Abstract
With the recent advancements in materials science, solar energy as a kind of clean energy source has gained increasing importance, and the research in solar cell technology has become a prominent area. In particular, the development of photoelectric conversion materials has attracted significant attention. In this paper, a novel two-dimensional Zn-based metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF) with 4 × 4 grid wave layer structure was synthesized using flexible 1,3-phenyldiacetic acid (H2mpda) and rigid 3,5-bis (triazolium) pyridine (btyp) ligands. The fluorescence emission spectrum of Zn-MOF aligns with the UV–visible absorption spectrum of coumarin 6 (CM6), enabling their use as donor and acceptor for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to construct an artificial light harvesting system (ALHS). Compared to Zn-MOF, Zn-MOF@CM6 demonstrates significantly larger surface area (7.4 m2/g), energy transfer efficiency (ΦET) of 47.7 %, and photocurrent on/off ratio (Ilight/Idark) of 50:1, which far exceeds previously reported values in literature. Interestingly, during the battery charge and discharge test, the diode of Zn-MOF@CM6 was observed to emit light. Zn-MOF@CM6 not only expands the application of MOF materials in artificial light harvesting systems, but also provides a new perspective for solar energy utilization and solar cell construction.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
