Full textThe pursuit of a clean energy source is a goal for the scientific community that should be achieved in the following decades. In recent years, hydrogen has gained much attention in the scientific community as a renewable energy carrier. However, the main goal in the energetic field is to move from the production of grey hydrogen (obtained using fossil sources with the subsequent emission of carbon dioxide) to the evolution of green hydrogen (produced with zero carbon footprint). During my Ph. D., I have focused on different topics regarding the use of organic dyes as visible light photosensitizers in devices for the production of solar fuels through efficient light harvesting. I investigated both photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) applications. For these applications, I considered both covalent and non-covalent approaches. In the PC application, I investigated only a non-covalent approach between the dye and the sacrificial electron donor (SED). I decided not to investigate a covalent interaction because since the system cannot regenerate the SED, it would have led to the loss of the dye as well. Regardless, the establishment of supramolecular interactions that favored the photocatalytic activity confirmed the success of the new proposed design. In the PEC application, I investigated both approaches. I present the first example of calix[4]arene-based dyes employed in photoanodes of PEC cells to exploit their host-guest capabilities. However, the evidence of the establishment of either beneficial or fruitless host-guest interaction between the dyes and the water oxidation catalyst (WOC) is still under investigation. The second non-covalent approach investigated is the π-π interaction between a graphene-functionalized dye and a suitable modified WOC. All the further characterization and PEC applications are in progress. On the other hand, the covalent approach should be the most stable, and with the immobilization of the WOC at a fixed distance from the semiconductor surface, it is possible to avoid the establishment of a detrimental interaction with the semiconductor. We presented the first example of organic-dye-based dyads for photoanode application. These molecules showed excellent efficiencies in oxygen evolution being the highest concerning the actual state of the art for similar systems. The other covalent design proposed has been obtained during my Ph. D. period abroad at Yale University. This innovative design failed in the PEC application, but this molecule exhibited very good performances as simple WOC in electrochemical cells. This means that this WOC has the right potential to oxidize water and can be used in combination with an external source of energy, such as solar panels. However further investigation in the dye portion is required to achieve a better charge transfer for the PEC applications.

Full textEl Crecimiento de la población I de nuevos países emergentes hace que el consume energético se dispare. Toda la población depende de este consume I como consecuencia se depende de las reservas de combustibles fósiles disponibles. Una de las Fuentes de energía no agotable y que suministra a la tierra de una gran cantidad de energía es el Sol. Esta energía ya está siendo explotada con la utilización de paneles solares basados en Silicio. Sin embargo, debido a su elevado coste de fabricación no pueden competir con fuentes de energía ya existentes. Por lo tanto, nuevas investigaciones en alternativas han estado estudiadas. Una de las alternativas que han sido más estudiadas son las Celdas sensitibizadas con colorante (DSSC) i las Celdas Orgánicas (OPV). Las bases y su funcionamiento se muestran en el capítulo 1. El principal estudio de esta tesis se centra en el diseño y la síntesis de nuevos colorantes para estos tipos de dispositivos. Estos colorantes tienen un papel muy importante en estos dispositivos y muchas veces su eficiencia deriva de la estructura del colorante debido a reacciones que se producen en el dispositivo. En el Capítulo 3 y 4 se presenta el diseño de dos tipos de colorantes para las celdas sensitibizadas con colorante. En el Capítulo 3 se muestran moléculas orgánicas con estructura D--A que han sido ampliamente estudiadas como alternativa a los complejos de rutenio. En el capítulo 4 una familia de porfirinas ha sido sintetizada debido a los prometedores resultados mostrados siendo en la actualidad las moléculas que dan más eficiencia. En el Capítulo 5 en cambio se ha sintetizado una porfirina, pero en este caso para estudiar su aplicabilidad en las celdas orgánicas (OPV)
The population is growing and the consumption of energy is dramatically increasing. All the population depends on this energy and are using fossil fuels available. One of this renewable source that gives to the earth a huge amount of energy is the sun. This source is exploited nowadays with photovoltaic devices based in silicon. However due to their high cost of production is not an alternative comparing with the existent sources. For this reason scientists of the entire world are working hard in the development of alternative devices in order to reduce the cost, decrease the contamination and increase the efficiencies among others. Some of alternatives that have been widely studied during the last years have been the Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) and Organic Solar Cells (OPV). Basic principles of these devices are showed in Chapter 1. Principally the study of this thesis was focused in the design and synthesis of new sensitizers for these devices. These sensitizers play an important role in these devices and many times their structure depends on the efficiency of the device. In Chapter 3 and 4 the design and synthesis of two kinds of sensitizers and their applicability in DSSC is showed. In chapter 3 the sensitizers are organic dyes with a structure of D-π-A widely studied as alternative to the ruthenium complexes. In chapter 4 another family of sensitizers have been synthesized and also their applicability in DSSC has been studied. In this chapter the molecules are a family of porphyrins that are the molecules that nowadays are showing the most efficiency. On the other hand in Chapter 5 a new porphyrin has been synthesized but in this case to study their applicability in Organic solar Cells (OPV)

Full textDue to instability problems of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) in longtime uses, the iodine based liquidelectrolyte has been replaced by several types of solid hole transporting materials (HTM) to perform solidstate DSSCs (s-DSSCs). Among them, the substitution by conducting polymers (CP) has attractedconsiderable attention because of their good stability, high hole-conductivity and simple deposition withinthe mesoporous TiO2 semiconductor. In this thesis work, several s-DSSCs based on CPs used as HTM havebeen developed in order to improve their photovoltaic performances taking into account the following twoobjectives: (i) the optimization of the interfacial charge transfer processes within the solar cell, and (ii) theoptimization of the charge transport within the n-type oxide semiconductor. To reach these goals, eachcomponent that constitutes the device was varied in order to investigate its effect on the device’sperformances. As first attempt, an analytical study is carried out by varying the sensitizer in order todetermine the fragments of the dyes structures, that have an important effect on the in-situ photoelectrochemical polymerization process (PEP) both in organic and in aqueous media and hence on theperformances of the s-DSSCs. Based on these results, a new concept of removing completely the interfacebetween the dye and the HTM is developed. This is achieved by the synthesis of new dyes covalently linkedto an electroactive monomer which is co-polymerized by in-situ PEP. The resulting co-polymer, used asHTM, is covalently linked to the dye. In addition, the nature of the chemical bond linking the triphenylamineresidue TPA to the monomer is also investigated as a key factor in the s-DSSCs performances. Besides, andto optimize the charge transport processes within this type of s-DSSC, the elaboration of novel ZnO baseds-DSSCs has been achieved and investigated

Full textIntense development of organicphotovoltaics (OPVs) in the last twenty years led toincreasing photoconversion efficiencies, which are nowabout 14 %. Electron donating (D) and electronaccepting (A) materials used in such solar cells havereceived considerable attention from the academicsaround the world and are still continuously improved.However, those performing materials requirenumerous synthetic steps and the use of toxicchemicals to be produced, which jeopardize their futurecommercialization.In this context, after a first chapter reviewing recentprogresses in OPV, a second chapter will focus on asimple dye, namely the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) andits use in p and n type materials.New molecular DPP-based acceptors weresynthetized and the impact of the solubilizing chainsalong with the -conjugated spacer on theirphotovoltaic properties are discussed. Then, a newDPP and spirobifluorene (SBF) based copolymer wassynthetized by a more environmentally friendlysynthetic route and its photovoltaic properties aredetailed.A third chapter focuses on the benzothioxantheneimide (BTXI), a building block that has not yettriggered much interest in the organic electronicscommunity. Electronic properties of the latter werecharacterized and, after its synthetic pathway wasoptimized, new BTXI based molecular materials weresynthesized and used in organic solar cells andorganic thin-film transistors (OTFTs)

Full textDuring one hour, the Earth receives solar energy which is equivalent to one year of the world energy consumption. For this reason, photovoltaic cells that convert photons to electricity, have a key role to play in the energetic transition imposed by climate change. Dye-sensitized solar cells are one of the emergent technologies that have already been used at the industrial scale in a few examples of building integrating. They represent an esthetic and low-cost alternative compared to silicon solar cells. These hybrid cells also named « Grätzel cells » use a nanostructured inorganic semi-conductor where a dye is grafted onto the surface and acts as a sensitizer. This dye injects electrons after photo-excitation in the oxide. The dye is regenerated by a redox couple present in a liquid electrolyte or a hole transport material that are themselves regenerated by the counter electrode. In this context, this work presents studies about some of the cell constituents (from the semi-conductor to the dye regenerating system). The major part of this thesis concerns the synthesis and the advanced characterization of organic semi-conductors, dyes or hole transport materials, and the study of the structure/properties relations. In particular, the replacement, the substitution, or the rigidification of some functional groups in these structures were achieved and their influence on the properties of the new molecules were studied. The synthesized dyes present maxima of the absorption band at the lowest energy between 440 nm and 610 nm. Energy levels of the new organic materials were determined by cyclic voltammetry and also calculated and localized using the quantum chemistry. Some of the compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. After a complete characterization, these materials were integrated in dye-sensitized photovoltaic devices using a liquid electrolyte to achieve high efficiencies up to 9,78 % using a single dye and up to 10,90 % in the case of the co-sensitization of TiO2 with two dyes. Certain dyes have demonstrated state-of-the-art efficiencies at 7,81 % by replacing the liquid electrolyte by an ionic liquid electrolyte. Moreover, the use of some of the dyes in these last devices was carried out and found to have an excellent stability with a loss of initial efficiency included between 7 % and 38 % after 7000 hours of continuous illumination at 1000 W.m-2 at 65 °C. Finally, first tests were also realized in solid state devices that showed an efficiency of 4,5 % with a reference hole transport material opening new application perspectives after optimizations. In parallel, the new synthesized hole transport materials in this work were effective in perovskite-based cells

Full textLa tendencia del ser humano a lo largo del tiempo es a deteriorar el medio ambiente, al producir algún grado de contaminación al mismo, lo que se conoce como “huella de carbono”. Es claro que no es posible cambiar drásticamente los hábitos de vida, en particular la satisfacción de las necesidades de vestido, que actualmente conlleva el uso de ropa diseñada con nuevas telas, cuya producción involucra procesos altamente contaminantes por la cantidad de agua y colorantes naturales y artificiales que se ocupan, de los cuales, sobresalen los que se clasifican como ácidos y básicos [1]. La industria textil es una de las que más agua consume y contamina, al afectar los mecanismos de fotosíntesis en ríos, lagunas y mares. Actualmente, el planeta presenta severos problemas ambientales relacionados con la contaminación del agua y el aire. En México existe la Norma Oficial NOM-014-ECOL-1993 que regula los niveles de contaminación del agua proveniente de la industria, la cual dictamina que antes de descargar el agua residual a los ríos más cercanos, debe de pasar previamente por plantas tratadoras. Las industrias textiles generan en promedio 200-350 m3 de aguas residuales por tonelada de fibra teñida terminada [2], las cuales son descargadas, después de haber pasado por un tratamiento, en los afluentes; la problemática es que dicho tratamiento no es suficiente para eliminar todos los residuos contaminantes, como los colorantes textiles, lo que representa un enorme problema ambiental [3]. En particular esas aguas residuales se caracterizan por presentar un color intenso, alto pH, alta demanda química de oxígeno y biotoxicidad [4], por ello, es necesario buscar alternativas efectivas para la degradación de los colorantes. lgunas de las alternativas que se han propuesto en los últimos años para resolver esta problemática son biológicas, por medio de enzimas [5], químicas, llamados Procesos Avanzados de Oxidación (PAO´s,), los cuales son la técnica más usada actualmente [6] y físicas, por medio de plasmas. Existe una gran variedad de colorantes textiles pero los que mayormente se usan en la industria son el tipo Azo (Azoico) entre los cuales sobresale el Negro Ácido 52 (Acid Black 52, AB52 por sus siglas en inglés) que se aplica sobre fibras proteicas como la lana y las fibras colorantes de poliamida como el nylon. Este tipo de colorante muestra una resistencia al lavado, lo que lo convierte en un contaminante en las aguas residuales y no puede tratarse por métodos convencionales. En este trabajo se usaron plasmas como medio para tratar el agua con el colorante AB52, este método es posible aplicarlo a bajas presiones, así como a presión atmosférica, produciendo diferentes especies atómicas y moleculares, las cuales son las responsables del proceso de degradación del colorante; además, este proceso destaca sobre otros porque no genera contaminación secundaria.

Full textAlthough organic solid-state dye lasers can provide wavelenght tunability in the whole visible spectrum and offers perpectives of low-cost compact lasers, they are still limited by several drawbacks, especially photodegradation. The geometry of a Vertical External Cavity Surface-emitting Organic Laser (VECSOL) enables organic lasers to reach high energies, excellent conversion efficiences and good beam quality, it also enables an external control on many parameters, a feature that we have udes here to study the photodegradation phenomenon as well as some polarization properties of organic solid-state lasers. In the first part of this thesis, we studied the lifetime of the laser upon varying several parameters (pump pulsewidth, repetition rate, output coupling, ...) and we found that the intracavity laser intensity, independently of the pump intensity, had a major on photodegradation rate. Moreover, we observed that the profile of the laser beam was also degrading with time : while it is Gaussian in the beginning it gradually shifts to an annular shape. In the second part, we investigated the polarization properties of VECSOLs, with a special emphasis on fluorescence properties of some typical dyes used in lasers. The crucial role played by resonant nonradiative energy transfers between dye molecules (HOMO-FRET) is evidenced and enables explaining the observed fluorescence depolarization, compared to the expected limiting fluorescence anisotropy. Energy transfers happen to play a negligible role above laser threshold, as the organic laser beam is shown to be linearly polarized in a wide range of experimental conditions when excitation occurs in the first singlet state

Full textThis work concerns the study of three tinctorial plants: madder, buckthorn and weld. These plant species produced many cultures in Provence and represented the principal raw material in red and yellow dyes for dyers and artists. An optimisation of extraction conditions for madder dyes, using ultrasounds, was carried out with a statistical model. This easy, fast and effective extraction process was compared with two other conventional techniques. A cytohistological study on madder roots permits to examine effects produced by the different extraction processes. Cells reveal, after ultrasonic extraction, profound structural alterations, explaining the high yield in extracted dyes in comparison with classical methods. A fundamental study on the dyes identification extracted from Rhamnus species green fruits was carried out. A chromatographic approach using HPLC-UV-MS permits to identify the flavonol fraction. It is mainly composed of glycosiled compounds where the rhamninosid part is linked in position 3 or 4’ on the flavonol nucleus. 3-O-acetyl-rhamninosid derivatives were also characterised and they are specific to Rh. saxatilis species. Ripe fruits contained anthraquinonic compounds that were separated from flavonols and concentrated using Solid Phase Extraction (SPE). After NMR analyse, acetyl rhamnosid and arabinosid derivatives of émodine, never described in the specialised literature, were identified as emodin-6-O-(3',4'-diacetyl)-arabinopyranosid and emodin-6-O-(2',3',4' triacetyl)-arabinopyranosid were only present in Rh. alaternus. Yellow dyes of weld (Reseda luteola) were analysed by capillary electrophoresis. In comparison with HPLC, a reduced run time was observed while preserving a suitable separation. These experimental results were successfully applied to the study of ancient samples belonging from museums and including “indiennes” of the XIXth century. Finally, dying tests were carried out, in collaboration with Les Olivades society, in the aim to develop textiles containing natural dyes

Full textThe co-occurrence of various pollutants in industrial effluents is one of the most difficult problems the researchers have to face in the field of Environmental Remediation. In this context, the main objective of the present Ph.D. thesis has been to improve the comprehension of the sorption mechanisms involved in the competitive retention of selected organic dyes and inorganic species at the Solid-Liquid interface by using some model sorbents.The manuscript reports the results of advanced sorption studies made by combining several experimental techniques, mainly including kinetic and equilibrium adsorption measurements, XRD diffraction, as well as isothermal titration calorimetry. Three Azo dyes differing in the molecular size, electric charge, and hydrophobic/hydrophilic character, i.e., Methyl Orange (MO), Orange II (OII), and Orange G (OG), were selected for the purpose of this work. Two types of solid materials possessing positively charged surface sites were considered as model sorbents: layered double hydroxide structures based on Mg and Al (molar Mg:Al ratio of 2) with either nitrate (Mg-Al-LDH-NO3) or chloride counter-ions (Mg-Al-LDH-Cl) localized in the interlayer space, on the one hand, and strongly basic anion-exchange resin, Amberlite® IRN-78, on the other hand. The impact of carbonate(IV), sulfate(VI), chromate(VI), and hydrogen phosphate(V) oxyanions on the retention capacity of model sorbents towards the three dyes was also investigated thoroughly.In the first step, the single-component adsorption onto three sorbents was analyzed in regards with the detailed mechanism of retention. In all cases, an ion-exchange pathway between the pristine compensating anions (NO3-, Cl-, OH-) or anions coming from the ambient atmosphere (e.g., carbonates) and the oncoming anionic species was identified as the principal retention mechanism. In the case of LDH sorbents, this anion exchange was accompanied by the intercalation of the adsorbing species within the interlayer space with the concomitant changes in the layered structure, as inferred from the XRD study of the LDH samples loaded with the appropriate solute species. The retention of monovalent MO anions, both from the single-solute and bi-solute solutions, was found to exceed the anionic exchange capacity (AEC) of the LDH samples, which was ascribed to the dye adsorption on the external surface paralleled by the co-adsorption of sodium cations. The adsorption capacity was demonstrated to depend strongly on the hydrophilic-hydrophilic character of the dye units and their capacity of generating lateral interactions (e.g., pi-stacking) with other adsorbed species within the LDH structure. The use of isothermal calorimetry allowed the unusual shape of the curve representing the cumulative enthalpy of displacement to be attributed to the formation of OII aggregates/fibers induced by the presence of Mg and Al cations originating from the partial dissolution of the LDH sample. Competitive adsorption of dye and selected inorganic anions on the three model sorbents was studied in the second step in view of increasing the efficiency of dyes removal by optimizing experimental conditions. One of the main achievements was to categorize the dye uptake schemes in the presence of inorganic anions in regards with the shape of the experimental adsorption isotherms and to correlate them with the individual adsorbate affinities for the LDH sample, as inferred from the calorimetry measurements of the cumulative enthalpy of displacement in single-solute systems. The discussion on the mechanisms of dye retention in the single- and multi-component systems was supplemented by experimental studies of such applicative aspects of sorption phenomena as kinetics, reversibility, and selectivity.Keywords: Layered double hydroxides, anion-exchange resin, Methyl Orange, Orange II, Orange G, Cr(VI), inorganic anions, single-solute and multi-solute adsorption, XRD study, isotherm titration calorimetry

Full textDuring this thesis, boron complexes and π-stacking mediator planar moieties have been synthetized for photovoltaic applications. Thanks to the use of triazatruxene units on β-pyrrolic positions of a BODIPY core, the solar cells photoconversion efficiency has been increased. The BOPHY moiety, a di-nuclear boron complex, has been functionalized and optoelectronically studied. The first example of the use of BOPHY in organic solar cells has been performed. Two families of BODIPYs have also been prepared to be used in dye-sensitized solar cells. A new record of photoconversion efficiency for BODIPY based solar cells has been reached using a co-adsorption of two dyes having complementary absorptions within a unique solar cell

Full textOn a global scale, the share of renewable energies in the energy mix is constantly increasing. Based on the principle of photosynthesis, Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells are an emerging technology for Building Integration Photovoltaic (BIPV). These hybrid cells use an inorganic semiconductor oxide whose surface is covered with an organic dye. The absorption of the incident light by this dye will cause the injection of an electron from the photo-excited state of the molecule into the conduction band of the oxide. A redox mediator present in the electrolyte will regenerate the oxidized dye and generate a current under illumination. The dyes already described in the literature shows efficiencies reaching 14%. On the other hand, very few of these materials can absorb up to the near infrared range (NIR) (700-1000 nm). Thereby, the absorption of the NIR spectral range could lead to a greater photo-generated current density. In this context, this work presents a complete study of new panchromatic dyes extending into the near infrared range. For this study, the "donor-acceptor" approach was used to obtain the desired optoelectronic properties. A first family based on benzothiadiazole derivatives has been developed leading to very good absorption properties in the NIR region (absorption up to 925 nm). The optical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of these materials have been studied in order to understand the limitations for solar cell applications. Following this, a new dye family based on isoindigo derivatives was synthesized and studied by UV-Visible spectroscopy, electrochemistry and DFT simulation. These compounds strongly absorbs in the UV-visible and NIR spectral range up to 848 nm. The dyeing bath composition and the electrolyte formulation were optimized in order to obtain a device conversion efficiency of 5.76%. Photophysical measurements have allowed us to have a fine understanding of the limiting factors of these dyes. On the basis of this observation, we improved the structure of one of the dye and witg this new molecule we reached a power conversion efficiency of 7.0% with a UV-Visible and near infrared absorption for the solar cell. In the last part of this work we have also obtained preliminary results employing various alternative materials to the TiO2/iodine system

Several commercial activated carbons (AC) and sewage sludge based activated carbons (SBAC) were tested with several phenols and one dye as pollutants. Despite low BET surface SBAC exhibits convenient adsorption properties. Photocatalysis on TiO2 was carried out with several materials to achieve activated carbon adsorption- egeneration process: a multilayer tissue with fixed granular AC and TiO2 on a sheet, a composite with TiO2, CVD deposited on AC, and AC-TiO2 powder mixture for comparison. Promising results were obtained especially with TiO2 deposited on AC proving the vicinity of adsorption and photocatalytic sites to be beneficial

Full textThroughout this thesis, new organometallic dyes have been developed to use them as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), whose simplicity of implementation, low cost production and attractive design are major assets. Black dye analogues were first developed, a thorough study of DFT calculations allowed a more constructive approach to the choice of molecular designs. Biomass-derived aldehydes such as vanillin, syringaldehyde or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural have been used to substitute the terpyridine ligand by different (hetero)aromatic groups in the 4’ position in order to modulate charge transfers. In a second step, a hexyloxymethyl chain was introduced in the 4'' position with the aim of reduce charge recombination during the solar cell operation and in the same time to place the LUMO closer to the anchoring groups for better charge injections to the semiconductor. The use of cyanoacrylate groups was also considered in place of the carboxylic acids in order to obtain more panchromatic absorptions. [Ru(tpy)2] and [Ru(tpy)(bpy)NCS] complexes have also been synthesized and studied for their increased stability over time in the solar cell compared to the NCS ligand complexes. Some dyes have been tested in solar cells in combination of titanium dioxide as the semiconductor and the I3-/I- couple as the redox mediator

Thesis, Lille 1, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LIL1R061/document.
Full textAmong all the renewable energy sources, solar energy is the most powerful source far ahead wind or geothermal energies. The first key component of DSSCs is the photosensitizer. It is through this component that the most important steps of photocurrent generation are possible. On the other hand, ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as electrolyte for DSSCs due to their peculiar properties: low vapor pressure, high thermal and chemical robustness, tunability of polarity and phase behaviour etc. The objective of this thesis was to get an understanding of the photophysics in the indoline derivated dyes in molecular solvents (MS) and in the IL/MS mixtures. Firstly, the solvent dependence of the spectroscopic properties of D131, D102, D149 and D205 was studied by the steady-state UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Then, time-resolved spectroscopy was used to elucidate their photophysics and its solvent dependence. These experiments helped to discern the influence of the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor abilities of the solvent. The solvation dynamics was shown to play a major role in the excited state dynamics of these dyes. This process in IL/MS mixtures was elucidated using the classic fluorescent probe C153 by the means of time-resolved spectroscopy and MD simulations. The complex multi-regime solvation response in these systems was shown to be shaped by the strengthening of the hydrogen bonding between the probe and the mixture components. The results of this thesis work contribute to the fundamental understanding of the photodynamics of the sensitizer and the response of the electrolyte used in the DSSCs

Full textRubbers or mostly polymers are exposed to different attacks from the surroundings during their uses. Two factors are known to be among the most important involved during aging: atmospheric oxygen and UV-visible radiation from the sun, leading to the phenomenon of photo-oxidation. Photo-ageing is governed by the light penetration and diffusion of oxygen, which involve the formation of an oxidative layer on the first microns at the surface of the material. The main objective of this thesis is to point out the relationship between the changes in the chemical structure due to the formation of the oxidative layer and the loss of mechanical properties during photo-aging of vulcanised rubber in the presence of fillers such as titanium dioxide and organic dye by means of a multi-techniques and multi-scale approach.To achieve this goal, we first simplified the vulcanized material and we focused only on the matrix and fillers. This first step allowed us to determine the influence of fillers on the mechanisms of photo-oxidation of unvulcanised rubber. This study helped to better understand more complex materials such as vulcanised rubbers. In the second study, we focused on the physic-chemical characterization of the degraded layer formed during irradiation of vulcanised rubber. After that, we compared the results with the loss of the mechanical properties observed during aging. This study highlighted a link between the changes of the chemical structure related to the properties of the oxidized layer and the loss of the mechanical properties

Full textThis work reports a series of dumbbell-shaped molecules based on phthalocyanine with an electro-donating character, to be used in organic solar cells. More particularly, the molecules are fully-conjugated triads, made of two zinc phthalocyanine fragments separated by a rigid central dye of different nature (derivative of benzothiadiazole, isoindigo or diketopyrrolopyrrole). The synthesis of the materials was optimized by varying the type of the cross-coupling reactions. The properties of the molecules (absorption, energy levels, structure, charge transport and photovoltaic) were investigated as function of the nature of the central dye and the peripheral ramified chains on the phthalocyanine fragments

Full textThe thesis work deals with three families of π-conjugated molecules and particularly focuses on amino-azacalixarenes and phenazine derivatives as well as a new class of aromatic tetraazamacrocycles named “azacalixphyrin”. Since these compounds are emerging in the literature, we have deliberately focused our efforts on their synthesis and on the physico-chemical studies of these new π-conjugated systems in order to, when it is appropriate, establish structure / properties relationships. The synthetic accesses to these compounds are mainly based on aromatic nucleophilic substitutions. All these derivatives are potentially new molecular tools for various applications in the fields of energy, materials and medicines

Full text[ES] En la presente Tesis Doctoral se estudió la reactividad de un conjunto de contaminantes emergentes (CE) presentes en aguas naturales de salida de depuradoras urbanas y la posibilidad de implementar un proceso foto-Fenton en condiciones de pH ligeramente ácidas empleando sustancias solubles bio-orgánicas (SBO) como auxiliares químicos. En primer lugar se realizó un estudio mecanístico para indagar sobre el papel desarrollado por diversas especies reactivas, generadas fotoquímicamente mediante procesos de oxidación avanzada, en la oxidación de una mezcla de contaminantes emergentes. Entre estas especies oxidantes se encuentra el radical hidroxilo (OH.), el oxígeno singlete (1O2), y los estados excitados de los fotocatalizadores capaces de actuar en procesos de transferencia electrónica. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el proceso de degradación de los CE mediante foto-Fenton es demasiado complejo para poder ser explicado únicamente mediante la reacción directa del radical OH. Posiblemente, tras ser generado, el radical OH reacciona con las especies presentes en el medio de forma que se generan radicales de vida larga que contribuyen a la degradación de los CE o bien inicia procesos en cadena. El rosa de bengala, conocido generador de 1O2, mostró muy baja reactividad con los CE en condiciones fotoquímicas. Este hecho unido a los bajos valores obtenidos para las constantes de reacción del 1O2 con los CE, nos indica que la degradación mediante reacción con oxígeno singlete a estas concentraciones es muy ineficiente. Los estudios de los procesos de transferencia electrónica empleando trifenilpirilio (TPP+) y trifeniltiopirilio (TPTP+) muestran que la degradación de los CE se produce desde los estados excitados singlete y triplete de los fotocatalizadores, obteniéndose unos resultados ligeramente superiores mediante el empleo del TPTP+. Los SBO son materiales extraídos de la fracción húmeda de los residuos urbanos. Estas sustancias están constituidas por una mezcla de macromoléculas con un amplio rango de tamaños que oscila de 67 a 463 kgmol-1. Además su composición química presenta similitudes estructurales con algunas sustancias que se encuentran en la materia orgánica natural y que han sido empleadas en procesos fotoquímicos solares para el tratamiento de aguas residuales. La caracterización de los SBO ha demostrado que estas sustancias son biocompatibles, estables tras 24 horas de irradiación y capaces de mejorar la eficiencia del foto-Fenton en condiciones de pH ligeramente ácidas. Los resultados obtenidos en la optimización de las variables operacionales en el proceso foto-Fenton en presencia de SBO sugieren que se ha producido una modificación en el mecanismo del proceso foto-Fenton de forma que se ha desplazado el valor óptimo de pH desde 2,8 a valores cercanos a 4. Por tanto el radical hidroxilo puede no ser la especie principal y entrar en juego otras especies que no han podido ser identificadas con certeza debido a la complejidad del proceso. Los SBO son capaces de generar especies reactivas, sin embargo se ha de llegar a un equilibrio entre la generación de especies reactivas y el efecto filtro producido por su acusada coloración, así como por la competencia de los propios SBO por las especies reactivas generadas.
[CAT] En la present Tesi Doctoral es va estudiar la reactivitat d'un conjunt de contaminants emergents (CE) presents en aigües d'eixida de depuradores urbanes i la possibilitat d'implementar un procés foto-Fenton en condicions de pH lleugerament àcides emprant substàncies solubles bio-orgàniques (SBO) com auxiliars químics. En primer lloc es va realitzar un estudi mecanístic per indagar sobre el paper desenvolupat per diverses espècies reactives, generades fotoquímicament mitjançant processos d'oxidació avançada, en l'oxidació d'una mescla de contaminants emergents. Entre aquestes espècies oxidants es troba el radical hidroxil (OH), l'oxigen singlet (1O2), i els estats excitats dels fotocatalitzadors capaços de actuar per processos de transferència electrònica. Els resultats obtinguts mostren que el procés de degradació dels CE mitjançant foto-Fenton és massa complex per poder ser explicat únicament per la reacció directa del radical OH. Possiblement després de ser generat, el radical OH reacciona amb les espècies presents en el medi de manera que es generen radicals de vida llarga que contribueixen a la degradació dels CE o bé inicia processos en cadena. El rosa de bengala, conegut generador de 1O2, va mostrar molt baixa reactivitat amb els CE en condicions fotoquímiques. Aquest fet unit als baixos valors obtinguts per a les constants de reacció del 1O2 amb els CE, ens indica que la degradació mitjançant reacció amb oxigen singlet a aquestes concentracions és molt ineficient. Els estudis dels processos de transferència electrònica utilitzant trifenilpirili (TPP+) i trifeniltiopirili (TPTP+) mostren que la degradació dels CE es produeix per mitjà dels estats excitats singlet i triplet dels fotocatalitzadors, obtenint uns resultats lleugerament superiors mitjançant l'ús del TPTP+. Els SBO són materials obtinguts de la fracció humida dels residus urbans. Aquestes substàncies estan constituïdes per una barreja de macromolècules amb un ampli rang de pesos moleculars que van de 67 a 463 kgmol-1. A més la seva composició química presenta similituds estructurals amb algunes substàncies que es troben en la matèria orgànica natural i que han sigut utilitzades en processos fotoquímics solars per al tractament d'aigües residuals. La caracterització dels SBO ha demostrat que aquestes substàncies són biocompatibles, estables després de 24 hores d'irradiació i son capaços de millorar l'eficiència del foto-Fenton en condicions lleugerament àcides. Els resultats obtinguts en l'optimització de les variables operacionals en el procés foto-Fenton en presència de SBO semblen suggerir que s'ha produït una modificació en el mecanisme de manera que s'ha desplaçat el valor òptim de pH des 2,8 a valors propers a 4. Pertant el radical hidroxil deixa de ser l'espècie principal i entren en joc altres espècies que no han pogut ser identificades amb certesa a causa de la complexitat del procés. Els SBO són capaços de generar espècies reactives, però s'ha d'arribar a un equilibri entre la generació d'espècies reactives i l'efecte filtre produït per la seua acusada coloració, així com per la competència dels propis SBO per les espècies reactives generades.

Full textA new photosensitive family of boron difluoride complex is developed. It is based on π-conjugated molecular structures containing β-diketonates unit.The wide variety of aromatic groups and the nature of donor or electron acceptor of the different substituents allow the development of electron donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) and donor-acceptor (DA) electronic systems.The electronic absorption of this family of molecules is in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and a portion of the ultraviolet spectrum, and is characterized by an intense π-π* absorption band with molar absorption coefficient greater than 50 000 M-1.cm-1.The fluorescence emission covers a spectral range going from visible to near infrared, with relatively high fluorescence quantum yields of up to 62 % in solution.This new material family is photochemically stable and, unlike some other families of boron difluoride complexes, chemically very stable in solution

Organic colorants are essential for production of paints, inks and toners etc. The reduction of particle size would improve the stability, color strength, contrast, and transmittance. In this study, we apply two microemulsion systems (o/w、w/o) incorporated with temperature changing process and solvent diffusion process to micronize and disperse four colorants: Disperse Red 60、Pigment Red 177、Pigment Green 36、Pigment Blue 15:6. Based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) results, the sizes of disperse red 60 were dramatically reduced to 3.5*1(length*width)~5*1μm and 2*0.6~5*1.3μm by temperature changing process in water / Benzyl alcohol / SDS and DMSO / Cyclohexane / AOT system respectively, which the size of the original was about 80*15-200*30μm. However, the crystal morphology remained rod-like. The transmittance profiles refered that re-crystallized particles gained remarkably transmittance enhancement compared to that of the suppplied one. In solvent diffusion process, components of three phases were changed to water / Benzyl alcohol / SDS=10/10.5/5 (wt%). Sizes of particles tended to be larger from slow adding rate:10*6~30*10μm (50g/35mins)、15*2~40*4μm (100g/35mins)。 Partice sizes of pigment red 177 were reduced from 269.7nm to 201nm after processing with DMSO / AOT / Heptane microemulsion. For pigment green 36 in w/o microemulsions at four different temperatures (25℃、40℃、60℃、80℃), it was found that particles tended to aggregate as temperature increased. The results at 25℃ were listed below. Changes of particle sizes after 0、1、3、6 days of dispersion for each system are DMSO / AOT / Heptane:214.7、210.9、234.4、263.1(nm) and DMSO / AOT / Cyclohexane:261.6、281.5、279.2、296.4(nm) whereas sizes of the original pigment were 297.2、282.5、316.7、457.9(nm). These results have proved that the microemulsion method could efficiently make pigment particles dispersed. In addition, we tried to disperse pigment particles in microemulsions with variable surfactant concentrations. And similar transmittance results of pigment blue 15:6 were obtained in DMSO / AOT / Isooctane system (wt%:2/28/20、2/28/30). At 500nm wavelength, the transmittance was about 98.9% which is 20.0-20.2% raised from the original one (80.9%).

Full textModern and contemporary objects made of plastics are widely found in cultural heritage. Today, their preser- vation poses critical issues to conservators and scientists, as they can suffer from extensive degradation in a short time period. Color change (discoloration) is one of the alteration phenomena that can significantly affect their appearance. Discoloration is commonly associated with the degradation of polymers. However, pigments within plastics can also fade due to exposure to light. The identification of objects that contain light-sensitive pigments is demanding because of the sensitivity of plastics to color change. Normally sampling, extraction methods and destructive testing are required for the characterization of colorants in plastics. In this work, an innovative multi-analytical spectroscopic approach for the in situ identification of pigments in historical plastics was developed. Optical microscopy (MO), micro-energy dispersive X-ray fluo- rescence (μ-EDXRF), UV-Vis-NIR reflectance, photoluminescence (PL) and Raman microscopy (μ-Raman), were used for the analysis of artworks, industrial and daily objects dated from 1950s-2000s from Portuguese collections. A common colorists’ palette within the Portuguese plastics industry was identified: iron oxide (PR 101, α-Fe2O3), lead chromate molybdate (PR 104, Pb(Cr,Mo,S)O4), cadmium red (PR 108, Cd(S,Se); PR 113, (Cd,Hg)S) and cadmium yellow (PY 37, CdS; PY 35; (Cd,Zn)S) pigments, titanium whites (PW 6, TiO2 both rutile and anatase), bismuth oxychloride (PW 14, BiOCl) and organic β-naphthol lakes (PR 48, PR 49, PR 53). An exceptional pigment found was the pearlescent plumbonacrite pigment Pb5(CO3)3O(OH)2. In all the case studies, μ-Raman was the key analytical tool for pigment characterization in the plastic objects, providing conclusive data for their identification. The vibrational fingerprint of both inorganic and organic pigments was successfully recorded by focusing the laser beam on particle surfaces. The confocal microscopy system used in μ-Raman enabled the collection of spectral data from low concentrations of pigments (ap- proximately 0.1%-5%) on the micro-scale. In addition to pigments, information on the base polymer (mainly thermoplastics) and fillers was obtained. The analytical methods developed will facilitate the acquisition of complementary data from plastics allowing material identification and condition assessment in the future. This thesis focused on red pigmented plastic artifacts, as they were found to be severely faded among the studied objects. The identification of β-naphthol pigment lake PR 53 as a faded pigment highlighted its poor fastness in plastics, that together with the color change of PR 48 in plastic objects, reported in literature, suggests the particular susceptibility of β-naphthol red lakes to fading. PR 53, and the other β-naphthol reds, are historical pigments widely found in cultural heritage. However, little is known about their photodegradation and stability, especially when they are found in polymer media, and this knowledge is essential for their long- term preservation. For the first time, photodegradation quantum yields (ΦR) were calculated for a series of red pigments based on β-naphthol in order to quantify their photo-stability. ΦR values ranging from 3x10-6 to 4x10-5 were obtained, indicating relatively light-stable molecules. Bearing in mind that pigment fastness is not only related to the pigment itself, but also to its interaction with the confined environment, light-aging experiments (λ>300 nm) were conducted in solution, on powders, and in polymers to assess the role of the medium on the lightfastness of the pigments and their degradation pathways. A significant impact of the binder on their stability was found. Indeed, a higher sensitivity to light of PR 48 and PR 53 pigments, when incorporated in plastics than in powder, was observed. This new knowledge will contribute to the prediction of plastic fading and inform effective preventive conservation strategies for objects containing light- sensitive β-naphthol red pigments. Liquid- and gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (MS) were used for the characterization of the main degradation products. Extensive photodegradation was observed with the formation of phthalic compounds and phthalates in both solution and powder phases.

Visible light photoredox catalysis (VLPC) was utilized in the synthesis of perimidine derivatives 36a-36c and 40. The structure-activity relationship between the amine of perimidine and this visible-light-mediated oxidation was investigated. Our studies suggest that this oxidation reaction can only occur when the amino group on perimidine is a secondary amine and has no electron-withdrawing substituent attached to it. Also, a novel benzoxazole-based photochromic colorant 77 was designed and synthesized via a microwave-promoted reaction. When dissolved in methylene chloride, compound 77 is yellow and highly fluorescent, it turns purple and non-fluorescent upon UV irradiation (254 nm). The photogenerated product can revert back to 77 when either being heated or exposed to light with a longer wavelength. The UV-vis spectra suggest that there is an intramolecular charge transfer between the donor aniline and the acceptor o-nitrophenyl group.

Part I. Rational design of a triketone-derived acidichromic and solvatochromic colorant Two unique properties of triketone (2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) derivatives, that is, sensitive to both pH and solvents, have been successfully applied in design and synthesis of a novel acidichromic and solvatofluorochromic colorant. Under neutral conditions, compound 3 is orange red due to the highly conjugated system, however, it turns to yellow when a base (NaOMe) is added and changes to colorless when exposed to gaseous hydrochloric acid. Furthermore, compound 3 also displays solvatochromic and solvatofluorochromic properties in solvents with different polarities. Part II. Design and Synthesis of a potential coumarin derived organic emitting diode (OLED) material The coumrarin-based heterocyclic compound A has been chemically synthesized in 6 steps with the overall yield of 23%. The key step involved 4,5 and 6. This compound displays good photoluminescence with a green-blue light which has the potential to server as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) dopent.
