Photocatalysis is the rate increase of a chemical reaction by light, often in the presence of a catalyst that starts the reaction upon irradiation. Photocatalysts are typically semiconducting metal oxides such as ZnO, Fe2O3 or TiO2 which are employed as p

In this application note, emission properties of a phosphorescent organic light emitting diode (PhOLED) are investigated using an FS5 Spectrofluorometer equipped with the electroluminescence accessory. The spectrum and chromaticity coordinates of the PhOL

Semicrystalline polymers are the largest group of commercially produced plastics. Heating and cooling of these polymers between phase transitions is used industrially to shape polymers into their final product. In this application note the RMS1000, with a

Cooking oils are one of the main components of the human diet. Adulteration of extra virgin olive oil with cheaper oils is a common problem in food fraud. This application note highlights how Raman spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics can be used

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have unique tuneable photoluminescence properties which lend them to a range of important technological applications including solid-state lighting, displays, photovoltaics, and biomedical imaging. Indium phosphide (InP) Q

Heterometallic metal halide hybrids hold great promise due to the potential for synergistic photo-physical properties depending on the choice of the constituent metal centres. In this application note time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) with the FL

Forensic investigations often study extremely small samples which may need analysed by multiple techniques. Confocal Raman and Photoluminescence (PL) Microscopy are well-suited techniques for dealing with such samples. This application note details how Ra

In this application note find out how an FS5 spectrofluorometer is used to identify Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Available: https://www.edinst.com/identifying-thermally-activated-delayed-fluorescence-tadf-using-an-fs5-spectrofluorometer

In this application note, we demonstrate how transient absorption spectroscopy and temperature-dependent measurements can be employed to investigate and understand the nature of photoexcited triplet states of a molecule. Available: https://www.edinst.com/
