A novel electrochemical method for simultaneous measurement of real-time potentials and photocurrent of various photoelectrochemical systems
摘要： Two-electrode configuration is preferably used in practical application of various photoelectrochemical systems, such as green fuel production and cathodic protection. Photo electrodes are extendedly studied but the effects of the dark electrodes on overall performance of PEC systems are not experimentally figured out. To address this issue, herein, a novel electrochemical method achieving simultaneous measurement of photocurrent and real-time potential of the photo electrode and the dark electrode is proposed. With this method, the actual band positions and band bending of the photo electrode under photocurrent going through can be determined correctly. By investigating photoelectrochemical hydrogen production and cathodic protection with ZnO photo anodes, it is revealed that the amplitude of photocurrent is not solely determined by the number of light generated electrons on the photo electrode but also strongly affected by their consuming rate for electrochemical reactions on the dark electrode. These applications demonstrate the practicality, reliability and universality of the proposed method for comprehensive understanding the reactions of various photoelectrochemical systems and eventually for their better development.

Effective utilization of NIR wavelengths for photo-controlled polymerization - penetration through thick barriers and parallel solar syntheses
摘要： This contribution details an efficient and controlled photopolymerization regulated by far-red (λ = 680 nm) and NIR (λ = 780 and 850 nm) light in the presence of aluminum phthalocyanine and aluminum naphthalocyanine. Initiating radicals are generated by photosensitization of peroxides affording an effective strategy that provides controlled polymerizations of a variety of monomers with excellent living characteristics. Critically, long wavelength irradiation provides penetration through thick barriers, affording unprecedented rates of controlled polymerization that can open new and exciting applications. Furthermore, a more optimized approach to performing solar syntheses is presented. By combining the narrow Q-bands of these PCs with others possessing complementary absorptions, layered, independent polymerizations and organic transformations may be performed in parallel under a single broadband emission source such as sunlight.
