AB  - The doping effect of carbon nanodots (CNDs) in the PC61BM electron-transport layer on the performance of inverted planar MAPbI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) having two different kinds of the hole-transport layer, namely organic PEDOT:PSS and inorganic NiOx, was investigated. The CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite layer was deposited in air at 35% humidity. An average 11% and 12% enhancement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was achieved for 1 wt% CNDs doping in the PSCs with PEDOT:PSS and NiOx, respectively. This improvement is attributed to high electron density of CNDs resulting in a triple increase of the electrical conductivity of the PC61BM layer and passivation of the perovskite/PC61BM interface that is reflected by an increase of the open-circuit voltage. In line with this, parallel resistance and fill factor of the PSCs are also improved. Moreover, the energy-resolved electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed additional free-charge carriers in the PC61BM layer generated under illumination that were detected via the polaron states formation in the band gap with positive effect on the short-circuit current. All these factors contribute to the PCE improvement. Stability tests of the PSC with PEDOT:PSS under a continuous 24 hour 1.5 AM illumination showed a five times smaller final PCE decrease for the 1 wt% CNDs doping of the PC61BM layer comparing to the undoped counterpart. The passivation effect of CNDs, namely electron filling the traps formed by the photo-dimerization and photo-oxidation of PC61BM molecules, is responsible for this remarkable improvement of the short-term stability. © 2019 International Solar Energy Society

AB  - Ubiquitous carbon nanomaterials have great potential for emerging technologies, but they also pose a threat to human health at the end of their lifecycle, especially when they are introduced into waste or ground waters. Graphene field-effect transistors (GFET) and real time in situ confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) were employed to detect a submonolayer of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in water. An effective GFET channel was formed on exfoliated and chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene. The adsorption of CQDs was monitored by measuring conductance changes in GFETs. The graphene channel was functionalized with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), which allowed for easy observation of a shift in the charge neutrality point (CNP) when the graphene channel was exposed to CQDs. The affinity of the CQD's carboxyl terminal groups to the aminofunctionalized channel enabled a highly sensitive CQD detection based on changes in the GFET conductivity. The adsorption of the CQDs induced a positive shift of the CNP with a limit of detection at concentrations of 239 ppm and 62 ppm for the exfoliated and CVD graphene, respectively. A supporting study of graphene functionalization and CQD adsorption was performed by real time in situ CRM, ellipsometry, and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. © 2019 Author(s).

AB  - This paper reports a simple route for the preparation of graphene/poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (SBS) nanocomposite films employing a vacuum filtration method. Graphene is exfoliated well by an electrochemical procedure and homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix. The prepared nanocomposite films were characterized by XRD, Fourier transform IR (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, AFM and SEM. Morphological studies showed that graphene formed a smooth coating over the surface of SBS. The increase in graphene concentration induces the wrinkling of graphene sheets at the composite surface which causes a further increase in surface roughness. The FTIR, Raman and XPS spectra of graphene/SBS nanocomposite films indicate the strong interactions between graphene and the polymer matrix. According to the XRD patterns, introducing SBS into graphene did not modify the graphene structure additionally, i.e. the crystal lattice parameters do not depend on SBS content in graphene/SBS nanocomposite films. The graphene/SBS nanocomposite films also exhibited better hydrophobicity due to the increased surface roughness and lower sheet resistivity (reduced 10 times) compared to exfoliated graphene.

AB  - Inimitable properties of carbon quantum dots as well as a cheap production contribute to their possible application in biomedicine especially as antibacterial and antibiofouling coatings. Fluorescent hydrophobic carbon quantum dots are synthesized by bottom-up condensation method and used for deposition of uniform and homogeneous Langmuir-Blodgett thin films on different substrates. It is found that this kind of quantum dots generates singlet oxygen under blue light irradiation. Antibacterial and antibiofouling testing on four different bacteria strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) reveals enhanced antibacterial and antibiofouling activity of hydrophobic carbon dots thin films under blue light irradiation. Moreover, hydrophobic quantum dots show noncytotoxic effect on mouse fibroblast cell line. These properties enable potential usage of hydrophobic carbon quantum dots thin films as excellent antibacterial and antibiofouling coatings for different biomedical applications.
