In our previous work we have published some solutions of problems of measuring photochromic textile sample by standard commercial spectrophotometric systems [2]. Main problem with measurement of kinetic behavior of photochromic pigments by standard spectrophotometer is relatively long time period between individual measurements (5 s) and impossibility of measuring whole color change during exposure without interruption of illumination of sample during measurement. It means, standard commercial spectrophotometers enable off-line measurement of kinetic behavior during exposure period and quasi on-line measurement during reversion period. Based on this problem, it is only possible to obtain precise data during reversion—decay process and growth process (exposure) is affected by high variability of data. Following this knowledge, we developed original experimenttal system with short time scanning of color change of photochromic samples during growth and decay period of color change. In this study it is presented new view on the relationship between intensity of UV-A radiation and color change half-life t1/2. Via this relation, it is demonstrated the possibility of the flexible textile-based sensors construction in the area of the radiation intensity identification.展开更多

The morphology, phase crystallinity of the obtained SnO2-In203 were measured by X-ray diffraetion（XRD）, scan electron microscopy（SEM）, respectively. A room temperature ozone sensor based on SnO2-In2O3 hierarchical microspheres was fabricated and investigated. The gas sensing properties of the sensor using SnO2-In2O3 strongly depended on the proportion of SnO2 and In2O3. The sensitivity and response/recovery speed were greatly enhanced by UV illumination. A gas sensing mechanism related to oxygen defect was suggested.展开更多

Field effect transistor （FET） and ultraviolet （UV） sensors are fabricated based on the ZnO nanosheets. Due to the peculiar structure of nanosheet, the FET shows n-type enhanced mode behavior and high electrical performance, and its field-effect mobility and on/off cur- rent ratio can reach 256 cm2/（V.s） and ~10^8, respectively. Moreover, the response of UV sensors can also be remarkably improved to ~3 × 10^8. The results make the ZnO nanosheets be a good material for the applications in nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.展开更多

The focus of this study is on investigating the vanadyl 2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H, 31H-phthalocyanine(VOPc Ph O)and its blend with o-xylenyl C60 bis-adduct(OXCBA), for use as a lateral ultraviolet organic photodetect...The focus of this study is on investigating the vanadyl 2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H, 31H-phthalocyanine(VOPc Ph O)and its blend with o-xylenyl C60 bis-adduct(OXCBA), for use as a lateral ultraviolet organic photodetector. The research focuses on improving dark current reduction, which is a challenge in lateral organic photodetector. By integrating the OXCBA, low dark current values of 4.83 nA·cm^(-2)(D_(shot)^(*)= 1.414 × 10^(11)Jones) have been achieved as compared to the stand-alone VoPcPhO device of 14.06 nA·cm^(-2). The major contributing factors to dark current reduction are due to the efficient charge transfer at the photoactive-electrode interface, the deep highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)level of OXCBA, which leads to favorable energy level alignments hindering hole injection, and the occurrence of bulk heterojunction vertical phase segregation between VOPcPhO and OXCBA. These findings shed light on the relationship between the organic photoconductor's material composition, morphology, and performance metrics and open new avenues for metal phthalocyanine-based lateral ultraviolet organic photodetectors with low dark current and enhanced performance.展开更多
