One-pot synthesis of highly dye impregnated TiO2 nanoparticles for improved white light photo-degradation

Purpose Use of highly dye doped nano composite for organic pollutant degradation. Design/methodology/approach One-pot synthesis of titanium nano-particles were carried out in the presence of N719 dye. Findings High dye doping and exceptional dye degradation efficiency was observed. Within 25 min, 99 per cent of methylene blue was removed from waste water. Originality/value A novel one-pot synthesis of the composite was introduced.

Dye-Doped Electrically Smart Windows Based on Polymer-Stabilized Liquid Crystal

Here we report the fabrication of dye-doped polymer-stabilized liquid crystals (PSLC)-based smart windows. The effect of dye doping on PSLC contrast was investigated. Non-dichroic dye tints the PSLC sample in both off- and on-state, which is not beneficial for increasing its off/on contrast. The sample doped with dichroic dye shows a slight color in the off-state and strong color in the on-state, resulting in an enhanced contrast, which attributed to orientation dependent absorption of dichroic dyes. Furthermore, we blended non-dichroic dye and dichroic dye who have complementary absorption together into PSLC mixture. The sample is almost colorless in the off-state due to the subtractive process, while colored in the on-state. The contrast is further enhanced. The results show that the proposed multi-dye-doped PSLC device has high visual contrast and fast response time, making it attractive for applications in light management and architectural aesthetics.

Chroma Stability of WOLED with High-Voltage

Multilayer chroma stability of white OLEDs was realized with blue dye DPVBi and red dye DCJTB doped as luminescence layer. The blue dye doping concentration was kept at 6%, at the same time the red dye was reduced from 4%, 2%, 1% to 0.5%. The device color coordinates (CIE) were adjusted from (0.58, 0.42) to (0.31, 0.32), achieving the white light emission. A stable white emission for forward bias voltage changes from 6 to 17 V has been achieved. Its maximum luminance was 15030 cd/m2 at 17 V, and the maximum current efficiency was 4.65 cd/A at 9 V. We contributed the main reason of chroma stability to the complete energy transfer from CBP to DCJTB and the incomplete energy transfer between DPVBi and DCJTB by analyzing the spectrum and characteristic of the device so its performance was enhanced.
