Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been considered as an efficient method to deposit high quality and uniform thin films of various electron transport materials for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, the effect sequence in ALD process aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) on performance stability PSCs is investigated. Particularly, surface AZO film terminated by diethylzinc (DEZ)/H2O (AZO-1) or trim...

Azo dye derivatives of azobenzene constitute the largest group of dyes used in the textile industry and possess recalcitrant chemical groups, such as those of azo and sulphonic acid. Some microorganisms are able to degrade these aromatic compounds. In the present work, decolourisation of culture media containing azo dyes by the ligninolytic fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was achieved under ...

This study makes a comparison between Fenton, Fenton-like, photo-Fenton and photo-Fenton-like treatment methods to investigate the removal of two acid dyes. The two selected acid dyes are C.I. Acid Orange 8 (AO8) and C.I. Acid Red 17 (AR17). These were chosen as model organic contaminants. The effect of operating parameters, such as amount of Fenton’s reagent (H2O2 and Fe) and Fenton’s-like rea...

Azo dyes represent the world’s largest and most diverse group of synthetic dyes with uses spanning almost every industry (Pandey et al. 2007). Their significance to public health is great as these globally produced dyes have been proven to be carcinogenic upon biodegrading into their aromatic amines (Harmse 2013). But aside from their carcinogenic properties, azo dyes have another dangerous eff...

BACKGROUND A series of recently reported phenolic azo dyes 7a-e were prepared by coupling the thienyl diazonium sulfate of 3-Amino-4H-benzo[f]thieno[3,4-c](2H)chromen-4-one with selected diversely substituted phenolic and naphtholic derivatives. These compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Furthermore their voltammetric behavior was compared at a glassy carb...

Abstract The preparation 0f azo dyes is the subject of this research. 4-hydroxycoumarin with each ofo-amino benzoic acid (3-[o-Amino acidazo]-4-hydroxycoumarin]) (B 1 ) and Sulfa guanidine (3-[Sulfa azo]-4-hydroxycoumarin) 2 were syntheses. Azo compounds characterized by I.R, CHN, H-NMR Elctronic Mass spectroscopy. At various pH levels, electronic spectra these investigated in terms acid-base p...

Photo-induced reversible sorption of azo dyes on titania xerogels is observed, which is based on the photo-switchable change of the acetylacetonato anchors in the xerogels. The photoisomerization of azo compounds that regulates many gate-keeper-like host-guest interaction systems is excluded as the determinant.

Supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) are of high interest in both nanoscience and molecular diagnostics and therapeutics, because of their reversible and designable properties. To ensure colloidal stabilization and biocompatibility, most reported strategies require the use of hydrophilic long-chain polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol). Here, we show the formation of zwitterionic supramolecular...
