Magnetic Field Effects on Photocurrent Responses from Modified Electrodes with CdS Nanoparticles

Switch of the magnetic field effect on photon upconversion based on sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation

“…[17][18][19] In addition, MFEs have been powerful in verifying the mechanisms of photochemical reactions. We have clarified the mechanisms of photoelectrochemical reactions in photosensitive electrodes modified with D-A-linked compounds, [20][21][22] semiconductor nanoparticles, 23 C 60 nanoclusters, 24 and conductive polymers 25 by examining MFEs.…”

“…The PUC measurement was conducted using a 532 nm continuous-wave laser as reported previously. 8 The MFE on upconverted fluorescence intensity was measured using an electromagnet in a similar manner to that described in previous papers [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] (ESI †).…”

“…where I(0) and I(B) are the upconverted fluorescence intensities in the absence and presence of magnetic field B, respectively, similar to the examples in previous papers. [20][21][22][23][24][25] At low DPA concentration (1 mM) and low excitation power density (13.6 mW cm −2 ), the upconverted fluorescence intensity decreased in the presence of a magnetic field (Fig. S4, ESI †).…”

Magnetic field effects on photoelectrochemical reactions of electrodes modified with thin films consisting of conductive polymers

“…Previously, we examined the MFEs on the photoelectrochemical reactions of photosensitive electrodes modified with zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin-viologen (ZnP-V 2+ ) linked compounds [ZnP(n)V (n = 4, 6, 8)] [23][24][25] and with semiconductor nanoparticles. 26,27) Also, to demonstrate the use of C 60 in a photonic nanodevice, we studied the MFEs on the photoelectrochemical reactions of photosensitive electrodes modified with nanoclusters containing a positively charged C 60 derivative and methylphenothiazine. 28) Recently, we also examined the MFEs on the photoelectrochemical reactions of ZnP(n)V (n = 4, 6, 8) in an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) using a two-electrode cell.…”

Luminescent properties of CdS nanoclusters dispersed in solution—Effects of size and surface termination

“…Metal and semiconductor nanoclusters have recently attracted much interest because of their unique optical and electronic properties, which are different from those of bulk materials [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Semiconductor nanoclusters, the radii of which are smaller than the bulk exciton Bohr radius, constitute a class of materials of intermediate nature between molecular and bulk forms of matter.…”
