Use of time-resolved fluorescence analysis to assess molecular mobility and ionic conductivity in nanocomposite organic-inorganic gels.
This work is a short review of studies on nanocomposite organic-inorganic gels by stretched-exponential analysis of fluorescence decay profiles. Emphasis is given to the conditions which allow maximum probe mobility and minimum confinement conditions with the aim to assess ionic conductivity in these materials and with the purpose to employ them with dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cells and other analogous systems.
