The overall objective of project Improved traceability chain of nanoparticle size measurements is to improve the traceability chain for nanoparticle size measurements. The main impact will be achieved by manifold contributions to standard documents for CEN/TC 352 “Nanotechnologies”, which directly addresses the research needs of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI mandated by EC to develop standards for methods and reference materials to accurately measure the size and size distribution of nanoparticles. This will take place in collaboration with ISO/TC229 ‘Nanotechnologies’, ISO/TC24/SC4 ‘Particle characterization’ and ISO/TC201 ‘Surface analysis’/ SC9 ‘Scanning probe microscopy’.
Mycotoxins cause a variety of mold-related health risks which makes it necessary to further examine their metabolic pathways in human and other mammals. Beside standard in vitro assays with liver cell microsomes an increasing interest in new and rapid simulation techniques are playing a growing role in mycotoxin research.
Herein, the coupling of electrochemistry with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (EC/LC/MS) is presented as fast and simple method to investigate the oxidative fate of mycotoxins. For this case study, two food relevant mycotoxins (zearalenone and citrinin) were selected. Experiments were performed by using an electrochemical flow through cell integrated in the flow path of the autosampler of the chromatographic system. The reaction mixture was separated by a RP-C18 column and analyzed by a single quadrupole MS (Figure 1). Oxidation products were generated by applying potentials of 400, 800, 1200 and 1600 mV vs Pd/H2 using a glassy carbon working electrode. Different oxidation reactions like hydroxylation, dehydrogenation and dimerization lead to a diverse product pattern of the investigated mycotoxins.
In a comparative study, electrochemical generated reaction products were compared with metabolites produced by human and rat liver microsomes in vitro. The obtained data show that EC/LC/MS is a versatile and promising tool in mycotoxin research to support metabolic investigations of known and unknown mycotoxins.
Obtaining high quality upconverting nanocrystals with only little crystal defects and hence, a high luminescence, affords a reliable synthesis route. Only this guarantees the reproducibility of the material and its spectroscopic properties required for future application. The fluorolytic sol-gel synthesis appears to be a convenient attempt, as this is a method with only few steps influencing the material properties, which can be well controlled.
Also creating bright upconverting nanocrystals requires a profound understanding of the interplay of photophysical processes like multiphoton absorption, radiative and non-radiative pathways, and energy transfer in the material.
Based on steady-state and time resolved luminescence measurements at different excitation power densities, the influence of the lanthanide doping ratio and synthesis parameters such as the annealing process on SrF2-nanocrystals obtained via the fluorolytic sol-gel synthesis was systematically studied.
The ferroelectric ceramic NBT and its solid solutions with barium titanate (BT) are examples for the most promising lead free materials to substitute the dominant Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT). Lead based material should generally be disregarded due to environmental and health reasons. However, there is no class of lead-free piezoelectric materials that can replace PZT entirely. Not only the often inferior ferroelectric properties but also the lack of understanding of the defect chemistry of NBT is still a challenge for the replacement of lead containing piezo-ceramics. Just recently it could be shown by Li et al.[1] that NBT obtains extraordinarily high oxygen ionic conductivity when doped with Mg as acceptor. It was actually expected that doping just leads to a hardening of the ferroelectric properties. However, it became clear that the known defect chemical behavior of PZT cannot be extrapolated to NBT materials. Hence, to gain information on general doping effects a better defect chemical investigation is needed. This is particularly important for the applications with high reliability demands to investigate possible degradation and fatigue mechanisms.
In the present work Time-of-flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was used in order to observe the influence of different acceptor dopants (Fe, Ni, Al) on the oxygen diffusion in NBT. ToF-SIMS holds the ability to gain a full elemental distribution in a sub-micron resolution and was therefore chosen to provide the essential information on the favorable diffusion paths of oxygen in NBT in dependence of the chosen doping element. 18O was used as a tracer for oxygen as its natural abundance is only 0.2%. The doped NBT samples have been annealed for 5 h at 500°C in a 0.2 bar 18O-tracer atmosphere to be able to detect oxygen ion diffusion. ToF-SIMS investigations were conducted on a ToF-SIMS IV (ION TOF GmbH, Münster, Germany) using a Bi+ primary ion beam (25KeV in collimated burst alignment mode with a beam diameter of ~150 nm) and a Cs+ sputter beam (3KeV).
The results illustrate the different impact of dopants on the diffusion properties which is evidence for a highly non-linear dependence on dopant type and concentration.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an anticholinesterase organophosphate insecticide, is commonly used to control pests in agricultural sectors. In recent years, it is one of the most frequently detected residues in fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, pesticides including chlorpyrifos undergo extensive abiotic (industrial processes, waste treatments and photodegradations) and/or biotic (metabolism and microbial activities) processes which lead to transformation products (TPs) with different toxicity. Furthermore, lack of representative standards and complexity of transformation mechanisms make monitoring of TPs in real samples difficult.
The aim of this work was to investigate CPF and its TPs in selected food matrices. Representative standards of TPs were synthesized by electrochemistry coupled online to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (EC/LC/MS) that equipped with a follow-through and/or synthesis cell with boron doped diamond working electrode. The TPs were characterized by LC-MS/MS and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and used for real sample investigations. Different fruit and spice samples (fortified by TPs standards and blank) were extracted by dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) and analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
Recoveries were obtained ranging between 94 – 101% (with matrix effect 85 – 97%). The method limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) for CPF were 1.9 and 5.7 µg/kg, respectively. Among investigated samples CPF was detected in fresh lemon, black pepper and fenugreek seed with a content of 104, 31 and 4 µg/kg, respectively. Coriander and cinnamon samples also contained trace levels of CPF (<LOD). Transformation products of CPF mainly diethylthiophosphate (DETP), chlorpyrifos oxon (CPF oxon) and trichloropyridinol (TCP) were detected alongside of the parent compound in different samples. Hence, by synthesizing reference standards using EC/LC/MS we were able to detect the main TPs of CPF in real food samples. The results show that not only parent residues but also monitoring of TPs is vital to ensure future food safety.
Nature has created molecular machines which can perform a variety of different tasks. They exhibit defined operational pathways and order, resulting in directed macroscopic effects. Within the last decades researchers have been developing numerous artificial molecular machines which are so far mostly operating in solution. However, this represents a major obstacle for the generation of a macroscopic output, due to the random orientation of molecules in solution. As a general approach to this problem, interfaces have been used to generate ordered arrays of functional molecules.
Recently, we developed a new class of redox-switchable crown ether/ammonium-based [2]- and [3]rotaxanes which incorporate redox-active tetrathiafulvalene and naphthalene diimide units in their wheels resulting in emergent optoelectronic properties. Electrochemical stimuli influence the interactions between the two macrocycles of [3]rotaxanes and induce conformational changes.
In a proof-of-principle study [2]pseudorotaxanes were deposited on gold surfaces by “click”-reaction to azide-terminated self-assembled monolayers to generate ordered arrays of redox-active rotaxanes on-surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms the successful deposition of a rotaxane monolayer, though angle-resolved near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) exhibits poor order of the rotaxanes.
Following, new terpyridine-stoppered rotaxanes will be synthesised opening a pathway for the deposition of [2]- and [3]rotaxanes in a layer-by-layer metal-mediated self-assembly procedure. This approach would allow for a programmed sequence of different rotaxanes in multilayers. Electrochemical on-surface switching will be investigated by angle-resolved NEXAFS spectroscopy, XPS, cyclic voltammetry and UV/Vis spectroscopy.
A more detailed understanding of the electron-transfer between the surface and the different rotaxane layers as well as of the on-surface switching could give rise to potential applications like optoelectric data-storage devices or potential-driven molecular motors.

Photothermal imaging is commonly used for the characterization of material properties, the determination of layer thicknesses or the detection of inhomogeneities such as voids or cracks. For this purpose, the solid specimen is externally heated, e.g. by using a light source. The resulting transient heat flows interact with the inner structures of the specimen, which in turn is measured as a transient temperature distribution at the surface.
Novel array-shaped, high-power laser light sources allow to control the heating of the surface arbitrarily, both temporally and spatially. This enables us to shape the heat flows within the material in a very specific way. In a first application, we demonstrate how to apply destructively interfering thermal wave fields in order to detect subsurface defects with a very high sensitivity. A similar technique, although originating from a very different physical domain, is already in use for medical 3D imaging showing the high potential of this approach.
The technique of painting on the reverse side of glass was rediscovered by artists in the 20th and gained especially in Germany strong popularity. Compared to other techniques (e.g. canvas, mural paintings), the paint layers are applied in reverse succession. The paintings are viewed in reflected light, thus revealing an impressive gloss, luminosity, and depth of color. Reverse glass paintings comprise a non-porous glass substrate and multi-layered paint system, hence delamination of the paint layer is the most common disfigurement. Scientific investigation of the material provides important information for appropriate conservation concepts. Transport of the precious and fragile objects to the lab is often not feasible. Therefore, in-situ, non-invasive analysis is necessary to analyze colorants and binders. Based on modern reverse glass paintings, we clarify advantages and limitations of mobile Raman spectroscopy for the identification of colorants. We compare the use of mobile Raman spectroscopy with other methods of our mobile lab (i.e. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (DRIFTS).
