Article Abstract
We present an optical hydrogen sensor based on photothermal spectroscopy with a hollow-core fiber, specifically targeting the 2121.8-nm quadrupole absorption line of hydrogen. Our experiments demonstrate the sensor's capability for detecting hydrogen gas at concentrations as low as 77 ppm, with a lock-in time constant of 1 second. The noise equivalent concentration goes down to 7.2 ppm, with an integration time of 1867 seconds. We have observed a counter-intuitive phenomenon that the photothermal signal decreases with increasing hydrogen concentration at higher concentration levels. Thermodynamics analysis suggests that it is the result of the interplay of molecular collisional relaxation, thermal conduction, and the thermo-optic properties of the gas medium within the hollow-core fiber.

Riceglutelin (RG)-rhamnolipids (Rha)-high-methoxyl pectin (HMP)/medium-methoxy pectin (MMP)/low-methoxy pectin (LMP) were used to attract self-assembled nanoparticles by electrostatic attraction, and the effects of pectin esterification degree and concentration on the characteristics of nanoparticles and the bioavailability of curcumin were evaluated. The minimum particle size and the highest encapsulation efficiency of the nanoparticles were at mass ratios of RG:HMP = 2:1, RG:MMP = 4:1, and RG:LMP = 2:1. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy show that hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic attraction are the main driving forces for the formation of complexes.

Raman spectroscopy with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) through metal substrates is a highly precise bioimaging technique. Alternatively, recently discovered small molecules to enhance the Raman signal intensities through their self-stacking, termed stacking-induced intermolecular charge transfer-enhanced Raman scattering (SICTERS), offer ultrasensitive in vivo Raman imaging free of substrates. Molecular engineering to increase the SICTERS intensity and to tune photothermal conversion efficiency of these molecules is critical for furthering their biomedical application but not yet feasible.

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method for analyzing chemical compositions across diverse samples. Spontaneous Raman scattering (spRS) provides complete Raman spectra but typically yields low signal levels, requiring long signal integration times. In contrast, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) produces much stronger signals, allowing for rapid spectral acquisition, and has been widely used to accelerate chemical imaging.

Inspired by the electron-withdrawing ability of nitroxide radicals, a novel open-shell material, EDOT-TPAO is reported, synthesized via one-step demethylation and oxidation of its closed-shell precursor, EDOT-TPAOMe. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations confirm an acceptor-donor-acceptor configuration of EDOT-TPAO where radical termini act as electron acceptors. This structural transformation narrows the optical bandgap from 2.

In this research, biocompatible α-FeO nanoparticles were prepared as an agent for photothermal and photodynamic therapy methods by combining green synthesis and hydrothermal methods. The addition of chitosan bio-polymer played a crucial role in this process, as it not only stabilized the suspension of nanoparticles but also enhanced their biocompatibility. This stability was confirmed by zeta potential analysis Various analyses such as transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectrum, and Fourier transform infrared spectrum were performed to determine the structural and optical characteristics of the nanocomposite.
