Photophysical studies in solutions, gels, films and other environments.  The interaction of UV-visible and IR radiation with matter has been studied in solutions, gels, films and other pure, mixed or  nanocomposite  environments.   Studies extend on molecular and macromolecular species, complexes, atoms and semiconductor nanoparticles.   Recent works include studies on lasing and amplified spontaneous emission [2-4,6,7,23,36,45,61,68,70,72,78-82,86,89,90,92-97,99-102,104,107,110-114,117,119-121,124,125,127,132,134-136].

 

Use of organic templates for growing semiconductor nanoparticles for photophysical and photochemical applications.  Studies have been focused on the formation of  the II-VI family semiconductor nanoparticles (e.g. CdS)  as well as metal oxides  (e.g. TiO2).   We have exploited surfactant and polymer self-assembly  to make isolated nanoparticles as well as mesoporous matrices and thin films [29-31,37,67,74,85,87,103,105,108,118,122,126131]. 

 

Study of nanocomposite organic/inorganic materials  and their applications.  Synthesis of materials by the sol-gel route, their characterization and the study of some of their applications has been realized for nanocomposite organic/inorganic matrices and thin films.  Such materials are used as hosts of photophysically  acting molecules or semiconductors,  as electrolyte supports in photoelectrochemical cells, as templates for the controlled growth of  semiconductor photocatalysts etc [56,60,61,67,68,74,82,85-87,89,93,95,97,99,102,105,108,110,112,114,115,121-123,125,127-135].

 

Colloids and Surfaces  The laboratory  studies molecular self organization  in solution and gels  by employing,  mainly, fluorescence probing and other assisting techniques.  Studies carried so far out treat  micelles, microemulsions, reverse micelles,  polymer surfactant interaction,  block copolymers, gels, lipid vesicles, biological macromolecules and biological membranes  [1-28, 32-35, 39-44, 46, 48-55, 57-59, 63-66,69,71,75-77,83,84,88,91,98,106,109,116]   Models for analyses of fluorescence probing data   have also been constructed  in our laboratory [32-35,38-44,46-48,50,51,53,58,59,62,64,73,110,133].

 

Photoluminescence and  Electroluminescence  of  organic ligand-lanthanide  complexes.   Complexes between lanthanide ions and organic ligands have been studied in solution  and in nanocomposite  organic/inorganic materials,  both in bulk and in thin films.   A recent activity is the study of electroluminescent cells based on  these complexes [90,96,97,99,101,113,117,125,127,134.136]

 

Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells.   In our laboratory we have made dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells exclusively composed of solid materials.  They are based on TiO2 nanostructured films,  a dye sensitizer for absorption of visible radiation  and a nanocomposite organic/inorganic  gel electrolyte.  Photovoltaic prototypes  actually have an IPCE of 100%  and an overall efficiency of 5%  [81,108,118,123,128-131,133].

 

Mesoporous TiO2 films used for photocatalytic degradation of adsorbed dyes.   This is a recent activity aiming at the characterization of nanostructured oxide semiconductors as  photocatalytic agents for air purification using solar radiation [85,122]
