In this study, nitrobenzene (NB) as typical refractory organic pollutants was effectively degraded by a new green approach, which was achieved by the chemical effect of natural organic matters (NOMs) under solar illumination as a potential natural degradation process. 4-hydroxycoumarin (4HC), which is natural compound and can be extracted from many plants, was found as an efficient photosensitizer to promote the photoreduction of NB to 4-aminophenol under the solar illumination. The reaction products were definitely identified by LC-MS/MS and 1 H NMR. The response spectrum of 4HC excited state (4H-chromene-2,4-diol radical, S 1 ) as key intermediate was also obtained by transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) measurements, which showed that the decay time of S 1 was around 250 ps. Then, the measurements of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) confirmed the existence of OH. As a result, the reaction mechanism between 4HC and NB was proposed. In addition, the influence parameters such as light sources, gas surroundings, solvents, pH values were investigated to further reveal the reaction process.

The synthesis and characterization of a new photocleavable crosslinker is presented here. Dual stimuli-responsive P(VCL- co -NHMA) microgels were prepared by precipitation polymerization of vinylcaprolactam (VCL) with N -hydroxymethyl acrylamide (NHMA) and the new crosslinker. The microgels had distinct temperature sensitivity as observed in the case of PVCL-based particles and their volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) shifted to higher temperature with increasing NHMA content. Photolytic degradation experiments were investigated by irradiation with UV light, which led to microgel disintegration caused by cleavage of the photolabile crosslinking points. The degradation behavior of the microgels was conducted with respect to degradation rates by means of the relative turbidity changes. Hence, the microgels could totally degrade into short linear polymers by UV light, thus representing a great potential as new light and temperature dual responsive nanoscale materials. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Smart electrochromic (EC) glasses with visible light modulation have attracted considerable attention due to their unique advantages, but EC sunglasses with anti-blue-ray function have not yet been reported. Herein, a series of wide-bandgap electrochromic conjugated polymers P2–P4 based on 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) and naphthalene units were designed and synthesized using direct arylation polymerization. Among them, polymers P2 exhibit a satisfactory yellow hue and outstanding overall electrochromic performances. By tuning the intramolecular torsion between ProDOT and naphthalene units in the polymer structure, the absorption spectra of polymers P3 were entirely shifted to the high-energy violet-blue spectra region relative to the anti-blue-ray function. New dual conjugated polymer electrochromic devices based on P3 and black-to-transmissive electrochromic polymer were fabricated, which exhibited the fast transformation between black and anti-blue-ray transmissive color with a switching time of < 5.0 s, high contrast of 49% at 400–700 nm and a high coloring efficiency of 470.8 cm 2 /C. Moreover, an EC prototype sunglasses device with an anti-blue-ray function was fabricated to demonstrate the practical suitability based on the dual conjugated polymer ECDs. This work contributes to the application of EC technology to the smart glasses field.

In this study, a metal-cladding directly defined active waveguide technique is proposed. Optical waveguide amplifiers and thermo-optic (TO) waveguide switches based on erbium-containing polymer are designed and fabricated using this technique. The Er organic complexes containing polymeric reactivity groups are synthesized and investigated by free radical copolymerization. Optical characteristics and thermal stabilities of the active polymer are analyzed. Relative optical gain of the amplifier at 1530 nm is obtained as 3.6 dB. The rise and fall response time of the TO switch applied by 300 Hz square-wave voltage is measured as 511.7 μs and 341.5 μs, respectively. The power-time product is 12.5 mW ms and the extinction ratio is about 20 dB. The technique is very suitable for realizing large-scale optoelectronic integrated circuits.

Perovskites are promising light emitters that can cover broad-range emissions over the entire visible spectrum. However, few studies have focused on uncommon wavebands, such as far-red emission of 700–750 nm that has broad applications in biology, horticulture lighting, optogenetics, etc. Here, a strategy is demonstrated to achieve high-performance far-red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) through antisolvent engineering. First, 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole-2-yl) benzene (TPBi) is introduced into n-i-p perovskite matrix not only to passivate the defects but also to balance carrier mobility as well as adjust the energy level alignment between perovskite and the electron transport layer. The n-type TPBi can prevent hole carriers’ movements in perovskite light emitters and enhance electron injection. Furthermore, the incorporation of TPBi uplifts the Fermi energy level of perovskites by 0.32 eV as well as diminishes the conduction band offset between zinc oxide (ZnO) and the perovskite emitters, hence alleviating the accumulation of charges at the interface. Consequently, the PeLEDs with TPBi-modified perovskite emitters show an invariable far-red emission peak at around 735 nm with a champion external quantum efficiency of 14.22%. This work makes up the far-red emission of perovskite light-emitting devices and boosts latent capacity of PeLEDs for future application.

We demonstrate all-perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) with white emission on the basis of simultaneously solving a couple of issues including the ion exchanges between different perovskites, solvent incompatibility in the solution process of stacking different perovskites and carrier transport layers, as well as the energy level matching between each layer in the whole device. The PeLEDs are built with a two-dimensional (CH3CH2CH2NH3)2CsPb2I7 perovskite that emits red light, CsPb(Br,Cl)3 quantum dots that emit a cyan color, and an interlayer composed of bis(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole)phenylphosphine oxide (BIPO) and poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenyl-amine) (Poly-TPD). The interlayer is designed to realize desirable white electroluminescence by tuning the electron and hole transportation and distribution in-between multilayers. With this PeLED configuration, we achieve the typical white light with chromaticity coordinates of (0.32, 0.32) in Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage (CIE) 1931 color space diagram and steady CIE coordinates in a wide range of driving current densities (from 2.94 to 59.29 mA/cm2). Consequently, our work, as the starting point for future research of all-perovskite white PeLEDs, will contribute to the future applications of PeLEDs in lighting and display. In addition, we believe that the proposed material and all-perovskite concept will leverage the design and development of more perovskite-based devices.

Chitosan is an abundant natural polysaccharide that contains a lot of amino and hydroxyl groups. It possesses great potential for biomedical applications owing to its low toxicity, biodegradability and low cost. Herein, a novel chitosan-based fluorescent copolymer (WS-CS-TPA) was designed and synthesized via nucleophilic substitution of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP), water-soluble chitosan (WS-CS) and an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogen (AIEgen) triphenylamine derivative (TPA-NH 2 ). Under ultrasonic treatment, 1.16 g TPA-NH 2 and 1.1 g WS-CS can be conjugated by 0.7 g HCCP at room temperature. The obtained copolymer shows amphiphilic property and could assemble into nanoparticles with size about 100 nm. After self-assembly, TPA-NH 2 was aggregated in the core, thus exhibiting superb AIE feature with intense green fluorescence emission in aqueous media. On the other hand, hydrophilic WS-CS was coated on the surface of nanoparticles and endowed their high water dispersibility. Results from preliminary biological assays suggested that WS-CS-TPA can be internalized by cells and exhibits low cytotoxicity, suggesting their great potential for biological imaging and intracellular drug delivery.

Near-infrared (NIR)-emitting phosphors with high quantum efficiency and thermal stability are crucial to NIR pc-LEDs. Garnet-structured (GdLuCa)(Al4–zSiCrz)O12 (z = 0.01–0.2) and (Gd2–xLuCax)(Al4.95–xSixCr0.05)O12 (x = 0.2–1.0) new phosphors with promising NIR luminescence under blue light excitation were designed and fabricated by a solid-state reaction in this work. It was analyzed that the Ca2+, Cr3+, and Si4+ ions would replace Gd3+ in [GdO8], Al1 in [Al1O6], and Al2 in [Al2O4], respectively, and the optimal Cr3+ content is z = 0.05, above which concentration quenching would occur via an electric dipole–dipole interaction. Increasing Ca2+/Si4+ substitution up to x = 1.0 led to luminescence enhancement by a factor of up to 1.85 and internal/external quantum efficiency (%) increment from ∼25.9/10.7 to 63.4/27.5, and all of the phosphors showed excellent thermal stability (I423 K/I298 K ≥ 87.6%). The luminescence properties of Cr3+ were discussed in detail through systematic investigation of the effects of Cr3+ and Ca2+/Si4+ contents on the crystal structure, local coordination, and crystal field. With the NIR pc-LED device integrated from the optimal phosphor (x = 1.0) and a blue LED chip, electroluminescence manifested potential applications in night vision and medical diagnosis.

Visible light is ubiquitous and safer than ultraviolet light; however, synthesizing ultralong-lifetime room temperature phosphorescent (URTP) carbon dots (CDs) with visible-light excitation remains a formidable challenge. Herein, an easy and fast method for synthesizing visible-light-excited URTP CDs is devised. The synthesized CDs have URTP lifetime of 1.51 s which is a relatively long life RTP lifetime ever reported. Furthermore, it is revealed that the dense core of CDs, the formation of long-chain polymers on the surface, and the presence of hydrogen bond skeleton play a crucial role in the production of URTP. Also, the introduction of the N element is a critical factor in the URTP synthesis as it promotes the n–π* transition and facilitates intersystem crossing (ISC) such that the triplet state is filled with effective excitons. Notably, the CDs demonstrate URTP properties under the excitation of 365 UV light and exhibit URTP under the excitation of visible light. This is a rare report of visible-light-excited URTP based on CDs. Considering this excellent property, URTP CDs may be applied in the field of anticounterfeiting. These findings may broaden the path for the development of visible-light-excited URTP materials and their applications.

Transition metal thiophosphates (MTPs) are a group of emerging van der Waals materials with widely tunable band gaps. In the MTP family, CdPSe3 is demonstrated to possess a wide energy band gap and high carrier mobility, making it a potential candidate in optoelectronic applications. Here, we reported photoelectric response behaviors of both CdPSe3- and CdPSe3/MoS2-based photodetectors (noted as CPS and CM, respectively); these showed prominent photoelectric performances, and the latter proved to be significantly superior to the former. These devices exhibited ultralow dark current at a magnitude order of 10–12 A and fine cycle and air stabilities. Compared with CPS, CM demonstrated the highest responsivity (91.12 mA/W) and detectivity (1.74 × 1011 Jones) at 5 V under 425 nm light illumination. Besides, CM showed self-powered photoelectric responses at zero bias, which was attributed to the improved separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers by the built-in electric field at the interface of the p–n junction. This work proves a prospect for the CM device in portable, self-powered optoelectronic device applications.

High-performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are of great scientific and technological importance due to their potential large-scale industrial applications. Introducing semiconductor quantum dots has been proven to be an effective way to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OPVs. In this paper, we report a novel approach to fabricate atomically thin antimonene quantum sheets (AMQSs) possessing a uniform size (≈2.2 nm) via imidazolium ionic liquid-assisted exfoliation. In this method, the yield of AMQSs (1.1 mg mL−1) has been increased by nearly two orders of magnitude compared with that of previously reported methods. Furthermore, upon adding AMQSs into the light absorber in OPVs, the optimal device with 1.0 mg mL−1 AMQSs shows the highest PCE of 9.75%, resulting in over 25% enhancement in PCE compared to that of the reference device. It also leads to a noticeable enhancement in the short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 16.7% and the fill factor (FF) of 8.4%. The increased PCE is mainly due to the two-dimensional electronic structure of AMQSs that can enhance the light absorption, assist exciton dissociation and reduce charge recombination of OPVs. This work provides a new avenue toward mass production of two-dimensional quantum sheets and points to a new strategy for highly efficient OPVs.

In this work, we demonstrated tunable structured AlGaN-based nanoporous (NP) distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) with high-reflectivity through one-step vertical-lateral electrochemical etching (ECE). The aperture of nanopores in the doping layer and the size and density of V-pits on the surface of NP-DBRs can be tuned by controlling the etching bias. Furthermore, by further tuning the thickness of alternating layers, we achieved high reflectivity of NP-DBRs at multiple center wavelengths within the wavelength range from 280 to 800 nm. To explore its potential applications, MoS 2 with a photoluminescence (PL) emission in the red light region was grown for the first time on the NP-DBRs. Due to the light localized effect of surface V-pits and the high reflectivity of the bottom DBRs , the PL intensity of MoS 2 was significantly enhanced by a factor of 37.3 compared to the region without NP-DBRs. The PL enhancement of MoS 2 on porous AlGaN and different periodic NP-DBRs further validated the PL enhancement mechanism. The corresponding theoretical simulations also revealed that the PL enhancement should be attributed to the combined effect of enhanced light absorption and NP-DBRs induced emission interference. The fabricated AlGaN-based NP-DBRs provide a new approach for improving the quantum efficiency of two-dimensional layered materials, which holds significant importance for advancing the development of miniaturized and integrated 2D/3D heterogeneous structure systems in the field of optoelectronics.
