A simple deep-ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrophotometer based on ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) was developed for the detection of air-borne toluene with a good sensitivity. A fiber-coupled deep UV-LED was employed as a light source, and a spectrometer was used as a detector with a gas cell in between. 3D printed opto-fluidics connectors were designed to integrate the gas flow with UV light. Two types of hollow core waveguides (HCW) were tested as gas cells: a glass capillary tube with aluminum-coated inner walls and an aluminum capillary tube. The setup was tested for different toluene concentrations (10–100 ppm), and a linear relationship was observed with sensitivities of 0.20 mA·U/ppm and 0.32 mA·U/ppm for the glass and aluminum HCWs, respectively. The corresponding limits of detection were found to be 8.1 ppm and 12.4 ppm, respectively.

The AlGaN-based ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) structures with AlN as buffer were grown on sapphire substrate by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE). A series of cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra were measured from the cross section of the UV-LED structure using point-by-point sampling to investigate the origins of the broad parasitic emissions between 300 and 400 nm, and they were found to come from the n-type AlGaN and AlN layers rather than p-type AlGaN. The parasitic emissions were effectively suppressed by adding an n-type AlN as the hole-blocking layer. Electroluminescence (EL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements have revealed that the interface abruptness and crystalline quality of the UV-LED structure are essential for the achievement of the EL emissions from the multiple quantum wells (MQWs).

This report investigated the photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol using TiO2nanofibers and Ag-doped TiO2nanofibers, synthesized using the sol-gel and electrospinning techniques, and an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) system as a UV light source. The crystallite size of the Ag-doped TiO2nanofibers was smaller than that of the TiO2nanofibers, because silver retrained phase transformation not only controls the phase transformation but also inhibits the growth of anatase crystallites. The activation energies for the grain growth of the TiO2nanofibers and the Ag-doped TiO2nanofibers were estimated to be 20.84 and 27.01 kJ/mol, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation rate followed a pseudo-first-order equation. The rate constants (k) of the TiO2nanofibers and the Ag-doped TiO2nanofibers were 0.056 and 0.144 min−1, respectively.
