In this study, Bi₂WO₆ NS/x% CuFe₂O₄ NF (<em>x</em> = 1, 2, 5 and 10) composites were prepared using electrospinning and hydrothermal synthesis, to achieve improved photocatalytic Cr (VI) removal under visible light. The effects of the composite formation on their structural, optical and photocatalytic properties were studied. Pure CuFe₂O₄ and Bi₂WO₆ phases were achieved, as reflected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, with some variations in peak parameters in the Bi₂WO₆ NS/CuFe₂O₄ NF composites, which confirmed the incorporation of the CuFe₂O₄ NFs into the Bi₂WO₄ NS. From photoluminescence studies, lower emission peaks were observed in the Bi₂WO₆ NS/CuFe₂O₄ NF composites than that in pure Bi₂WO₆ NS, indicating the achievement of suppressed recombination of charge carriers in the composites. Hence, Cr (VI) removal rate was significantly improved with the Bi₂WO₄ NS/ CuFe₂O₄ NF composite formation, where each of them shows higher activity than both Bi₂WO₆ NS and CuFe₂O₄ NF. The highest removal rates of 90.35% and 96.04% were achieved with the sample Bi₂WO₄ NS/2% CuFe₂O₄ NF, after 60 and 120 min of visible light irradiations respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100166"},"PeriodicalIF":3.261,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3272689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite many positive studies for treating different conditions, this therapy still faces some skepticism, which has prevented its widespread adoption in clinics. The main reasons behind this skepticism are the lack of comprehensive information about the molecular, cellular, and tissular mechanisms of action, which underpin the positive effects of photobiomodulation. Moreover, there is also another therapeutic application using longer wavelength infrared radiation, involving either infrared saunas or heat lamps which are powered by electricity, as well as infrared emitting textiles and garments which are solely powered by the wearer's own body heat. In recent years, much knowledge has been gained about the mechanism of action underlying these treatments, which will be summarized in this review. There are three broad classes of primary chromophores, which have so far been identified. One is mitochondrial cytochromes (including cytochrome c oxidase), another is opsins and light or heat-sensitive calcium ion channels, and a third is nanostructured water clusters. Light sensitive ion channels are activated by the absorption of light by the chromophore proteins, opsin-3 and opsin-4, while mitochondrial chromophores are activated by red or near-infra red (NIR) light up to about 850 nm. However NIR light at 980 nm or longer wavelengths can activate transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, probably after being absorbed by nanostructured water clusters. Heat-activated TRP channels undergo a conformational change triggered by only small temperature changes. Here we will discuss the role of opsins and light or heat activated TRP channels in the mechanism of photobiomodulation and infrared therapy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100160"},"PeriodicalIF":3.261,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3459385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this, vertebrates have retained through evolution at least two sets of photoreceptors specialized primarily in such visual and NIF tasks: visual photoreceptors cones and rods responsible for day/night vision, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC) together with horizontal cells in some vertebrates, expressing melanopsin (Opn4). Interestingly, Opn4 as well as encephalopsin (Opn3) and neuropsin (Opn5), responding to blue and UV light, respectively, are expressed in the inner retina and command light detection in the blue range of the visible spectra; they are responsible for a number of NIF functions still lacking characterization. Though most retinal photoreceptors are derived from ciliary or neuronal progenitor cells, in recent years Müller glial cells (MCs), the most abundant retinal glial cell type, have been shown to express different blue opsins (Opn3 and Opn5) and the photoisomerase retinal G protein-coupled receptor (RGR), and to respond directly to light. MCs display different essential functions to maintain the homeostasis and cell survival of the whole retina, contributing to glutamate metabolism and chromophore recycling. The novel photoreceptive capacity of MCs, mainly in the blue region, offers several highly intriguing possibilities that increase the complexity levels for light detection in the retina and its light-activated circuits, calling for further investigation. The goal of the present review is to discuss the state of the art of research on <strong>the principal macroglial cells in the retina,</strong> focusing mainly on the novel photic responses driven by MCs, the biochemical mechanisms triggered after light stimulation and their putative functions and implications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100162"},"PeriodicalIF":3.261,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3459386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some previous studies have shown that pale mutants might reduce productivity in field conditions. Such lower yields were suspected to be due to loss of photosynthetic efficiency at leaf level during light fluctuations as a consequence of reduced capacity and slower relaxation of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of Chl fluorescence. In this paper, we tested this hypothesis by comparing, CO₂ assimilation (<em>A</em>), photosystem II (PSII) efficiency (Φ_PSII), photochemical quenching and NPQ, electron transport rate (ETR) and fluorescence yield (F_yield) in a green soybean (<em>Glycin</em>e <em>max</em> L.) cultivar (Eiko) and in a Chl-deficient (MinnGold) mutant under dynamically fluctuating light conditions. MinnGold had significantly slower induction of ETR and lower <em>A</em> and ETR than Eiko, but there was little difference in Φ_PSII between the two genotypes, suggesting that the lower photosynthesis of MinnGold was mainly due to lower light energy absorption by a Chl-deficient leaf. The NPQ capacity was also smaller in MinnGold than in Eiko. As for the kinetics of the rapidly inducible component of NPQ, MinnGold showed slower induction, not relaxation, than Eiko. The combination of the effect of Chl-deficiency on lower photosynthesis, NPQ capacity and slower NPQ induction may explain the lower biomass accumulation of MinnGold in the field. Our physiological observations, combined with fluorescence kinetics, can serve as a basis to parameterize Chl content in modelling radiative transfer and photosynthesis for upscaling measures of plant and ecosystem productivity by a big leaf model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.261,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3457206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We carried out spectroscopic measurements to deduce temperature-dependent absorption cross-sections of 2M13DO over a broad wavelength range of 8.4–10.5 μm (950–1190 cm⁻¹). For these measurements, we employed a rapidly tuning MIRcat-QT™ laser that can be operated either at a fixed wavelength or scanned mode over wide wavelength regions. By operating the laser at a fixed wavelength, we monitored the decay of 2M13DO behind reflected shock waves over <em>T</em>₅ = 1050–1400 K and <em>P</em>₅ = 0.7 and 2.6 bar. Our measured concentration time-histories of 2M13DO allowed us to directly extract the overall rate coefficients for the unimolecular decomposition of 2M13DO using the first-order rate law. We did not observe any pressure dependence in the measured rate coefficients, indicating that the reaction is close to the high-pressure limit. By employing the W1U composite method, we explored the important pyrolysis reaction pathways of 2M13DO in the reactive potential energy surface. Three important reaction channels, namely, 2M13DO → CH₂<img>CHOCH₂CH₂OH (<strong>IM1</strong>), 2M13DO → 2CH₃CHO (<strong>P3</strong>), 2M13DO → CH₃ + 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl (<strong>P4</strong>) were identified.
