Thermal emission spectral data sets were collected for a thin solid film (parafilm) and a thin liquid film (isopropanol) on the interval of 298-348 K. The measurements were performed using a conventional Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer with external optical bench and in-house-designed emission cell. Both DTGS and MCT detectors were used. The data sets were analyzed with band-target entropy minimization (BTEM), which is a pure component spectral reconstruction program. Pure component emissivities of the parafilm, isopropanol, and thermal background were all recovered without any a priori information. Furthermore, the emissivities were obtained with increased signal-to-noise ratios, and the signals due to absorbance of thermal radiation by gas-phase moisture and CO2 were significantly reduced. As expected, the MCT results displayed better signal-to-noise ratios than the DTGS results, but the latter results were still rather impressive given the low temperatures used in this study. Comparison is made with spectral reconstruction using the orthogonal projection approach-alternating least squares (OPA-ALS) technique. This contribution introduces the primary equation for emission spectral reconstruction using BTEM and discusses some of the unusual characteristics of thermal emission and their impact on the analysis.

Single-component white-light-emitters ensure color stability while reducing device complexity, and are ideal candidates for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, the realization of single-component white-light emission with high efficiency and stability is still a challenge. Herein, a supramolecular cation strategy was used to synthesize the organic-inorganic hybrid copper(I) halide [(AMTA)(18C6)]CuI (1), with AMTA = 1-adamantanamine and 18C6 = 18-crown-6.

Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy to address water pollution caused by heavy metals and antibiotics. Zeolites exhibit significant potential in petrochemical catalysis; however, the development of zeolite-based photocatalysts remains a critical challenge for researchers. Herein, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction was designed and fabricated on the titanium-silicon zeolite TS-1 by modifying g-CN via a simple calcination process.

Recent advances have enabled the Protein synthesis Using Recombinant Elements (PURE) cell-free system to be produced in individual laboratories economically and with reduced labor burden. However, the preparation of the 36 protein components and ribosome, which make up PURE, is still a complex undertaking, with much scope for variation and error. We present a detailed and updated procedure to manufacture PURE based on the recently published OnePot protocol, which involves regulating a number of key steps, in particular, the inoculation of cultures using optical density (OD)-normalized glycerol stocks, careful monitoring of cell growth, and controlling final glycerol concentrations.

Spectroscopic soft sensors are developed by combining spectral data with chemometric modeling, and offer as Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools powerful insights into biopharmaceutical processing. In this study, soft sensors based on Raman spectroscopy and linear or partial least squares (PLS) regression were developed and successfully transferred to a filtration-based recovery step of precipitated virus-like particles (VLPs). For near real-time monitoring of product accumulation and precipitant depletion, the dual-stage cross-flow filtration (CFF) set-up was equipped with an on-line loop in the second membrane stage.
