Preparation and optical characteristics of layered perovskite-type lead-bromide-incorporated azobenzene chromophores
摘要:
Lead bromide-based layered perovskite powders with azobenzene derivatives were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method. From the diffuse reflectance (DR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the hybrid powder materials, the present hybrids exhibited sharp absorption and PL peaks originating from excitons produced in the PbBr42- layer. When the present hybrid powder was irradiated with UV light at 350 nm, the absorption band from the trans-azobenzene chromophore, observed around 350 nm, decreased, while the absorption band from the cis-azobenzene chromophore, observed around 450 nm, increased. These results indicate that azobenzene chromophores in the present hybrid materials exhibit reversible photoisomerization. Moreover, it was found that the PL intensity from the exciton also varied due to photoisomerization of the azobenzene chromophores in the present hybrid. Thus, for the first time we succeeded in preparing the azobenzene derivative lead-bromide-based layered perovskite with photochromism before and after UV light irradiation. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

A new redox-active ionicliquid (2-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)ethyl)-1-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([ABEMIM][BF4]) is demonstrated. It is incorporated into another ionicliquid ([EMIM][BF4]) to form a mixed IL electrolyte, which can markedly improve the capacitance performance of carbon-based supercapacitors via extra pseudocapacitance contribution. It opens up a new path to develop high-energy
