Abstract:
Using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and perylene-3,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) as raw materials, a new anti-freeze (-50 °C) fluorescent organogel with rapid shape-forming (2 h) properties was synthesised based on a certain proportion of the binary solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Then, an artificial light-harvesting system (ALHS) used in extremely cold environments was successfully constructed by mixing fluorescent dyes sulphorhodamine101 (SR101) and rhodamine 6G (R6G) into them as acceptors.
