Protective potentials of far-infrared ray against neuropsychotoxic conditions
摘要： Compelling evidence suggests that far-infrared ray (FIR) possesses beneficial effects on emotional disorders. However, the underlying mechanism conveyed by FIR remains unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that exposure to FIR induces antioxidant potentials via up-regulation of glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-1 gene. The antioxidant potentials might be important for the modulation on the neuropsychotoxic conditions. Exposure to FIR protects from methamphetamine (MA)-induced memory impairments via phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 signaling by positive modulation of protein kinase C δ (PKCδ), M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M1 mAChR), and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcription factor. In addition, exposure to FIR positively modulates MA-induced behavioral sensitization via attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction by down-regulation of dopamine D1 receptor. In this mini-review, we have discussed with the protective potentials mediated by FIR against MA-induced psychotoxic burdens.

Photoregeneration of Biomimetic Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Analogues via a Dye-Sensitized Approach
摘要： Two-step photochemical reduction of an acridinium-based cation 2O+ to the corresponding anion 2O? was investigated using a dye-sensitized approach involving 2O+?COOH attached to the surface of a wide-bandgap semiconductor, p-NiO. The cation 2O+ and corresponding one-electron reduced radical form, 2O? were synthesized and characterized using steady-state UV/vis and electron paramagnectic resonance spectroscopy. The thermodynamics for the photoinduced hole injection from 2O+ and 2O? were evaluated and found to be favorable. Subsequent femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy was utilized to evaluate the photoinduced hole injection into NiO, starting from 2O+?COOH/NiO and 2O??COOH/NiO samples. The excitation of 2O+?COOH at 620 nm initiated fast (2.8 ps) hole injection into NiO. However, 90% of the charge-separated population recombined within ～40 ps, while ～10% of the charge-separated population exhibited lifetimes longer than the time scale of our instrument (1.6 ns). In the case of 2O??COOH/NiO, the light absorption occurs predominantly by NiO (2O??COOH absorbs at 310 nm) and is associated with the electron transfer from the conduction band of NiO to the radical. The charge-separated state in this case appears to be long-lived, based on the slow (ns) growth of the trapped carriers formed on the NiO surface. The results of this work indicate that the photochemical reduction of 2O+ to the corresponding hydride form (2OH) can be achieved, opening the possibility of using such a dye-sensitized approach for regeneration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analogues in enzymatic and chemical catalysis.

Quantum Dot-Based Sensitization System for Boosted Photon Absorption and Enhanced Second Near-Infrared Luminescence of Lanthanide-Doped Nanoparticle
摘要： Efficient energy transfer is a promising strategy in overcoming the inherent limits of narrow band and weak absorption of lanthanide ions due to the nature of 4f-4f transitions. Herein, we introduce a nanoparticle-sensitized nanoparticle system where a near-infrared-emitting quantum dot (QD) is used as a sensitizer with broadband photon absorption for lanthanide-doped nanoparticle (LNP) to generate second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission. The NIR-II luminescence of Er3+-doped LNP by Ag2S QD sensitization displays an enhancement of ~17-fold in intensity and ~10-fold in brightness over bare LNP because of increased absorptivity and overall broadening of the absorption spectrum of LNP. Furthermore, QD-sensitized LNP system exhibits excellent photostability, and is able to improve the signal to noise ratio of tumor NIR-II imaging via in situ crosslinking of QD and LNP. The QD-sensitized LNP system for luminescence enhancement opens a potential avenue for efficient energy transfer in complex nanoparticle-nanoparticle systems.

High efficiency???low efficiency roll-off and long lifetime fluorescent white organic light-emitting diodes based on strategic management of triplet excitons via triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion and phosphor sensitization
摘要： The simultaneous realization of high efficiency, low efficiency roll-off, long lifetime and stable electroluminescence (EL) spectra in fluorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) is still a huge challenge. Here, we used a triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion (TTA-UC) material as blue emission layer and phosphor sensitized fluorescent emitter as red emission layer and introduced a bipolar interlayer between them to fabricate high efficiency, low efficiency roll-off and long lifetime fluorescent WOLEDs. It is clearly seen that the bipolar interlayer not only efficiently distributed the singlet and triplet excitons, but also significantly stabilized the EL spectra. Thus, the resulting two-color fluorescent WOLEDs exhibited the maximum current efficiency (CE), power efficiency (PE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 26.9 cd A-1, 22.3 lm W-1 and 12.8%, and remained 25.9 cd A-1, 16.9 lm W-1 and 12.1% at the luminance of 1000 cd m-2 and 23.1 cd A-1, 10.6 lm W-1 and 10.7% at the luminance of 10000 cd m-2, respectively, and the operational lifetime LT50 (50% decay, initial luminance of 1000 cd m-2) was also up to 984 h. It can be seen that these devices also showed stable EL spectra with Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage (CIE) of (0.51, 0.41) from 1000 cd m-2 to 5000 cd m-2 luminance. Furthermore, the fabricated three-color fluorescent WOLEDs by further introducing a green fluorescent emitter, also showed high efficiencies of 15.5 cd A-1, 13.0 lm W-1 and 8.1% and stable EL spectra with CIE of (0.43, 0.36) form 1000 cd m-2 to 5000 cd m-2 luminance. More importantly, their CE and EQE exhibited an increasing tendency with the luminance, a fully negligible efficiency roll-off. This design strategy provides a potential route towards high performance fluorescent WOLEDs.

Amplified photoelectrochemical immunoassay for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 724 based on dye sensitization of the semiconductor composite C3N4-MoS2
摘要： The authors describe an amplified photoelectrochemical immunoassay for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724). The method employs a C3N4-MoS2 semiconductor as the photoelectric conversion layer. The nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and UV-vis diffuse reflectometry. The dye eosin Y was encapsulated into CaCO3 nanospheres which then were used as labels for antibody against CA724. In addition, Fe3O4 nanospheres were employed as magnetic platform for constructing photoelectrochemical sandwich immunoassay. The CaCO3 nanospheres can be dissolved with aid of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the carried eosin Y in CaCO3 is released. The released dyes sensitizes the C3N4-MoS2 semiconductor, which induces photocurrent amplification. Under optimal conditions and at a typical working voltage of 0 V (vs. SCE), the photocurrent increases linearly in the range of 0.05 mU mL?1 to 500 mU mL?1 of CA724, with a 0.02 mU mL?1 detection limit.

Quantitative Sensitization Efficiencies in NIR-Emissive Homoleptic Ln(III) Complexes Using 2-(5-Methylpyridin-2-yl)-8-hydroxyquinoline
摘要： A series of lanthanide complexes [Ln(MPQ)3] (Ln = Nd, Gd, Er, Yb, Lu) using a monoanionic tridentate methylpyridyl-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline ligand (MPHQ = 2-(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)-8-hydroxyquinoline) have been prepared and characterized using elemental analysis (CHN), single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), and 1H NMR spectroscopy. This ligand forms homoleptic charge-neutral lanthanide complexes with three coordinated ligands arranged in an 'up?up?down' fashion around the metal center. The photophysical properties of the Nd, Er, and Yb complexes were investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy, with the latter species displaying efficient sensitization in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) region and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) as high as 1.0% in CH2Cl2 solution. The intersystem crossing and energy-transfer processes involved in the antenna effect were further investigated using transient absorption techniques, which revealed essentially quantitative sensitization efficiencies for the NIR-emitting cations.

Investigation of the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells utilizing 9,9'-bianthracene-based dyes as a co-sensitizer
摘要： In this paper, we report two interesting metal-free organic co-sensitizers, which use fluorene or carbazole as the donor scaffold and are linked to cyanoacrylic acid via a 9,9′-bianthrylene π-spacer. These organic dyes have a particular twisted structure, and their absorption spectra are complementary to the leading dye MK–3. We investigated the photophysical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of these two co-sensitizers in detail. Interestingly, when the same concentration of MK–3 dye was co-sensitized with different concentrations of LD2, the performance of the devices did not show a linear change, and the best photovoltaic performance was obtained with sensitized device made with 0.2 mM MK–3 and 0.04 mM LD2. It displayed the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.47 % with short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 14.54 mA cm?2, open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.653 V and fill factor (FF) of 0.681. These results provide a reference for the optimization of the device by the method of co-sensitization; that is, selecting a suitable co-sensitizer at a suitable concentration may be one of the crucial factors.

Effect of co-sensitization of InSb quantum dots on enhancing the photoconversion efficiency of CdS based quantum dot sensitized solar cells
摘要： The effect of co-sensitization of CdS and InSb Quantum Dots (QDs) on the enhancement of efficiency of Quantum Dots Sensitized Solar Cells (QDSSCs) has been investigated. InSb is synthesized by a facile solvothermal method using indium metal particles and antimony trichloride as precursors. From TEM images the average particle size of InSb was found to be less than 25 nm. The I–V data showed photoconversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.8% using InSb QDs as a sensitizer layer for QDSSC. However, co-sensitization of InSb QDs and CdS QDs on the TiO2 photoanode in QDSSCs showed an enhanced PCE of 4.94% compared to that of CdS sensitized solar cells (3.52%). The InSb QD layer broadens the light absorption range with reduced spectral overlap causing an improvement in light harvesting along with suppression of surface defects which reduced the recombination losses. As a result, co-sensitized TiO2/CdS/InSb QDSSC exhibits a greatly improved PCE of 4.94%, which is 40% higher than that of TiO2/CdS (3.52%) based QDSSCs due to improved light absorption with low recombination losses.

Performance enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cells via co-sensitization of ruthenium (II) based N749 dye and organic sensitizer RK1
摘要： The aim of the reported study is to enhance the photovoltaic performance of a dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using co-sensitization approach and investigate how the concentration of an organic co-sensitizer influence the overall efficiency of the fabricated DSSCs. The overall efficiency of the fabricated DSSC with co-sensitization approach using a ruthenium (II) based dye, N749, and an organic sensitizer, RK1, is 8.15%. The solar cells were evaluated using UV–Vis spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), incident photon to electron conversion efficiency (IPCE), and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The concentration of the organic co-sensitizer has a strong effect on the performance of the DSSC. An optimized solar cell fabricated with a dye solution of 0.2 mM RK1 and 0.3 mM N749 yielded a Jsc (mA/cm2) = 19.45, Voc (mV) = 688, FF (%) = 61 and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of η (%) = 8.15 under standard (AM1.5 G) 1 sun illumination (100 mW/cm2). The efficiency of co-sensitized DSSCs is far better than the efficiency of fabricated solar cells sensitized with individual dyes [N749 (η = 4.94%) and RK1 (η = 5.76%)]. The efficiency enhancement is due to the lower rate of recombination of electrons and holes, decreased I?/I3? competitive absorption, and lower aggregation of the dyes resulting from the synergistic action in the co-sensitized photovoltaic cells.

Semiconductor Quantum Dots as Components of Photoactive Supramolecular Architectures
摘要： Luminescent quantum dots (QDs) are colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals consisting of an inorganic core covered by a molecular layer of organic surfactants. Although QDs have been known for more than thirty years, they are still attracting the interest of researchers because of their unique size-tunable optical and electrical properties arising from quantum confinement. Moreover, the controlled decoration of the QD surface with suitable molecular species enables the rational design of inorganic-organic multicomponent architectures that can show a vast array of functionalities. This minireview highlights the recent progress in the use of surface-modified QDs – in particular, those based on cadmium chalcogenides – as supramolecular platforms for light-related applications such as optical sensing, triplet photosensitization, photocatalysis and phototherapy.
