ZnO纳米粒子自建场的形成及对其光电特性的影响

The effect of built-in field on the surface photovoltage(SPV) response of ZnO nanoparticles was investigated by means of surface photovoltage spectroscopy(SPS). From the results of in situ SPS in atmosphere and in vacuum, we suggest that the built-in field should be a main condition for producing SPV response. By comparison of SPS with PL in vacuum as well as in atmosphere, we deduce that by changing the ambience of ZnO, its functional properties can be modulated.

Electrochemical mass spectroscopic and surface photovoltage studies of catalytic water photooxidation by undoped and carbon-doped titania

Carbon-doped TiO2, demonstrated as an efficient photocatalyst in visible light photooxidation of organic compounds, was prepared with different doping concentrations and investigated via differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS) and capacitive surface photovoltage (SPV) measurements in the form of thin layer electrodes. In all cases the total photocurrent as well as the surface photovoltage of the doped materials decreased markedly in relation to the undoped one. No detectable oxygen evolved from the doped electrodes in acidic solution under UV-light excitation. Since an oxidation of formic acid is still apparent, it is concluded that this oxidation occurs via isolated, catalytically poorly active trap states within the forbidden energy region. The existence of these states is confirmed by capacitive SPV measurements.     

Photovoltaic Properties of Titanium Dioxide Nanowires with Different Crystal Structures

Titanium dioxide(TiO₂) nanowires with different crystal structures were successfully synthesized, and their charge transfer properties were further investigated by surface photovoltage(SPV), transient photovoltage(TPV) and surface photocurrent(SPC) techniques. The results reveal that both the surface states and the charge transfer rate of different TiO₂ nanowires are highly dependent on their crystal structures.

Theoretical study of benzonitrile clusters in the gas phase and their adsorption onto a Au(111) surface

We made theoretical calculations for a benzonitrile molecule and its clusters in the gas phase and as adsorbed on the Au(111) surface, to explain the observation by scanning tunneling microscope, that is, the trimer formation of cyanophenyl porphyrins adsorbed onto the Au(111) surface. With regard to the gas-phase species, ab initio calculations showed that (1) the benzonitrile dimer has a single stable structure that is planar and antiparallel; (2) the trimer has two isoenergetic stable structures, that is, a planar and cyclic structure and an antiparallel and nonplanar one; (3) the clusters are more stable, at low temperatures, than the monomer. For the adsorbed species, we made quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical calculations in which the interaction between the adsorbates and the surface is evaluated in a molecular-mechanical way by using analytical potential functions and an image charge model. Because the stable structures were found to be similar to those in the gas phase, the cluster formation of adsorbed cyanophenyl porphyrins was attributed to the interaction between cyanophenyl groups, which is barely affected by adsorbate-surface interaction. It was also found that the adsorbed cyclic benzonitrile trimer is more stable than the monomer and the dimer because the relative stability is dependent on enthalpy alone. We therefore concluded that the preferential formation of trimers by the adsorbed cyanophenyl porphyrins is due to the negligible contribution of entropy to the relative stability of the adsorbed species and that the adsorption hardly changes the situation found in the gas phase.

The Photovoltage-gas Sensitive Properties of 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ)

In this paper, surface photovoltage technique (SPV) was applied to the study of photovoltaic and gas sensitive properties of TCNQ polycrystal. It was found that SPV shows two peaks at 390 nm(P1) and 480 nm (P2) in the ultraviolet-visible range. And they are opposite in phase. The results of gaseous adsorption confirm that P, shows the acceptor characteristics, while PI shows that of donor. During adsorption, donor gas interacts with conjugated II * orbital, acceptor gas with the terminal group C=N .     

Surface photovoltage phase spectroscopy study of the photo-induced charge carrier properties of TiO2 nanotube arrays

By using the surface photovoltage(SPV) technique based on a lock-in amplifier,surface states located 3.1 eV below the conduction band of TiO 2 have been detected in TiO 2 nanotube arrays prepared by anodization of titanium foil in fluoride-based ethylene glycol solution.The photo-induced charge transportation behavior of TiO 2 nanotube arrays was also studied by qualitatively analyzing their SPV phase spectra measured under different external bias.When a negative bias was applied,carriers excited from surface states have the same transportation properties as those excited from the valence band;in contrast,when a positive bias was applied,these two kinds of photo-excited carriers exhibit different transportation behavior.

β‐Alkyloxazolochlorins: Revisiting the Ozonation of Octaalkylporphyrins,and Beyond

The reaction of β‐octaalkylporphyrins (octaethylporphyrin and etioporphyrin I) with ozone generated the corresponding heptaalkyloxazolochlorinhemiacetals in which a pyrrolic subunit of the porphyrins was replaced by an oxazoline moiety. Thus, a pyrrolic β‐carbon with its alkyl substituent was excised and replaced by an oxygen atom, and the neighboring β‐carbon was hydroxylated. This work clarifies the nature of the products first described by Fischer and De?eli?, in 1933, and verifies the work by Shulg′a and coworkers, from 1977. Furthermore, the chemistry of the oxazolochlorin hemiacetals was studied: They could be dehydroxylated or converted to alkyl acetals and gem‐dialkyl derivatives, all possessing chlorin‐type optical spectra. Their oxidative conversions generated a unique tetrahydrofuran‐linked oxazolochlorin dimer and a hexaethylporpholactone. The work expands on the knowledge of converting porphyrins to porphyrinoids of potential utility containing nonpyrrolic building heterocycles.     

Characterization of Fluorene - Thiophene Copolymer Layers by the Surface Photovoltage Method

Summary : The surface photovoltage method was used for the study of thin polymer layers made of poly{(9,9-dihexylfluorene-2,7-diyl)[-3-(3-methylbutyl)thiophene-2,5-diyl]} prepared by spin-coating on ITO coated glass substrates. The surface photovoltage (SPV) in a thin polymer layer is a result of dissociation of photogenerated free excitons in electric field of the space charge region (SCR) which forms spontaneously at the surface. The photovoltage signal was formed between a transparent electrode capacitively coupled to the surface of the sample and the back ITO electrode. Photovoltaic spectra were measured under illumination both the free surface (SPV_fs) and the substrate (SPV_ITO) side and for various layer thicknesses. The shape of the SPV_ITO spectrum is very similar to that of the absorption spectrum, whereas the SPV_fs spectrum maximum is shifted to longer wavelengths. Fitting theory to the experimental data, the thickness of the space charge region and the diffusion lengths were evaluated. The results are discussed also in relation to photoluminescence study of thin films.     

Covalent Template-Directed Synthesis of a Spoked 18-Porphyrin Nanoring**

Rings of porphyrins mimic natural light-harvesting chlorophyll arrays and offer insights into electronic delocalization, providing a motivation for creating larger nanorings with closely spaced porphyrin units. Here, we demonstrate the first synthesis of a macrocycle consisting entirely of 5,15-linked porphyrins. This porphyrin octadecamer was constructed using a covalent six-armed template, made by cobalt-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of an H-shaped tolan with porphyrin trimer ends. The porphyrins around the circumference of the nanoring were linked together by intramolecular oxidative meso-meso coupling and partial β-β fusion, to give a nanoring consisting of six edge-fused zinc(II) porphyrin dimer units and six un-fused nickel(II) porphyrins. STM imaging on a gold surface confirms the size and shape of the spoked 18-porphyrin nanoring (calculated diameter: 4.7 nm).     

Photophysical properties of a C6 hydrocarbon linked porphyrin dimer

The synthesis and characterisation of a C₆ hydrocarbon linked porphyrin dimer and its zinc complex is described. From fluorescence quantum yields and excited singlet and triplet state lifetimes, recorded for the dimers and the corresponding monomer species, it is suggested that the dimeric porphyrins exist in solution in open and closed conformations. The open conformations retain photophysical properties similar to those of the relevant monomeric species but the closed conformations do not fluoresce.     

Photoinduced electron transfer and excitation energy transfer in directly linked zinc porphyrin/zinc phthalocyanine composite

Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) and excitation energy transfer (ENT) reactions in monomer and slipped-cofacial dimer systems of a directly linked Zn porphyrin (Por)-Zn phthalocyanine (Pc) heterodyad, ZnPc-ZnPor, were investigated by means of the picosecond and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopies. In the dimer dyad system of two heterodyads connected through the coordination bond between two imidazolyl-substituted ZnPor bearing ZnPc, ZnPc-ZnPor(D), the rapid ENT from the ZnPor to ZnPc in the subpicosecond time region was followed by photoinduced charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR) with time constants of 47 and 510 ps, respectively. On the other hand in the monomer dyad system, no clear charge-separated state was observed although the CS with a time constant of 200 ps and CR with < or =70 ps were estimated. These results indicated that the dimer slipped-cofacial arrangement of pair porphyrins is advantageous for the effective production of the CS state. This advantage was discussed from the viewpoint of a decrease in the reorganization energy of the dimer relative to that of the monomer system. In addition, the electrochemical measurements indicated that the strong interaction between ZnPc and ZnPor moieties also contributed to the fast CS process despite the marginal driving force for the CS process. The dimer dyad of ZnPc-ZnPor provides full advantages in efficiencies of the light harvesting and the CS state production.     

Polymerization in the crystalline state. X. Solid-state conversion of 6-aminocaproic acid to oriented nylon 6

When single crystals of 6-aminocaproic acid (ACA) are heated about 30°C below their melting point, polycondensation to nylon 6 takes place. The polymer crystallites are biaxially oriented towards each other and the relation between their orientation and that of the parent monomer crystal has been clarified. The kinetics of the process are characterized by three stages, (a) an induction period, (b) a stage in which monomer disappears at a constant rate while polymer of relatively low molecular weight is formed, and (c) a slow polycondensation of the polyamide chains after exhaustion of the monomer. Oligomer concentrations were below detectable limits at all stages of the process. Addition of monomer to the polyamide was retarded when ACA was kept from reaching its equilibrium vapor pressure (0.12 mm Hg at 170°C) by condensation on a cool surface or when an inert gas was admitted to the system. This was interpreted as suggesting that ACA is transported through the vapor phase to the propagating polyamide. A number of surfaces catalyzed the polycondensation of ACA vapor, but nylon 6 formed in this way on KCl crystals exhibited no preferred orientation. The linear dimer and trimer of ACA were also found to condense to nylon 6 in the crystalline state, although at a slower rate than the monomer. The solid-state polycondensation of these oligomers was accelerated when they were exposed to the vapor of the monomer. Solid-state polycondensation of single crystals of the linear dimer led also to biaxially oriented nylon 6.
