition...
Ru–FeOOH and FeNi(OH) x dual-layer cocatalysts passivated the recombination surface states, resulting in Fermi level de-pinning effect, while tailoring intermediate states for effective hole transfer to electrolyte.
We examine the effects of chlorine-passivation Cd surface atoms on photocatalytic H2O reduction by CdSe NCs. Transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that Cl passivation removes electron trap states in NCs, which is also reflected an increase photoluminescence quantum yield, e.g., from 9 to 22% after treatment. Size-tunable energy NCs enable systematic investigation defects and their effect hydrogen generation rate. It turns out that, depending band-edge levels, may enhance or inhibit...

Amorphous Zn2SnO4 (am-ZTO) films with extreme surface uniformity, high electron mobility, and fewer charge traps were successfully developed by controlling the concentrations of 2-methoxyethanol solutions containing 2:1 stoichiometric ratio Zn to Sn. For first time, we demonstrate that solution-processed am-ZTO thin are highly efficient as an electron-selective layer (ESL) for mixed perovskite solar cells (PSCs). When ESLs combined bandgap-tuned FAMAPbI3 perovskites, a champion efficiency...
