In this paper, we report the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and CdS quantum dots (QDs) on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV) nanofibers. The composite nanofibers were fabricated by coupling self-assembly and electrospinning method. A significant blue shift in both PL spectra and fluorescence images of PPV fibers was observed after doping of CdS QDs and PVA in succession. It was found that the changes in PL spectra of PPV originated from the chemical interactions between PPV and PVA, and the changes in the crystallization of PPV itself. A possible PL mechanism was proposed accordingly. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Benzotriazole-based copolymers with an interlocked conformation for mitigating the correlation of thermoelectric parameters

Hui-Ping Li, Cai-Yan Gao, Zhi-Ping Chen, Xin-Heng Fan, Lian-Ming Yang

Summary: In this study, a novel type of D-A non-fused-ring copolymers was designed and synthesized to overcome the trade-off relationship between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient in organic semiconductors. The incorporation of fluorine atoms into the polymer backbone effectively increased the ordered degree of molecular stacking and improved both the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. The bimodal orientation of polymers played a crucial role in decoupling the correlation between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient.

Summary: This research focuses on the versatile substance, polyaniline/layered double hydroxide (PANI@Nd-Co/LDH), under solvothermal conditions. A thorough analysis of its structure and morphology was conducted using various analytical methods. The findings showed that PANI@Nd-Co/LDH exhibited highly sensitive and specific fluorescence detection of Pb(II) and Al(III), outperforming other heavy metal ions. The sensor demonstrated a turn-off fluorescence response for Pb(II) ions and a turn-on fluorescence response for Al(III) ions. The minimum detectable limits (MDL) were determined to be 9.6 nM for Pb(II) and 220 nM for Al(III). PANI@Nd-Co/LDH could be easily regenerated and reused for multiple cycles. The detection mechanisms involved the inner filter effect (IFE) for Pb(II) and the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect for Al(III). These results highlight the excellent potential of PANI@Nd-Co/LDH in the detection and recognition of Pb(II) and Al(III) ions.
