This research focuses on a theoretical investigation of dye characteristics rather than the synthesis of novel compounds. Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT), we have analysed six D-π-A structure dyes designed with pyrene as the π-bridge and various functional groups as donors. Our study examines their geometrical, electronic, optical, electronic localization, and electrochemical properties. The findings reveal that these theoretically designed D-π-A dyes show significant improvements in light-harvesting efficiency, open-circuit photovoltage, electron injection efficiency, and overall photovoltaic performance. The analysis indicates effective electron injection from each dye into the conduction band of TiO<sub>2</sub>, followed by efficient regeneration and enhanced intra- and intermolecular charge transfer properties. The incorporation of pyrene as a π-bridge and the use of different functional groups as donors are crucial for facilitating electron transfer from the donor to the acceptor region. Among the dyes studied, the D-π-D modified dye demonstrates superior theoretical performance, attributed to its higher energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and greater oscillator strengths for excited states. This results in improved intramolecular electron transfer and electron injection into the conduction band of TiO<sub>2</sub>, followed by effective regeneration. Overall, our study highlights the potential of these theoretically modeled dyes as highly promising sensitizers for DSSCs, due to their exceptional optical and electronic properties and impressive photovoltaic parameters. These findings position these molecular structures as strong candidates for future applications in organic DSSCs.</p>","PeriodicalId":15800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluorescence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are less expensive, more stable, and easier to work with and store, making them a viable substitute. This practical advantage of nanozymes over natural enzymes reassures us about the potential of this new technology. Peroxidase-like nanozymes have been investigated for the purpose of creating adaptable biosensors via the use of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) or particular bio recognition ligands, including enzymes, antibodies, and aptamers.

This study describes an economic turn-off fluorescent aptasensor for the quantitative analysis of Pb<sup>2+</sup> employing 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide (PTCDI) as a cost-effective fluorophore, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as separating agent and an elongated aptamer as both targeting agent and PTCDI loading site. The fundamental principle of the suggested fluorescent aptasensor, which is based on PTCDI, relies on detecting variations in the fluorescence intensity of PTCDI when an elongated aptamer (as single-stranded DNA) is present or absent. The advanced aptasensor is advantageous due to the elongation of the lead aptamer sequence length induced by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), resulting in enhanced sensitivity. The presence of Pb<sup>2+</sup> and the centrifugation process causes the separation of the poly A-modified aptamer/Pb<sup>2+</sup> conjugate from the poly T sequence. Hence, the interaction of PTCDI with the poly A moiety in the modified aptamer leads to a decrease in its fluorescence emission. The findings showcased that the fluorescent aptasensor exhibited exceptional specificity towards Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions, while the biosensing platform accomplished an impressive detection limit of 3.7 pM.

Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMS) has demonstrated to be a highly specific and cost-effective technique for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and PAH-metabolite identification and quantification. EEMS ability to quantify these compounds strongly depends on the intensity and variability of the bile baseline fluorescence (BBF). We found large differences in BBF among <i>Aequidens metae</i> (AME) individuals and of these with <i>Piaractus orinoquensis</i> (PIO). Moreover, BBF was large enough that solvent dilutions of over 1:400 were needed to avoid inner filter effects. We used parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to model the intra- and inter-species BBF variability. PARAFAC successfully decomposed the EEMS set into three fluorophores present in all samples, although in concentrations spreading over ~ 3 orders of magnitude. One of the factors was identified as tryptophan. Tryptophan and Factor 2 were covariant and much more abundant in AME than in PIO, while Factor 3 was ~ 6 times more abundant in PIO than in AME. Also, tryptophan was ~ 10x more abundant in AME specimens immediately caught in rivers than in their laboratory-adapted peers. The PARAFAC decomposition effectiveness was confirmed by the positive proportionality of scores to dilution ratios. A large inner filter indicates that Factor 2 is as strong a light absorber as tryptophan.
