In this study, indigo based dyes with high non-linear optical response have been investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study non-linear optical properties of indigo and newly designed dyes (lM-Dye-0, IM-Dye-1, IM-Dye-2 and IM-Dye-3). The time dependant density functional theory (TDDFT) was used to calculate the excitation energies. The HOMO LUMO energy gaps of newly designed dyes were smaller as compare with indigo dye. Absorption maxima of newly designed dyes strongly red shifted as compare with indigo dye. High non-linear optical (NLO) response of newly designed dyes revealed that these materials would be excellent for NLO applications. This theoretical approach of designing will pave the way for experimentalists to synthesize high response NLO compound. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Non-fullerene acceptors with hetero-dihalogenated terminals induce significant difference in single crystallography and enable binary organic solar cells with 17.5% efficiency

Lai Wang, Qiaoshi An, Lu Yan, Hai-Rui Bai, Mengyun Jiang, Asif Mahmood, Can Yang, Hongfu Zhi, Jin-Liang Wang

Controlling Morphology and Voltage Loss with Ternary Strategy Triggers Efficient All-Small-Molecule Organic Solar Cells

Mengyun Jiang, Hong-Fu Zhi, Bao Zhang, Chucheng Yang, Asif Mahmood, Miao Zhang, Han Young Woo, Fujun Zhang, Jin-Liang Wang, Qiaoshi An

Summary: In this study, a new acceptor L8-BO was combined with the B1:BO-4Cl system to construct efficient ternary all-small-molecule organic solar cells (ASM-OSCs). Theoretical, morphological, and crystallographic studies showed that L8-BO and BO-4Cl had good compatibility, leading to the formation of an alloy-like state in the ternary blend. The synergy between the two acceptors promoted favorable phase separation and molecular stacking, enhancing charge splitting and extraction and resulting in improved short-circuit current density and fill factor. Furthermore, the alloy-like state of the acceptors and the higher energy level of L8-BO helped reduce voltage loss in the ternary ASM-OSCs compared to binary devices. The optimal ternary ASM-OSCs with 20 wt% L8-BO achieved a top-level efficiency of 17.10%.

Techno-economic assessment of waste mandarin biochar as a green adsorbent for binary dye wastewater effluents of methylene blue and basic fuchsin: Lab- and large-scale investigations

Ahmed S. El-Shafie, Evana Rahman, Yasser Gadelhak, Rehab Mahmoud, Marwa El-Azary

Summary: The recycling of waste mandarin peels into biochar (MRBC) has been used as a high performance and cost-effective adsorbent for treating polluted wastewater effluents. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to analyze the adsorption competency of MRBC on two dyes, methylene blue (MB) and basic fuchsin (BF), either in individual solutions or binary combinations. The results showed that MRBC was capable of effectively removing a high percentage of both dyes. However, the adsorption capacity decreased when the dyes were combined. The cost estimation of MRBC production and wastewater treatment indicated that both were relatively low.

Summary: This study synthesized Cs2NaInCl6 nanocrystals co-doped with Sb3+ and Tb3+ ions as probes for copper ions detection in lubricating oil. The introduction of Sb3+ effectively reduced the band gap of the host material and enabled energy transfer pathway for Tb3+ emission. The doped Tb3+ ions resulted in the suppression of emission due to electron transfer. The Cs2NaInCl6: 2.5 %Sb3+, 40 %Tb3+ NCs exhibited superior sensitivity and selectivity for copper ions detection.

Non-invasive analysis of reference glass and historical mosaic tesserae by means of reflectance infrared spectroscopy

Maria Cristina Caggiani, Germana Barone, Paolo Mazzoleni

Summary: Raman spectroscopy is commonly used for studying glassy materials in cultural heritage, but it is more difficult to interpret the spectra and apply the technique with portable instruments. In contrast, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) can be used in archaeometric investigations as it is portable and non-invasive. However, there is limited application of this technique to historical glasses. This exploratory work demonstrates the potential of DRIFTS, in combination with portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and EDS microanalyses, for studying the composition and alteration of glass samples in cultural heritage.
