Gas Chromatography: Types of Detectors-II

779
In gas chromatography, different detectors are employed to meet specific analytical needs. These detectors are often categorized based on their detection mechanisms and the types of compounds they are best suited to analyze. Thermal Conductivity Detectors (TCD), Flame Ionization Detectors (FID), and Electron Capture Detectors (ECD) represent common categories, each with unique operating principles and applications. However, beyond these, several other detectors are designed for more specialized...

Photosystem II01:22

Photosystem II

76.5K
The multi-protein complex photosystem II (PS II) harvests photons and transfers their energy through its bound pigments to its reaction center, and ultimately to photosystem I (PSI) through the electron transport chain. The pigments responsible for caputirng the light energy in photosystems include chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
The pigment molecules are arranged across  two photosystem domains — the antenna complex and the reaction center. The main aim of the pigment...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Types of Detectors

1.1K
The role of the detectors in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is to analyze the solutes as they exit from the chromatographic column. The detector recognizes the solute's property and generates corresponding electrical signals, which are converted into a readable graph of the detector's response versus elution time called a chromatogram at the computer. There are several types of HPLC detectors, each with its own advantages and limitations, depending on the analyte...

Background:

  • Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), are extensively studied for photodetection.
  • MoS2 offers desirable properties like a direct band gap in low dimensions, strong light interaction, and good carrier mobility for optoelectronic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • This work reviews MoS2-based photodetectors, focusing on key performance metrics: responsivity, detectivity, response time, and dark current.
