Breaking the Limitation of Elevated Coulomb Interaction in Crystalline Carbon Nitride for Visible and Near-Infrared Light Photoactivity.

ABSTRACT: Most near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive photocatalysts inevitably suffer from low charge separation due to the elevated Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes. Here, an n-type doping strategy of alkaline earth metal ions is proposed in crystalline K⁺ implanted polymeric carbon nitride (KCN) for visible and NIR photoactivity. The n-type doping significantly increases the electron densities and activates the n→π* electron transitions, producing NIR light absorption. In addition, the more localized valence band (VB) and the regulation of carrier effective mass and band decomposed charge density, as well as the improved conductivity by 1-2 orders of magnitude facilitate the charge transfer and separation. The proposed n-type doping strategy improves the carrier mobility and conductivity, activates the n→π* electron transitions for NIR light absorption, and breaks the limitation of poor charge separation caused by the elevated Coulomb interaction.

Multifunctional Single-Phase Photocatalysts: Extended Near Infrared Photoactivity and Reliable Magnetic Recyclability.

Project description:A practical photocatalyst should be able to integrate together various functions including the extended solar conversion, a feasible and economic recyclability, and above the room temperature operation potential, et al., in order to fulfill the spreading application needs in nowadays. In this report, a multifunctional single-phase photocatalyst which possesses a high photoactivity extended into the near infrared region, an easy magnetic recyclability and the high temperature stability was developed by doping Co into a new layer-structured Bi7Fe3Ti3O21 material. Light absorption and photocatalytic activity of the resulted Bi7Fe(3-x)CoxTi3O21 photocatalyst were extended to the long wavelength as far as 800 nm. Its strong ferromagnetism above the room temperature enables the nanopowders fully recyclable in viscous solutions simply with a magnet bar in an experimental demonstration. Furthermore, such photoactivity and magnetic recyclability were heavily tested under high-temperature and high-viscosity conditions, which was intended to simulate the actual industrial environments. This work brings the bright light to a full availability of a new multifunctional photocatalyst, via integrating the much enhanced ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, optoelectronic properties, most importantly, into a single-phase structure.

Visible and near infrared fluorescence spectral flow cytometry.

Project description:There is a long standing interest in measuring complete emission spectra from individual cells in flow cytometry. We have developed flow cytometry instruments and analysis approaches to enable this to be done routinely and robustly. Our spectral flow cytometers use a holographic grating to disperse light from single cells onto a CCD for high speed, wavelength-resolved detection. Customized software allows the single cell spectral data to be displayed and analyzed to produce new spectra-derived parameters. We show that familiar reference and calibration beads can be employed to quantitatively assess instrument performance. We use microspheres stained with six different quantum dots to compare a virtual bandpass filter approach with classic least squares (CLS) spectral unmixing, and then use antibody capture beads and CLS unmixing to demonstrate immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using spectral flow cytometry. Finally, we characterize and evaluate several near infrared (NIR) emitting fluorophores for use in spectral flow cytometry. Spectral flow cytometry offers a number of attractive features for single cell analysis, including a simplified optical path, high spectral resolution, and streamlined approaches to quantitative multiparameter measurements. The availability of robust instrumentation, software, and analysis approaches will facilitate the development of spectral flow cytometry applications.

Near-infrared and visible light dual-mode organic photodetectors.

Project description:We report a dual-mode organic photodetector (OPD) that has a trilayer visible light absorber/optical spacer/near-infrared (NIR) light absorber configuration. In the presence of NIR light, photocurrent is produced in the NIR light-absorbing layer due to the trap-assisted charge injection at the organic/cathode interface at a reverse bias. In the presence of visible light, photocurrent is produced in the visible light-absorbing layer, enabled by the trap-assisted charge injection at the anode/organic interface at a forward bias. A high responsivity of >10 A/W is obtained in both short and long wavelengths. The dual-mode OPD exhibits an NIR light response operated at a reverse bias and a visible light response operated at a forward bias, with a high specific detectivity of ~1013 Jones in both NIR and visible light ranges. A bias-switchable spectral response OPD offers an attractive option for applications in environmental pollution detection, bioimaging process, wellness, and security monitoring in two distinct bands.

Highly Crystalline K-Intercalated Polymeric Carbon Nitride for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Alkenes and Alkynes Deuterations.

Project description:In addition to the significance of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, the utilization of the in situ generated H/D (deuterium) active species from water splitting for artificial photosynthesis of high value-added chemicals is very attractive and promising. Herein, photocatalytic water splitting technology is utilized to generate D-active species (i.e., Dad) that can be stabilized on anchored 2nd metal catalyst and are readily for tandem controllable deuterations of carbon-carbon multibonds to produce high value-added D-labeled chemicals/pharmaceuticals. A highly crystalline K cations intercalated polymeric carbon nitride (KPCN), rationally designed, and fabricated by a solid-template induced growth, is served as an ultraefficient photocatalyst, which shows a greater than 18-fold enhancement in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over the bulk PCN. The photocatalytic in situ generated D-species by superior KPCN are utilized for selective deuteration of a variety of alkenes and alkynes by anchored 2nd catalyst, Pd nanoparticles, to produce the corresponding D-labeled chemicals and pharmaceuticals with high yields and D-incorporation. This work highlights the great potential of developing photocatalytic water splitting technology for artificial photosynthesis of value-added chemicals instead of H2 evolution.

HyTexiLa: High Resolution Visible and Near Infrared Hyperspectral Texture Images.

Project description:We present a dataset of close range hyperspectral images of materials that span the visible and near infrared spectrums: HyTexiLa (Hyperspectral Texture images acquired in Laboratory). The data is intended to provide high spectral and spatial resolution reflectance images of 112 materials to study spatial and spectral textures. In this paper we discuss the calibration of the data and the method for addressing the distortions during image acquisition. We provide a spectral analysis based on non-negative matrix factorization to quantify the spectral complexity of the samples and extend local binary pattern operators to the hyperspectral texture analysis. The results demonstrate that although the spectral complexity of each of the textures is generally low, increasing the number of bands permits better texture classification, with the opponent band local binary pattern feature giving the best performance.

Single-Crystalline InGaAs Nanowires for Room-Temperature High-Performance Near-Infrared Photodetectors.

Project description:InGaAs is an important bandgap-variable ternary semiconductor which has wide applications in electronics and optoelectronics. In this work, single-crystal InGaAs nanowires were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method. Photoluminescence measurements indicate the InGaAs nanowires have strong light emission in near-infrared region. For the first time, photodetector based on as-grown InGaAs nanowires was also constructed. It shows good light response over a broad spectral range in infrared region with responsivity of 6.5 × 103 A W-1 and external quantum efficiency of 5.04 × 105 %. This photodetector may have potential applications in integrated optoelectronic devices and systems.

A calamitic mesogenic near-infrared absorbing croconaine dye/liquid crystalline elastomer composite.

Project description:In this work, we report the first example of a calamitic mesogenic near-infrared (NIR) absorbing organic dye, made by functionalizing a thiophene-croconaine chromophore rigid core with two symmetric long flexible alkyl chains. The liquid crystal (LC) NIR dye YHD796 exhibits a sharp and intense NIR absorption band with a maximum absorption peak at 796 nm. Taking advantage of the improved solubility of YHD796 dispersed in mesogenic molecules, a homogeneously-aligned mono-domain liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE)/YHD796 composite film is successfully prepared by applying the classical LC-cell-alignment method and in situ photo-polymerization of photocurable LC monomer mixtures. This LCE/YHD796 composite film performs a fully reversible contraction/expansion response towards NIR light stimulus due to the photo-thermal heating effect induced by the YHD796 dye well-dispersed in the LCE matrix.

Hydrogenated Amorphous TiO2-x and Its High Visible Light Photoactivity.

Project description:Hydrogenated crystalline TiO2 with oxygen vacancy (OV) defect has been broadly investigated in recent years. Different from crystalline TiO2, hydrogenated amorphous TiO2-x for advanced photocatalytic applications is scarcely reported. In this work, we prepared hydrogenated amorphous TiO2-x (HA-TiO2-x) using a unique liquid plasma hydrogenation strategy, and demonstrated its highly visible-light photoactivity. Density functional theory combined with comprehensive analyses was to gain fundamental understanding of the correlation among the OV concentration, electronic band structure, photon capturing, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and photocatalytic activity. One important finding was that the narrower the bandgap HA-TiO2-x possessed, the higher photocatalytic efficiency it exhibited. Given the narrow bandgap and extraordinary visible-light absorption, HA-TiO2-x showed excellent visible-light photodegradation in rhodamine B (98.7%), methylene blue (99.85%), and theophylline (99.87) within two hours, as well as long-term stability. The total organic carbon (TOC) removal rates of rhodamine B, methylene blue, and theophylline were measured to 55%, 61.8%, and 50.7%, respectively, which indicated that HA-TiO2-x exhibited high wastewater purification performance. This study provided a direct and effective hydrogenation method to produce reduced amorphous TiO2-x which has great potential in practical environmental remediation.

Optically Graded Ultra Dark Absorber for Visible and Near-infrared Wavelength Range.

Project description:Near perfect absorbers find application in many areas including solar cells, energy harvesting and antireflection coatings for space applications. Here we report the use of optical gradation concept to fabricate a near perfect absorber on etched Si wafer. As a proof of concept, 99.4% absorption is achieved in the broad range of 300?nm to 2000?nm. Moreover, absorption capacity of optically graded surface remains higher than 99% up to beam incident angle of 50°. While carbon nanotubes (index ~1.1) are used as top layer, subsequent layers with increasing optical index across the thickness are chosen so as to satisfy zero reflection condition on multilayered assembly. Inward bending of incident beam and total internal reflection of reflected beam caused due to optical index gradient contributes to absorb the incident beam more efficiently. In addition, multiple scattering of incident beam due to the presence of multiscale feature size in graded assembly helps to absorb shorter as well as longer wavelengths of incident light. The graded assembly shows contact angle of 160° with roll-off angle equal to 5° implying that the graded absorber is not only super black but also superhydrophobic and self-cleaning in nature. The combination of properties shown by the super absorber makes it very attractive, especially for next generation solar cells to harness energy in the wavelength range of 1000?nm to 2000?nm.

Visible/near-infrared subdiffraction imaging reveals the stochastic nature of DNA walkers.

Project description:DNA walkers are designed with the structural specificity and functional diversity of oligonucleotides to actively convert chemical energy into mechanical translocation. Compared to natural protein motors, DNA walkers' small translocation distance (mostly <100 nm) and slow reaction rate (<0.1 nm s-1) make single-molecule characterization of their kinetics elusive. An important indication of single-walker kinetics is the rate-limiting reactions that a particular walker design bears. We introduce an integrated super-resolved fluorescence microscopy approach that is capable of long-term imaging to investigate the stochastic behavior of DNA walkers. Subdiffraction tracking and imaging in the visible and second near-infrared spectra resolve walker structure and reaction rates. The distributions of walker kinetics are analyzed using a stochastic model to reveal reaction randomness and the rate-limiting biochemical reaction steps.
