Optical properties and photochemical production of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen after ozonation of dissolved organic matter

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

Laser flash photolysis study of the photoinduced oxidation of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN)

Silvio Canonica, Frank Jonathan Leresche, Urs von Gunten

Aromatic amines are aquatic contaminants for which phototransformation in surface waters can be induced by excited triplet states of dissolved organic matter ((DOM)-D-3*). The first reaction step is assumed to consist of a one-electron oxidation process of ...

Effects of Ozone on the Photochemical and Photophysical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter

Silvio Canonica, Frank Jonathan Leresche, Urs von Gunten

This study focused on the effects of ozonation on the photochemical and photophysical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in DOM absorbance was observed in parallel with an increase in singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) and fluore ...

Effects of dissolved organic matter on the phototransformation of aromatic amines in surface waters

Frank Jonathan Leresche

Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of thousands of organic molecules ubiquitously present in surface waters. Its influence on the photodegradation of organic contaminants is a complicated topic. For decades DOM had been mostly assumed to h ...

Improvement of the open circuit voltage by modifying the transparent ITO front electrode in amorphous n-i-p solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Jonathan Besuchet, Gilles Kratzer, Frank Jonathan Leresche, Franz-Josef Haug, Rémi Biron

At the front contact of thin film silicon solar cells, the junction between the p-doped window layer and the n-type transparent electrode results in a barrier that must be surmounted by the charge carriers. The barrier height is governed by the work functi ...
