The Pros And Cons Of Organic Chemistry

964 Words4 Pages

For the last 5 decades, electronics coupled with organic chemistry has been an area of great research interest, especially in physics and chemistry. Until a few years ago, this topic was thought to have no practical approach and was believed to be just research-oriented. Modification of chemical structures so that they can in a way enhance the properties of these when used for electronic applications- especially as a thin film has gained major impetus. It was always thought that organics would soon replace the semiconductors in the near future; given that they could perform the same functions and applications as the semiconductors. However, their stability and efficiency posed a great problem then. But a revolution in the mid 1980s provided strong counter argument against this. The demonstration of a low voltage and efficient thin film LED seemed to pave the way for this revolutionary idea. Although the demonstration by Ching …show more content…

It has the distinction of being the lone photovoltaic device making use of molecular photon absorption and its conversion into charges. It is special because it doesn’t require intermolecular transportation of the excited electrons. Traditional solar cells have both light harvesting and charge transport occurring simultaneously. However, in case of DSC these are not together. This leads to certain limitations upon the properties of the semiconductor to be used. The band-gap and mobility of charge carriers as well as recombination time of photogenerated charges pose reduce the vastly available semiconductors that can act as efficient photovoltaic converters, to just a few. This problem however doesn’t gain much impetus when it comes to separate light absorption and charge carrier transport. For such types, he options available for the absorber material are

All the fundamental vibrations are IR active stable structure. The harmonic vibrational frequencies calculated for doped fullerene with glycine have been compared from low frequency (below 1000 cm-1) to high vibrational frequency (above 1000cm-1) as shown in Table5. The symmetrical stretching vibrations of NH2 group are assigned in 3079, 3569 and 3613cm-1. The two strong stretching vibrations are found at 3569, 3695cm-1 for doped fullerene C19Si-glycine and 3569, 3715cm-1 for C19Ge-glycine. The strongest carbonyl stretching, vibration peak at 1769cm-1for doped fullerene interacting with amino acid C19Si-glycine and at 1780cm-1 for doped fullerene C19Ge-glycine peak are presented in Fig 7.

The abundant of esters, which serves as the electron withdrawal group, propels the effectiveness of this reaction. In the present case, the central ring of the anthracene possesses the characteristic properties of a diene, electron-rich, system [1]. Thus, this aromatic compound reacts with the 9 and 10 positions of the maleic anhydride dienophile, electron-poor, by 4 +2 cycloaddition [1]. 9 and 10 are the position of preference because it is where new bonds can be made without destroying the aromatic formation of the other two rings. This reaction results in a six-membered ring bridged on the 9 and 10 positions of anthracene.

The light bulb is one of the most impactful inventions of all time as more than 7 billion people still use it today and it 's just getting bigger. Most people tell you that Thomas Edison was the first EVER to create the light bulb or even the thought of it, but in fact he wasn 't the first one ever. Thomas was just the first to commercially show it but there were 20 other people to actually make the concept of it. Thomas 's first attempt with the light bulb lasted 2 days and 40 hours and this was just the start. (Encyclopedia)Now most light bulbs can last years and it 's quite impressive from going only 2 days to years.

UPDATE TO PRESENT Lightwave Technology made profit from a part of illumination market worth $79 million. LED products constituted $2.3 billion of this. From 1997, capturing the strategic opportunities has led Lightwave Technology Inc. achieve success. The market conditions have been extremely favorable and has shown a tremendous growth of 500 percent in less than half a decade. The change in the usage of LEDs has also impacted a lot to the growth of the company.

Questions, statistics, data, and personal opinions. They are all involved in the question, “Are organic foods worthwhile?” Worthwhile meaning worth the time, money, effort, or value. In “Organic Food Starts to Prove Its Worth” by Rachel Cernansky you can see that she agreeing that organic foods are worth it, on the other hand “Is organic food worth the higher price? Many experts say no.”

Dioxins are primarily by-products or residues from thermal industrial processes (combustion) that involve chlorine, but they can also occur during natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions or forest fires. They are undesirable byproducts in a large number of manufacturing processes, such as melting, chlorine bleaching of pulp, and the production of certain herbicides and pesticides. In terms of emissions, it is considered that most of the dioxin released into the environment comes from uncontrolled waste incinerators (solid waste and hospital waste), which are the biggest culprits, with incomplete combustion. There are also large stocks of used industrial oils throughout the world whose longterm preservation and elimination of these materials

I. Introduction Long ago, since ancient time humans have been using energy and striving for the betterment of themselves, it all began with the use of tools which led to the discovery of fire, from this great breakthrough, humans evolved exponentially. Eons have passed and humans are still using fire to ease their daily lives from cooking, mobility and electricity, but due to the increase in advancement of technologies, it has also increased damages to the planet, thus the governments had started to move towards a producing or replacing the old harmful substance to a less harmful ones, but since one of the most used and one of the highest cause of ozone depletion is chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), it has been banned from production due to the Montreal Protocol 1991, one of the causes as to why it was banned is one of the chemicals it contain is chlorine, once a certain condition is met it depletes the ozone layer, ergo with earth shield compromised more harmful ultraviolet rays will get into the planet, thus only the reservoir of CFC are being used today, now it’s a race against time to replace this CFC with other materials that is less harmful and either as or more efficient than it. There are not a lot of ways to replace chlorofluorocarbon. Some of the most prominent ones are hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and magneto caloric effect (MCE).

Hi, Chemoprevention is NOT a treatment for cancer however it is use of substances to reduce, stop or delay the development of cancer in the body. This can also be the act of being self-aware and understanding how and why cancer occur and actively taking measures to either prevent or stop occurrence. Chemoprevention involves taking substances either man-made (made in the lab) or natural. However, taking this substance might reduce the risk of cancer but might escalate other side effects. Therefore, before undertaking a method of chemoprevention consult your primary health physician and compare the pros against the cons.

Organic Food In the society where people are getting more concerned about one 's health organic food has become a widely spread and followed by many people tendency. Organic food is believed to have better impact on person 's well-being and not to cause harm to people and the surrounding world due to its ecological nature. The debate that has been recently developed around this topic cannot be solved easily since both supporters and their counterparts provide reasonable arguments supporting their positions. However, to get into the problem and find the answer to a question that concerns many people it is necessary to identify organic food at first.
