This study addresses the electrochemical performance reliability of a silver-incorporated neodymium trimesic acid (Ag/Nd-TMA) metal-organic framework (MOF) immobilized on a flexible carbon cloth electrode (CC) and the reaction mechanism utilizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis. The incorporation of Ag/Nd-TMA onto the electrode surface was thoroughly characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrode's remarkable flexibility was explored through both fold and no-fold experimental configurations, both of which demonstrated excellent differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) performance. The sensing platform exhibited a remarkable detection limit of 0.568 nM for Hg(II), underscoring its exceptional sensitivity (1.60 nM−1) and repeatability with 0.47 % RSD. Moreover, utilizing the XPS method, the reaction mechanism revealed the surface adsorptive behaviour of the Ag/Nd-TMA electrode before and after DPV responses. This flexible Ag/Nd-TMA electrode showcases a promising avenue for highly sensitive and adaptable electrochemical sensing applications, particularly in the realm of environmental monitoring and trace metal analysis.

The strategic change in the basic skeleton from donor-acceptor (D-A) to donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) to achieve an efficient external quantum efficiency (EQE) as well as high thermal stability is an invitation to develop new materials for organic light emitting diodes (OLED). In this way, adamantane-substituted acridine donor-based emitters, AA-DPK and AA-DPK-AA were developed for green thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emission. Moreover, the diphenylketone unit was used as an acceptor. The photophysical properties were explored and exhibited the dual emission characters, involving one emission from local or weak and other from strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. Besides, the PL results exhibited the exact emission peaks not only in solution but also in OLED devices for AA-DPK and AA-DPK-AA molecules with dual fluorescence emission (DFE) nature in solution, which could be ascribed to quasi axial conformation (QAC) and quasi equatorial conformation (QEC). OLED devices using AA-DPK and AA-DPK-AA molecules as emitters with a widely used host material, 1,3-Bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene (mCP) exhibited green electroluminescence with higher EQEs of 8.5 % and 17 %, respectively. The AA-DPK-AA molecule demonstrated a two-fold improvement not only in EQEs and other parameters but also in thermal stability and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). These enhancements contribute to the molecule's stability in OLEDs, resulting in low efficiency roll-off and high overall efficiency.

In this study, a straightforward layer-by-layer self-assembled method was utilized to fabricate well-aligned copper oxide sandwiched graphene nanocomposite (CuOSG-NC) stacks through electrostatic attraction. The successful formation of densely packed CuOSG-NC structure was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. A simple, sensitive electrochemical approach was developed for the detection of L-vanillin, a widely used food preservative and potent antimicrobial agent, employing a CuOSG-NC modified graphite electrode. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that the CuOSG-NC modified electrode demonstrated outstanding electrocatalytic activity for the L-vanillin oxidation in 0.1 M NaOH electrolyte. Under optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current showed linearity with the vanillin concentration ranging from 3.3 × 10−6 to 1.7 × 10−3 M, achieving a limit of detection 1.1 × 10−6 M (S/N = 3). The modified electrode for L-vanillin detection provided benefits including simple preparation, high sensitivity, and strong stability. Its practical use as an amperometric sensor for L-vanillin in flow systems was assessed through chronoamperometric analysis. Additionally, the modified electrode was effectively applied to determine vanillin in commercial roasted coffee bean samples, highlighting its potential for real-world applications in food products. Future research could explore the adaptation of this CuOSG-NC based electrochemical sensor for detecting other phenolic compounds or emerging contaminants, broadening its applications in food safety and environmental monitoring.

Uric acid serves as a vital diagnostic marker for various diseases like arthritis, gout, leukemia, etc. Accurate quantification is critical for effective diagnosis, monitoring, and management of various pathological conditions. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of two-dimensional silver-doped graphitic carbon nitride (Ag@g-C3N4) as a non-enzymatic colorimetric sensing platform for uric acid. The synthesis was confirmed through various spectroscopic techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed the characteristic peaks for graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and Ag@g-C3N4 nanocomposite, whereas scanning electron microscopy (SEM) displayed the nanoporous morphology of the material. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and elemental mapping confirmed the presence of various constituent elements and their homogenous distribution respectively. The as-synthesized nanocomposite was used as a new colorimetric sensing platform for uric acid sensing employing 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as an indicating material. This fabricated sensing platform detected uric acid with excellent sensitivity (LOD, 0.12 µM), a wide linear range (1–81 µM) with R2 = 0.998, and good selectivity. The proposed sensor worked best at 4 mg of the nanocomposite, pH 6, TMB 15 mM, and 20 mM of H2O2, with a response time of 150 seconds. Furthermore, the proposed sensor successfully detected uric acid in real urine sample solutions with good sensitivity and selectivity.

Current research in energy storage is primarily focused on innovating affordable electroactive materials with superior specific capacitance. We introduce a two-step, successful approach for developing hierarchical, binder-free arrays of NiZn-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets on polyaniline-coated copper sheet. The NiZn-LDH/PANI/Cu electrode material's structural and surface properties were analyzed using techniques such as FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, and XRD. In a two-electrode supercapacitor (SC) setup, electrochemical evaluations revealed the outstanding performance of the electrode. The sample achieved a maximum energy density of 32 Wh kg−1, a specific capacitance of 358.75 F g−1, and impressive cycling stability, maintaining 90 % of its capacitance after 5000 cycles. These findings highlight the potential of the NiZn-LDH/PANI/Cu SC as a viable energy storage solution. By leveraging the synergistic effects of the composite materials, this approach not only enhances energy density and capacitance but also ensures long-term stability and reliability. Ultimately, this work contributes to the development of advanced SC technologies that can meet the increasing demands for efficient and sustainable energy storage systems.

The rapid, selective and trace detection of nitroaromatic compounds is a critical global concern for public security and pollution control due to their potent explosive properties, toxic effects, and significant environmental impact. In this study, we developed a simple and efficient fluorescent sensor using hyperbranched conjugated copolymers (HPCs) containing dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]pyrrole (DTP) units for the first time to detect picric acid (PA) in all three states: solution, solid, and vapor. Two novel DTP-based HPCs, poly(TPA-alt-DTP) and poly(TPB-alt-DTP), were synthesized through a one-step A2 + B3 direct arylation polycondensation under aerobic conditions of DTP and tribromoaryl monomers such as triphenylamine (TPA) and triphenylbenzene (TPB). These hyperbranched polymers exhibited strong fluorescence and effective PA detection, achieving a very low detection limit of less than 1 μM. Furthermore, they demonstrated excellent selectivity for PA, reaching a fluorescence quenching efficiency of up to 90 % compared to other nitroaromatic interferences. The resulting polymers exhibited superior fluorescent quenching performance due to the hyperbranched structure in the backbone, which provided multi-dimensional transport pathways for excitons to migrate from the electron-rich polymer to the electron-deficient PA through a combination of static quenching and photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanisms. In comparison to previous reports, polymer-based fluorescent probes performed exceptionally well in solid and vapor states, sensing PA concentrations as low as 10−15 M using paper tests. The paper sensors proved effective in determining PA in solid, solution, and vapor forms, thereby enhancing their potential for on-site applications.

Herein, we explored the application of perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) electron transport material for inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We obtained a modest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.0 % using PTCDA alone to form electron-transport layer (ETL) of p-i-n devices, whereas the combination of PCTDA with C60 within a binary ETL delivered PCE of 19.8 %. The improved efficiency reached with binary ETL can be attributed to its ability to facilitate charge transfer and passivate traps the surface of the perovskite layer thus reducing recombination losses at the absorber/ETL interface. Further insights were provided by IR s-SNOM microscopy, which revealed that the binary C60/PTCDA ETL has a highly uniform and homogeneous structure with low density of defects and pinholes, thus ensuring effective isolation of MAPbI3 and effective operation of PSCs. Moreover, the binary C60/PTCDA ETL improved the stability of PSCs under ambient conditions, so the devices exhibited no signs of degradation after 1000 h. These findings feature the potential of PTCDA as a promising organic component for designing engineered multicomponent ETLs for improving the performance and stability of PSCs.

Three small molecules with acceptor-donor-acceptor structure, featuring multi-fused rings (pentacyclic, heptacyclic, and octacyclic arenes) as donors and fluorinated benzothiadiazole as acceptor were synthesized and characterized for their applications in solution-processed organic field-effect transistors. The impact of different fused-ring structures of donor units on the optical and electrochemical properties, crystal structure, and charge carrier of the small molecule were systematically studied. The small molecule containing heptacyclic ladder-type arene demonstrated the highest field-effect performances, achieving a hole mobility of 0.29 cm2V–1s–1. Additionally, devices processed with non-chlorinated solvents also showed excellent mobility, approximately 0.20 cm2V–1s–1.

Polypyrrole film composites were galvanostatically electropolymerized (EP) from suspensions of either chemically oxidized polypyrrole (CP) or carbide-derived carbon (CDC) particles, generating EPCP and EPCDC composite films. In addition to these particles the material includes anions of phosphotungstide acid (PTA), used to prepare the particle suspensions and dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS-) used as electrolyte. The final composite materials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, with their conductivity and density also measured. The dual actuating-sensing capabilities of the of the films (linear actuators) were quantified from their electrochemomechanical responses in organic electrolyte solution. Three different potential ranges were explored by cyclic voltammetry and square potential waves. The EPCP actuator, which expands upon reduction (cation-driven actuation) achieves a maximum strain of 2.6 %, while the EPCDC, which expands by oxidation (anion-driven) showed a maximum strain of 7.2 %. These values surpass those reported in the literature for other cation- or anion-driven PPy composites. The EPCP´s actuating charge density was 1.5–1.7 times higher than that of the EPCDC actuators. Despite the high material complexity improving dual and simultaneous actuating-sensing capabilities were achieved. In the studied potential ranges, both actuators work under charge balance, as proved by the coulovoltammetric responses. Future studies will explore the expected increase in actuator durability and charge storage capacity.
