Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A novel trigeminal zinc porphyrin sensitizer (T) and two zinc porphyrin monomers (M1 and M2) were successfully designed and synthesized. The spectral, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of the porphyrin dyes were investigated. Compared with M1, the molecule of M2 has an additional aliphatic n-hexyloxyl chain at the meso-position of the porphyrin framework, and such a structure is favorable for the formation of a compact hydrophobic layer at the TiO2 surface and the retardation of the diffusion of I-3(-) ions into the nanoporous TiO2 electrode, resulting in more effective suppression of the charge recombination process and a higher V-oc. Meanwhile, M2 has larger IPCE values than those of M1, leading to the higher J(sc) value. Thus, the DSSC devices based on M2 demonstrated a relatively high power conversion efficiency of 5.77%, with the J(sc), V-oc and ff values of 13.93 mA cm(-2), 732 mV, and 0.566, respectively. Even though dye T has the highest molar absorption coefficients and multiple binding moieties, the corresponding power conversion efficiency is 2.30%, which is lower than those for M1 and M2. These observations may be ascribed to the low efficiency of the electron injection process caused by the isolation of the LUMOs from the anchoring carboxyl groups in addition to the lowest adsorption amount.

-
In: Journal of Materials Chemistry C. - : Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). - 2050-7526 .- 2050-7534. ; 1:44, s. 7409-7417

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Starting from two simple units of anthracene and 2,2'-dipyridylamine, a series of new luminescent compounds 1-8 were designed and synthesized by a combined strategy of changing the connection mode between the two units, extending the conjugation size, and introducing an additional electron donor. Photophysical properties of 1-8 were investigated and discussed on the basis of solvatochromic behaviour, theoretical calculations, crystal structure, and optimized structures. Interestingly, the emission wavelengths of these compounds could be successfully tuned from violet to red both in solutions and the solid-state, and prominent positive solvatochromism was observed for the compounds with a D-p-A framework. Consider compound 7 as an example, it shows peaks at 526 nm and 627 nm in cyclohexane and DMSO, respectively. Meanwhile, the quantum yield was decreased from 0.80 in cyclohexane to 0.12 in DMSO. The introduction of bulky groups was demonstrated to be effective for suppressing the aggregation effect and thus improving the solid state emission quantum yield. These results indicate that the combined structure modulation strategy offers a powerful tool for tuning the emission behaviour. To demonstrate the possibility of practical applications, 2 was employed as the emitting material for the fabrication of deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which showed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.2%. The CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.08) are indicative of excellent blue color purity.

TICT based fluorescence "turn-on" hydrazine probes
- 2014

In: Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical. - : Elsevier BV. - 0925-4005 .- 1873-3077. ; 199, s. 93-100

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Fluorescence "turn-on" probes PC3 and C3 with weak background emissions were developed for hydrazine sensing. The aldehyde and dicyanovinyl groups were used as the recognition units for PD and C3, respectively. Because of low reactivity of the aldehyde group, the fluorescence of PC3 was enhanced by only ca. 93 folds upon addition of a large amount of 1646 eq. hydrazine. In contrast, 0 exhibited fluorescence enhancement by ca. 239 folds upon addition of only 1.3 eq. hydrazine, and thus it showed high sensitivity towards hydrazine, with the detection limit of 7 ppb. In aqueous systems, it also works well with improved selectivity for hydrazine over CN-. The weak fluorescence of PC3 and 0 can be ascribed to twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) processes by the combination of the bulky diphenylamino and 9-anthryl units, which were well demonstrated by theoretical calculations, viscosity dependent fluorescence, and fluorescence decay behaviour. Addition of hydrazine induced the disappearance of the TICT deactivation pathway, resulting in the observed fluorescence enhancement. It can be concluded that the combination of the bulky diphenylamino and 9-anthryl units is an effective approach for developing fluorescence turn-on hydrazine probes based on the TICT mechanism.

- There is a need for analytical methods capable of monitoring blood antibiotic levels in real time. Here we present a method for quantifying antibiotic levels in whole blood that does not require any sample pretreatment. The tests employ the enzyme penicillinase to assay for penicillin G, penicillin V and ampicillin using a flow-injected biosensor, the Enzyme Thermistor. Optimal flow rates, sample volumes and pH were determined to be 0.5mL/min, 100L and 7.0, respectively. Analysis of the antibiotics diluted in buffer gave a linear range of 0.17-5.0mM. Calibration curves prepared using blood spiked with the antibiotics gave a linear range of 0.17-2.0mM. Linear regression values for all of the calibration curves were 0.998 or higher. Assay cycle time was 5min. The relative standard deviation value for 100 determinations of a mock blood sample spiked with penicillin G was 6.71%. Despite the elimination of sample pretreatment, no detectable clogging or signal drift was observed. The assay provides a fast, simple, reliable analytical method for determining antibiotic concentrations in blood without the need for any sample pretreatment. This is an important first step towards developing a device capable of real-time monitoring of antibiotic levels in whole blood. The technology has the potential to significantly improve the outcomes of patients undergoing critical care.

- Detection of analytes in complex biological samples, such as milk and blood, normally requires sample pretreatment. These pretreatment regimes reduce assay throughput and increase testing costs. Technologies that make it possible to eliminate sample pretreatment are of great industrial interest. Here we report the development of a dual-signal flow injected analysis device which eliminates the need for sample pretreatment. The device employs thermal traducers to measure the signal from an enzyme and a reference column. This makes it possible to independently monitor and correct for non-specifically generated heat, thereby eliminating the need for sample pretreatment. The ability of the dual-signal device to determine urea and lactate in milk samples without any prior treatment was evaluated. The spiked milk samples, the urea assay had a linear range from 0.1 to 50mM (R=0.996), and the lactate assay had a linear range from 0.025 to 5.0mM (R=0.9998). The linear regression values for urea and lactate for 0.5%, 1.5% and 3.0% fat milk were at least 0.990. The dual-signal design improves assay reproducibility, accuracy and sensitivity. Addition benefits are shorter assay times and lowers costs, as well as reducing equipment and training requirements. The potential application of the technology for multi-analyte analysis in point of care and decentralized diagnostic testing in healthcare, agriculture and environmental areas is discussed.

Printable highly conductive conjugated polymer sensitized ZnO NCs as cathode interfacial layer for efficient polymer solar cells
- 2014

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report a facile way to produce printable highly conductive cathode interfacial layer (CIL) for efficient polymer solar cells (PSCs) by sensitizing ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) with a blue fluorescent conjugated polymer, poly(9, 9-bis-(6-diethoxylphosphorylhexyl) fluorene) (PFEP). Herein, PFEP plays dual distinctive roles in the composite. Firstly, PFEP chains can effectively block the aggregation of ZnO NCs, leading to uniform and smooth film during solution processing via assembly on ZnO NC surfaces through their pending phosphonate groups. Secondly, PFEP can greatly improve the conductivity of ZnO NCs by charge transfer doping, that is the charge transfer from the sensitizer driven by electron-chemical potential equilibrium, which could be even more pronounced under light illumination because of light excitation of PFEP sensitizer. The increased conductivity in ZnO-PFEP layer renders more efficient electron transport and extraction compared to pristine ZnO layer. This ZnO-PFEP CIL was successfully applied to PSCs based on three polymer donor systems with different band-gaps, and efficiency enhancements from 44 to 70% were observed compared to those PSCs with pristine ZnO CIL. The highest efficiency of 7.56% was achieved in P(IID-DTC):PC70BM-based PSCs by using ZnO-PFEP film as CIL. Moreover, the enhanced conductivity due to the charge-transfer doping effect allows thick ZnO-PFEP film to be used as CIL in high-performance PSCs. Both the high conductivity and good film-forming properties of ZnO-PFEP CIL are favorable for large-scale printable PSCs, which is also verified by high-efficiency PSCs with ZnO-PFEP CIL fabricated using doctor-blading, a large-scale processing technique. The work provides an efficient printable cathode interfacial material for efficient PSCs.
