In this article, we report on the formation of a photocatalytic porphyrin crystalline structure using two oppositely charged commercially available low cost porphyrins, [meso-tetra(N-methy-4-pyridyl)porphyrin tetratosylate (TMPyP) and zinc-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (Zn-TPPS)], by self-assembly at room temperature without acidification. Using optical microscopy, the crystals were determined to have a length of 30–55 μm and width of 2–50 μm, depending on the molar ratio of the porphyrins in the starting solution. The porphyrin crystals were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction and UV–Vis, fluorescence, and optical microscopic techniques. The UV–Vis absorbance spectrum of the crystalline structure is different than those of the monomer solutions, involving a broadened Soret band that is split into two blue-shifted and red-shifted peaks and broadened red-shifted Q-bands. The crystals exhibit a different emission spectrum from those of the porphyrin solutions in that they are red-shifted, split, and show a dramatic decrease in intensities. A hypothetical model for the crystal structure of the porphyrin crystals is developed. Illumination of the crystals in a 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene solution with a tungsten lamp results in TNT reduction to 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film is one of the most widely used as transparent conductive electrodes in all forms of flat panel display (FPD) and microelectronic devices. Suspension of already crystalline conductive ITO nanoparticles fully dispersed in alcohol was spun, after modifying with coupling agent, on glass substrates. The low cost, simple and versatile traditional photolithography process without complication of the photoresist layer was used for patterning ITO films. Using of UV light irradiation through mask and direct UV laser beam writing resulted in an accurate linear, sharp edge and very smooth patterns. Irradiated ITO film showed a high transparency ( 85%) in the visible region. The electrical sheet resistance decrease with increasing time of exposure to UV light and UV laser. Only 5 min UV light irradiation is enough to decrease the electrical sheet resistance down to 5 kΩ

The pre-crystallization kinetics of Pb10Se90 glass was determined under non-isothermal conditions using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. Two isoconversional methods, the Kissinger-Akahire-Sunose and Vyazovkin methods, were used to determine the variation of the activation energy for glass transition with temperature. The results show that only one (three-dimensional growth) mechanism is working simultaneously during the amorphous-glass process of the investigated glass.
