Organic photodiode for detection of herbicides in water using microalgal photosynthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growing interest for monitoring the quality of water has triggered the need of fast, portable and cheap detection systems. To answer this problematic, we developed a lab on a chip for herbicide detection based on micro algal photosynthesis. A blue organic light-emitting diode is used as the excitation source while the resulting algae luminescence is monitored using an organic photodiode (OPD). During the OPD optimization process, a correlation between fullerene acceptor concentration and dark current was supposed. Using a blend of DTS(PTTh2)2:PC60BM without interfacial layers result in dark current lower than 10 mA/cm2 at -2 V and EQE higher than 50% in the region of interest.

The properties of the prepared magnetic sorbent were characterized using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), vibrating sample magnetome...
متن کاملAlgal Biosensor-Based Measurement System for Rapid Toxicity Detection
Microalgae are now widely used as relevant biological indicators in the field of environmental impact studies. Owing to their ubiquity, short life cycles, easiness of culture and high sensitivity to a number of pollutants, these organisms are frequently utilized in ecotoxicological screening of contaminated freshwater (Lewis, 1995). As primary producers, either directly or indirectly, of organi...
