Wu C, Deng H, Ding Q, Yuan R, Yuan Y. Au nano-flower/organic polymer heterojunction-based cathode photochemical biosensor with reduction-accelerated quenching effect of porphyrin manganese. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130510. [PMID: 36493645 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In this work, a novel reduction-accelerated quenching of manganese porphyrin (MnPP) based signal-off cathode photochemical (PEC) biosensor by using Au nano-flower/organic polymer (PTB7-Th) heterojunction as platform was proposed for ultrasensitive detection of Hg2+. Firstly, the photoactive PTB7-Th with Au nano-flower on electrode could form a typical Mott-Schottky heterojunction for acquiring an extremely high cathode signal. Meanwhile, the presence of target Hg2+ could bring in the formation of T-Hg2+-T based scissor-like DNA walker, which thus activated efficient Mg2+-specific DNAzyme based cleavage recycling to shear hairpin H2 on electrode to exposure abundant trigger sites of hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for in-situ decoration of quencher MnPP. Here, besides the steric hinderance and light competition effect of MnPP decorated DNA nanowires attributing to signal decrease, we for the first time testified the MnPP reduction-accelerated quenching that constantly consumed the photo-generated electron by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). As a result, the proposed biosensor had excellent sensitivity and selectivity to Hg2+ in the range of 1 fM-10 nM with a detection limit of 0.48 fM. The actual sample analysis showed that the biosensor could reliably and quantitatively identify Hg2+, indicating an excellent application prospect in routine detection.

Abstract
In this work, a self-supplied electron photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for sensitive determination of Pb2+ was established by utilizing donor-acceptor (D-A)-type PTB7-Th (poly{4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl) thiophen-2-yl]benzo[1,2-b,4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl] thieno[3,4-b]-thiophene-4,6-diyl}) as a photoelectric material coupled with biotin as an efficient signal quencher. Impressively, compared with the traditional PEC signal quenchers, biotin was first applied as a PEC signal quencher in this work and it effectively avoided a cumbersome preparation process, complex DNA sequence design, and extra reagent assistance and greatly simplified experimental steps, which could achieve an efficient PEC signal quenching toward PTB7-Th. In addition, the execution of a DNAzyme-assisted Pb2+ recycling amplification reaction could release the quencher biotin, leading to the recovery of the PEC signal, thereby realizing the quantitative detection of Pb2+. Resultantly, the submitted self-supplied electron PEC biosensor presented an extensive coverage of assay Pb2+ (50 fM to 500 nM) along with a low determination limit (16.7 fM), which exhibited the advantages of high selectivity and excellent stability. Importantly, this work provided a powerful alternative to traditional heavy metal-ion assessment methods and possessed the potential for application in environment, biomedicine, and food-safety fields.

Abstract
Colloidally grown nanosized semiconductors yield extremely high-quality optoelectronic materials. Many examples have pointed to near perfect photoluminescence quantum yields, allowing for technology-leading materials such as high purity color centers in display technology. Furthermore, because of high chemical yield, and improved understanding of the surfaces, these materials, particularly colloidal quantum dots (QDs) can also be ideal candidates for other optoelectronic applications. Given the urgent necessity toward carbon neutrality, electricity from solar photovoltaics will play a large role in the power generation sector. QDs are developed and shown dramatic improvements over the past 15 years as photoactive materials in photovoltaics with various innovative deposition properties which can lead to exceptionally low-cost and high-performance devices. Once the key issues related to charge transport in optically thick arrays are addressed, QD-based photovoltaic technology can become a better candidate for practical application. In this article, the authors show how the possibilities of different deposition techniques can bring QD-based solar cells to the industrial level and discuss the challenges for perovskite QD solar cells in particular, to achieve large-area fabrication for further advancing technology to solve pivotal energy and environmental issues.

Abstract
Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) preserve the attractive properties of perovskite bulk materials and present additional advantages, owing to their quantum confinement effect, leading to their applicability as an absorber in perovskite solar cells. In this article, the issues and advantages of perovskite QDs are analyzed in terms of purification, device fabrication with perovskite QDs, light absorption, charge transport and stability. In addition, promising strategies to enhance perovskite QDs and QD-based solar cells are elucidated based on exchange chemistry (ion and ligand exchange), passivation engineering (ion and ligand passivation) and structure engineering (conventional/inverted, planar/mesoscopic and dimensionally graded structures). All these discussions will give a clue to the further development of perovskite QDs and thus the advancement of QD-based solar cells.

Abstract
CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) have been recently suggested for their application as bright green light-emitting diodes (LEDs); however, their optical properties are yet to be fully understood and characterized. In this work, we utilize time-dependent density functional theory to analyze the ground and excited states of the CsPbBr3 clusters in the presence of various low formation energy vacancy defects. Our study finds that the QD perovskites retain their defect tolerance with limited perturbance to the simulated UV-vis spectra. The exception to this general trend is that Br vacancies must be avoided, as they cause molecular orbital localization, resulting in trap states and lower LED performance. Blinking will likely still plague CsPbBr3 QDs, given that the charged defects critically perturb the spectra via red-shifting and lower absorbance. Our study provides insight into the tunability of CsPbBr3 QDs optical properties by understanding the nature of the electronic excitations and guiding improved development for high-performance LEDs.

Abstract
Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted extensive attention for photoelectric device application due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the toxicity of lead has hindered their commercialization. Consequently, lead free cesium metal halide NCs have been developed, but these materials suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and poor stability. Here, a new class of lead-free non-perovskite blue-emitting cesium bromine (CsBr) and cesium iodine (CsI) halide NCs are realized by zinc doping. High PLQYs of 79.05% and 78.95% are achieved by CsBr:Zn and CsI:Zn NCs, respectively, attributed to the improved local structural order and reduced strain between the lattices of the NCs after storing under ambient conditions for 20 to 30 days. Moreover, zinc doped cesium halide NCs show excellent air stability for at least 50 days. Our results for zinc doped cesium halide NCs have shown a new avenue to fabricate lead-free halide NCs for blue lighting and display applications.

Abstract
To take advantages of the intense absorption and fluorescence, high charge mobility, and high dielectric constant of CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), PQD hybrid nonfullerene organic solar cells (OSCs) are fabricated. Addition of PQDs leads to simultaneous enhancement of open-circuit voltage (VOC ), short-circuit current density (JSC ), and fill factor (FF); power conversion efficiencies are boosted from 11.6% to 13.2% for PTB7-Th:FOIC blend and from 15.4% to 16.6% for PM6:Y6 blend. Incorporation of PQDs dramatically increases the energy of the charge transfer state, resulting in near-zero driving force and improved VOC . Interestingly, at near-zero driving force, the PQD hybrid OSCs show more efficient charge generation than the control device without PQDs, contributing to enhanced JSC , due to the formation of cascade band structure and increased molecular ordering. The strong fluorescence of the PQDs enhances the external quantum efficiency of the electroluminescence of the active layer, which can reduce nonradiative recombination voltage loss. The high dielectric constant of the PQDs screens the Coulombic interactions and reduces charge recombination, which is beneficial for increased FF. This work may open up wide applicability of perovskite quantum dots and an avenue toward high-performance nonfullerene solar cells.
