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.

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...

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...

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...
