Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes (C60 / C70) and N, N, N, N tetra - ( p-methylphenyl ) - 4, 4 diamino - 1, 1- diphenyl ether ( TPDAE ) have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis....Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes (C60 / C70) and N, N, N, N tetra - ( p-methylphenyl ) - 4, 4 diamino - 1, 1- diphenyl ether ( TPDAE ) have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. Quantum yields and rate constants of electron transfer from TPDAE to excited triplet state of fullerenes (C60 / C70 ) in benzonitrile have been evaluated by observing the transient absorption bands in the near-IR region where the excited triplet state, radical anion of fullerenes ( C60 / C70 ) and radical cations of TPDAE appear.展开更多

The material displayed high visible light photocatalytic activity. X-ray diffraction, field emission transmission electron microscopy, ultra violet/visible light absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the material as photoeatalyst. Photocatalytic activity on the degradation of Rhodamine B dye in an aqueous solution under ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation was also studied. The experimental results indicated that the photocatalytic activity of the material was much higher than that of pure TiO2 or Degussa P25 TiO2.展开更多

On the contrary, devices using chiral(R)-(1 R,2 S,5 R)-2 a and(S)-(1 R,2 S,5 R)-2 a, showed PCE as 1.08% and 1.10%, respectively. The main origin of the differences in PCE was found to be their poor Jsc values. The results indicate that the aggregation state might influence the interaction state with P3 HT and impact the results of the OPV properties, Jsc values in particular.展开更多

The temperature-dependent solubillty of C60 displays the anomalous behavior. A solubility maximum of C60 around O℃ for toluene and CS2, and around 30℃ for o-xylene was observed. The temperature-dependent solu bility of C70 displays the normal behavior in the same solvents.展开更多
