Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on the Optoelectronic Properties of Graphene Oxide Films by E. Alikhaidarova, E. Seliverstova, N. Ibrayev

“…It is shown that with the addition of Ag NPs, the G band of graphene oxide shifts to low frequencies, which may be the result of the absence of separate double bonds, while the ID/IG ratio was not changed, as did the number of Gr layers. In the absorption spectrum of the films, along with the absorption band of graphene oxide, a shoulder was registered, which can be associated with the absorption of Ag NPs. …”

Photophysical properties of an alkyne-bridged bis(zinc porphyrin)-perylene bis(dicarboximide) derivative. by Odom, SA, Kelley, R, Ohira, S, Ensley, T, Huang, C, Padilha, L, Webster, S, Coropceanu, V, Barlow, S, Hagan, D, Van Stryland, E, Brédas, J, Anderson, H, Wasielewski, MR, Marder, SR

“…Transient absorption measurements show that excitation at several visible and near-IR wavelengths results in the formation of an excited-state species with a lifetime of 290 ps in 1% (v/v) pyridine in toluene. The absorption spectrum of this species resembles the sum of the spectra for the chemically generated radical cation and radical anion of the chromophore. …”

Understanding the interactions of porphryin LB films with NO2 by Dunbar, A, Richardson, T, McNaughton, A, Barford, W, Hutchinson, J, Hunter, C

“…The optical properties of a substituted porphyrin compound have been investigated in order to correlate the UV-vis absorption spectrum with both the chemical structure of the porphyrin and the analyte to which Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)/Langmuir-Schaeffer (LS) films of the porphyrin have been exposed. …”

A panchromatic anthracene-fused porphyrin sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells by Ball, J, Davis, N, Wilkinson, J, Kirkpatrick, J, Teuscher, J, Gunning, R, Anderson, H, Snaith, H

“…We show that by fusing the porphyrin core to an anthracene unit, we can extend the conjugation length and lower the optical gap, shifting the absorption spectrum into the near-infrared (NIR). All three dyes were tested in dye-sensitized solar cells, using both titanium dioxide and tin dioxide as the electron-transport material. …”

The impact of the crystallization processes on the structural and optical properties of hybrid perovskite films for photovoltaics by Grancini, G, Marras, S, Prato, M, Giannini, C, Quarti, C, De Angelis, F, De Bastiani, M, Eperon, G, Snaith, H, Manna, L, Petrozza, A

“…This reduces the strain felt by the bonds forming the cage and affects the motion of the organic cation in it, influencing the electronic transition at the onset of the optical absorption spectrum of the semiconductor. Moreover, we demonstrate that in mixed-halide perovskite, though Cl(-) ions are not present in a detectable concentration in the unit cell, they drive the crystallization dynamics. …”
