Dye-sensitized titanium oxide electrodes were prepared by immobilizing a novel ruthenium complex, di(isothiocy- anato)bis(4-methyl-4’-vinyl-2,2’-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [(NCS)2(mvbpy)2Ru(II)] or the ruthenium compl...Dye-sensitized titanium oxide electrodes were prepared by immobilizing a novel ruthenium complex, di(isothiocy- anato)bis(4-methyl-4’-vinyl-2,2’-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [(NCS)2(mvbpy)2Ru(II)] or the ruthenium complex/sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate onto the surface of a titanium oxide-coated, fluorine-doped tin oxide (TiO2/FTO) electrode through a new electrochemically initiated film formation method, in which the electrolysis step and the film deposition step were individually performed. The incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of the Ru complex film on a TiO2/FTO electrode was disappointedly insufficient (1.2% at 440 nm). In sharp contrast, the Ru(II) complex/so- dium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate composite film deposited on the surface of a TiO2/FTO electrode showed maximum IPCE of 31.7% at 438 nm.展开更多

Ultra-high-molecular-weight(〉 1.0 × 10~7) polystyrene was synthesized using a radical initiator formed through the aerobic oxidation of this alkyl-9-BBN in a high yield(〉 80%). The kinetics of this emulsion polymerization of styrene with the alkyl-9-BBN was investigated. We confirmed that in the initial stage of the polymerization, the initial reaction rate followed first-order kinetics. The activation energy for this emulsion polymerization of styrene was approximately 56.2 kJ/mol.展开更多
