Formation of liquid crystal/gel emulsions to nano-emulsions constructed by polyalkoxylated fatty alcohol (PAFA)-based mixed surfactant systems

In the construction of ternary phase diagrams, the polyalkoxylated fatty alcohol (PAFA)-based mixed surfactant systems including PAFA-AS (alkyl sulfonate), PAFA-CB (cocamidopropyl betaine) and PAFA-APG (alkyl polyglucosides) were used to develop self-standing liquid crystal/gel emulsions containing rapeseed oil methyl esters (ROME) and water. The formation of liquid crystal/gel emulsions are observed at semi-dilute regions of the phase diagrams. A pre-emulsion was chosen from each of PAFA-AS, PAFA-CB and PAFA-APG systems for minor modification with sodium silicate. Upon aqueous dilution of the modified pre-emulsions to weight fractions (Φ_w) of 0.8 and 0.6 and with an isothermal shaker agitation, the samples demonstrate dramatic increases in apparent viscosity with flow resistance and shear thinning behaviour. In oscillatory amplitude study, the emulsions show linear viscoelastic (LVE) plateau (G’>G”) and strain softening region (G”>G’) indicating the samples promote a viscoelastic behaviour. Further affirmation by Cole-Cole plots reveal the emulsion samples behave as a Maxwell fluid. The optical microscope study verifies the emulsions of PAFA-AS, PAFA-CB and PAFA-APG systems comprising of multilamellar vesicles, bicontinuous cubic phase and multilamellar phase, respectively. Upon aqueous dilution of the liquid crystal/gel emulsions with an isothermal agitation, the formation of nano-emulsion droplets is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering studies. The nano-emulsions display spherical and elliptical shapes with mean droplet sizes are in the range of 158.37 to 206.43?nm and zeta potential values are in the range of –12.07 to –32.79?mV.     

A Cation‐Exchange Approach for the Fabrication of Efficient Methylammonium Tin Iodide Perovskite Solar Cells

Tin‐based halide perovskite materials have been successfully employed in lead‐free perovskite solar cells, but the overall power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) have been limited by the high carrier concentration from the facile oxidation of Sn²⁺ to Sn⁴⁺. Now a chemical route is developed for fabrication of high‐quality methylammonium tin iodide perovskite (MASnI₃) films: hydrazinium tin iodide (HASnI₃) perovskite film is first solution‐deposited using presursors hydrazinium iodide (HAI) and tin iodide (SnI₂), and then transformed into MASnI₃ via a cation displacement approach. With the two‐step process, a dense and uniform MASnI₃ film is obtained with large grain sizes and high crystallization. Detrimental oxidation is suppressed by the hydrazine released from the film during the transformation. With the MASnI₃ as light harvester, mesoporous perovskite solar cells were prepared, and a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.13 % is delivered with good reproducibility.     

The Second Spacer Cation Assisted Growth of a 2D Perovskite Film with Oriented Large Grain for Highly Efficient and Stable Solar Cells

The fabrication of high‐quality film with large grains oriented along the direction of film thickness is important for 2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite‐based solar cells (PVSCs). High‐quality 2D BA₂MA_n?1Pb_nI_3n+1 (BA⁺=butylammonium, MA⁺=methylammonium, n=5) perovskite films were fabricated with a grain size of over 1 μm and preferential orientation growth by introducing a second spacer cation (SSC⁺) into the precursor solution. Dynamic light scattering showed that SSC⁺ addition can induce aggregation in the precursor solution. The precursor aggregates are favorable for the formation of large crystal grains by inducing nucleation and decreasing the nucleation sites. Applying phenylethylammonium as SSC⁺, the optimized inverted planar PVSCs presented a maximum PCE of 14.09 %, which is the highest value of the 2D BA₂MA_n?1Pb_nI_3n+1 (n=5) PVSCs. The unsealed device shows good moisture stability by maintaining around 90 % of its initially efficiency after 1000 h exposure to air (Hr=25±5 %).     

Isolation,structure elucidation,and antibacterial evaluation of the metabolites produced by the marine-sourced Streptomyces sp. ZZ820

New indole alkaloids streptoprenylindoles A–C (1–3) and diterpenoids 18-acetyl-cyclooctatin (8), 5,18-dedihydroxy-cyclooctatin (9), and 5-dehydroxy-cyclooctatin (10) were isolated from the culture of marine-derived Streptomyces sp. ZZ820, along with known 3-cyanomethyl-6-[3-methyl-2-butenyl]indole (4), N-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethylacetamide (5), 1-acetyl-β-carboline (6), indole-3-methylethanoate (7), cyclooctatin (11), and chromomycin A₃ (12). Their structures were elucidated by a combination of extensive spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculation, and the Mosher's method. Streptoprenylindoles A (1) and B (2) are enantiomers that were separated through the preparation of their Mosher esters. Three new diterpenoids (8–10) showed antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli with MIC values of 24.11–55.12?μM, while chromomycin A₃ (12) showed potent antibacterial activities against MRSA (MIC: 0.59?μM) and E. coli (MIC 0.04?μM).

Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells Based on Small Molecular Hole Transport Material C8‐Dioctylbenzothienobenzothiophene

The small organic molecular Dioctylbenzothienobenzothiophene (C₈‐BTBT) has been explored as hole transport material (HTM) to replace PEDOT:PSS in inverted perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). MAPbI₃ perovskite films depositd onto C₈‐BTBT are smooth and uniform, with negligible residual of PbI₂ and large grain size even larger than 1 μm. Our champion C₈‐BTBT based devices reached a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.46% with marginal hysteresis, much higher than that of 11.50% achieved using PEDOT:PSS. Besides, devices adopting C₈‐BTBT as substrate show superior stability compared with the PEDOT:PSS based devices when stored under ambient conditions with a relative humidity of (25±5)%.     

Geometric Potential and Dirac Quantization

A fundamental problem regarding the Dirac quantization of a free particle on an () curved hypersurface embedded in N flat space is the impossibility to give the same form of the curvature‐induced quantum potential, the geometric potential as commonly called, as that given by the Schrödinger equation method where the particle moves in a region confined by a thin‐layer sandwiching the surface. This problem is resolved by means of a previously proposed scheme that hypothesizes a simultaneous quantization of positions, momenta, and Hamiltonian, among which the operator‐ordering‐free section is identified and is then found sufficient to lead to the expected form of geometric potential.
