Fluorene-centered perylene monoimides as potential non-fullerene acceptor in organic solar cells

A fluorene-centered perylene monoimide dimer, PMI-F-PMI with a partly non-coplanar configuration has been developed as a potential non-fullerene acceptor for organic solar cells (OSCs). The optimum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the OSC based on PMI-F-PMI as acceptor and poly (3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) as donor is up to 2.30% after annealing at 150 °C. The PCE of 2.30% is the highest value for the OSCs based on P3HT donor and non-fullerene acceptor lies in that PMI-F-PMI’s lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level around −3.50 eV matches well with the donor P3HT to produce higher open-circuit voltage (V_oc) of 0.98 V. Meanwhile, PMI-F-PMI makes remarkable contribution to devices’ light absorption as the maximum EQE (30%) of the devices is at 512 nm, same to the maximum absorption wavelength of PMI-F-PMI. The other favorable characteristics of PMI-F-PMI in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) active layers is proved through the photo current density measures, the relatively balanced electron–hole transport, and the smooth morphology with root mean square (RMS) value of 1.86 nm. For these advantages, PMI-F-PMI overwhelms its sister PMI-F and parent PMI as an acceptor in BHJ solar cells.     

Time dependent crystal-smectic transformation in perylene-containing polyimides

The crystalline conformations of perylene polyimides (PPIs), with alkyl spacers varying in length from C₃ to C₁₂ are discussed. Although modeling of single chains would suggest the possibility that those with odd number of CH₂ groups adopt a flat helical shape, X-ray diffraction suggests that the chains with odd and even spacers have the same conformation, due to the necessity to pack the perylene units. Upon annealing, the UV-vis absorption maximum red-shifts by about 10 nm, indicating enhanced π-stacking between the perylenes. Several changes in the spectra are seen with an increase in annealing time, at a given temperature. With an increase in annealing time, X-ray diffraction patterns show changes in the number of reflections, indicative of a crystal to mesogenic transition. The time required for this transition increases with a decrease in the spacer length, and annealing temperature, suggesting that the dynamics of this transition is very slow.     

Dye adsorption characteristics of alginate/polyaspartate hydrogels

This study examined the removal of some basic dyes, such as Methylene Blue, Malachite Green and Methyl Orange, using alginate or alginate/polyaspartate composite gel beads. The adsorption of dyes from aqueous solutions at 25 °C was examined using a batch sorption technique. The effects of CaCl₂ and the dye concentration on the adsorption were examined. Type-S adsorption isotherms were obtained, which is characteristic of a weak solute–solid interaction. The ionic interaction between the dye molecule and gel matrix appears to be responsible for the efficient adsorption of cationic dyes in this system. These results suggest that an alginate/polyaspartate gel can be used as an effective sorbent for water pollutants such as dyes, and the immobilization of these organic contaminants in the hydrogels from wastewater can solve one of the most important environmental problems in the related industry.

Response surface methodology applied for Orange II photocatalytic degradation in TiO2 aqueous suspensions

BACKGROUND: Heterogeneous photocatalysis is influenced by a number of parameters involving synergistic effects; hence, an experimental strategy design that considers interactions between the main variables is needed. The response surface methodology was applied for the investigation of photodegradation of 20 mg L^?1 Orange II in aqueous solutions and for optimization of color removal efficiency. Preliminary studies were performed to identify the parameters to be selected for optimization. RESULTS: The input variables considered for experimental design were: solution initial pH, oxidizing agent (H₂O₂) initial concentration and UV‐A irradiation time. The multivariate experimental design allowed the development of a quadratic response surface model to be used for the prediction of color removal efficiency over the full range of the experimental region. Under the optimum conditions established in the region of experimentation (pH = 6.9, [H₂O₂]₀ = 183 mg L^?1 and t = 32 min), a 100% color removal efficiency was obtained in experiments. CONCLUSIONS: It was found that the variables considered have important effects on color removal efficiency. The results demonstrate that the use of experimental design strategy is indispensable for successful investigation and adequate modeling of the process because the interdependence of the reaction parameters cannot be neglected.

Dyestuff—fibre interactions

The strength and nature of dye–fibre interactions vary according to fibre type and dye type. In the case of acid dyes for polyamide fibres, cationic dyes for acrylic fibres, disperse dyes for hydrophobic fibres, and direct dyes for cellulosic fibres, these interactions may be classified as non-covalent, a classification which includes van der Waals (VDW), electrostatic, induction, solvophobic and charge-transfer interactions.
Reactive dyes are a notable exception to the above, since the interaction which is responsible for their excellent wet fastness is the dye–fibre covalent bond, however, these dyes are increasingly viewed as environmentally unfriendly due to high salt usage and residual unfixed colour. This situation may be improved by either incorporating amine sites in the cellulose or by reversing the system to incorporate reactive residues in the fibre and nucleophilic sites in the dye.
Nonionic disperse dyes are valuable for hydrophobic fibres such as polyester but have made little impact on hydrophilic fibres such as silk, wool and cotton. Experiments to develop simple treatments to render the latter fibres disperse dyeable are described and the combined role of solvophobic and – interactions discussed.
