AbstractDetection of electromagnetic signals for applications such as health, product quality monitoring or astronomy requires highly responsive and wavelength selective devices. Photomultiplication-type organic photodetectors have been shown to achieve high quantum efficiencies mainly in the visible range. Much less research has been focused on realizing near-infrared narrowband devices. Here, we demonstrate fully vacuum-processed narrow- and broadband photomultiplication-type organic photodetectors. Devices are based on enhanced hole injection leading to a maximum external quantum efficiency of almost 2000% at −10 V for the broadband device. The photomultiplicative effect is also observed in the charge-transfer state absorption region. By making use of an optical cavity device architecture, we enhance the charge-transfer response and demonstrate a wavelength tunable narrowband photomultiplication-type organic photodetector with external quantum efficiencies superior to those of pin-devices. The presented concept can further improve the performance of photodetectors based on the absorption of charge-transfer states, which were so far limited by the low external quantum efficiency provided by these devices.

The dehydrogenation of 1,4-dihydronaphthalene by tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone in phenetole solution has been investigated. The present work does not fully confirm earlier studies which report that the reaction follows second-order kinetics and that the hydride ion transfer is rate determining. In the investigations described in this paper second-order kinetics are only observed in the later stages of the reaction and a 1:1 stoichiometry of the reactants in the process is not obtained. Substitution of tritium in the 1,4-positions of the hydrocarbon appears to not significantly affect the reaction rate. The present results indicate that charge-transfer complexes are formed in the reaction and it is suggested that electron transfer within these complexes could be the rate-determining step in the dehydrogenation.

Contact electrification occurs when two isolated objects come into contact. Such a phenomenon led humans to first realization of the existence of electricity. Until now, the main causes of the triboelectric charging phenomenon have generally been thought to be the transfer of electrons, ions, and materials. This article, however, is limited to electron transfer on the surface, which is regarded as a general case not limited to specific situations. The contact between two objects occurs between the two surfaces; therefore, the surface properties of the material under examination are the most important properties in triboelectric charge transfer. The surface properties may include the types of materials in contact, their energy states, the roughnesses of their surfaces, and their elastic moduli. In this regard, we introduce here the current understanding of the energy band structures involved in the different types of materials, the method of measurement, an analysis of surface charges, and related applications.

The MOF shows charge-transfer sensitized Eu(iii) emission and spontaneous/photoinduced guest-to-host electron transfer, which allow chromic and luminescent sensing of NH3 (luminescence turn-off) and O2 (luminescence turn-on).
