Over 18% binary organic solar cells enabled by isomerization of non-fullerene acceptors with alkylthiophene side chains

Side-chain engineering has been demonstrated as an effective method for fine-tuning the optical, electrical, and morphological properties of organic semiconductors toward efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, three isomeric non-fullerene small molecule acceptors (SMAs), named BTP-4F-T2C8, BTP-4F-T2EH and BTP-4F-T3EH, with linear and branched alkyl chains substituted on the α or β positions of thiophene as the side chains, were synthesized and systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that the size and substitution position of alkyl side chains can greatly affect the electronic properties, molecular packing as well as crystallinity of the SMAs. After blending with donor polymer D18-Cl, the prominent device performance of 18.25% was achieved by the BTP-4F-T3EH-based solar cells, which is higher than those of the BTP-4F-T2EH-based (17.41%) and BTP-4F-T2C8-based (15.92%) ones. The enhanced performance of the BTP-4F-T3EH-based devices is attributed to its stronger crystallinity, higher electron mobility, suppressed biomolecular recombination, and the appropriate intermolecular interaction with the donor polymer. This work reveals that the side chain isomerization strategy can be a practical way in tuning the molecular packing and blend morphology for improving the performance of organic solar cells.

     

STUDY ON BIODEGRADABILITY OF POLY (3-HYDROXYBUTYRATE-co-3-HYDROXYVALERATE)/ORGANOPHILIC MONTMORILLONITE NANOCOMPOSITES

1. INTRODUCTION Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) has been recognized as apotential environment-friendly substitute for traditional plastics. The structure, mechanicalproperties and biodegradability of PHBV as biodegradable plastic have been reported by many groups [1-3]. However, PHBV presents some problems, such as high cost, slow crystallization rate, relatively difficult processing and high degree of crystallinity. Therefore, it is difficult to use PHBV widel…     

Characterization of the Effects of Vanadium Traps in Cracking Catalysts by Imaging Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry and Microactivity Test

The vanadium trapping effect of Mg and La containing additives in cracking catalyst contaminated with 2300 ppm Ni and 4700 ppm V has been analyzed by microactivity test (MAT) and imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The results of SIMS imaging are consistent with cracking activity data and show that the La/spinel is a superior vanadium trap for the fluid catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons (FCC) operation. La/spinel serves as a dual function additive for both vanadium trap and SO_x removal. The optimum amount of La/spinel added to the cracking catalyst is about 15% by weight. This results in an increased catalytic activity, an increase in gasoline yield, and a decrease in coke and gas factors. The MgAl₂O₄ phase of Mg/Al₂O₃ additive is found capable of trapping vanadium while its MgO of Mg/Al₂O₃ phase can migrate to zeolite particles (the active component of the FCC catalyst) that, in turn, causes a decline in the activity of that catalyst.

微生物合成的β-羟基丁酸酯与β-羟基已酸酯共聚物/聚乳酸共混材料(PHBHHx/PLA)的力学性能与生物降解性研究

通过熔融共混法制备了聚乳酸/微生物产β-羟基丁酸酯与β-羟基己酸共聚物的共混物(PLA/PHBHHx).采用拉伸力学试验研究了共混物的力学性能.通过土壤悬浊培养降解法和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析对共混材料的生物降解性能进行了研究.实验结果表明,随着PHBHHx含量的增加,共混物的拉伸强度和杨氏模量降低,而生物降解速率却显著提高.但是,在175h之前,重量组成比为20/80的共混物降解速率比纯PHBHHx还要快.综合分析表明,共混材料PLA/PHBHHx的重量比为20/80时,具有优良的力学性能和生物降解性.

Triterpenoid Saponins from Schefflera arboricola

Four new triterpenoid saponins, named scheffarboside A – D ( 1 – 4 ), along with five known saponins were isolated from the stems of Schefflera arboricola. The structures of the four new saponins were determined as 3‐O‐(O‐β‐glucuronopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)oleanolic acid ( 1 ), 3‐O‐(O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)oleanolic acid ( 2 ), 3‐O‐(O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)hederagenin ( 3 ), 3‐O‐(O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)oleanolic acid O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐β‐glucopyranosyl‐(1 → 6)‐β‐glucopyranosylester ( 4 ), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical degradation methods.     

Charge transport properties of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(III): why it is an electron transporter

The charge transport properties of mer-tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(III) (mer-Alq), which is the most widely used electron transport material in OLED, were investigated by quantum chemistry calculations within the framework of the charge hopping model and Marcus electron transfer theory. Internal reorganization energies of 0.276 and 0.242 eV were calculated by the DFT-B3LYP method employing a 6-31 G* basis set for the electrons lambdai(e) and holes lambdai(h), respectively. The relative distances and orientations of Alq molecules in amorphous film were simulated by those in the beta-phase. The intermolecular charge-transfer integrals, Hda(h) and Hda(e), along all 14 hopping pathways were then calculated by the Koopmans Theorem in conjunction with the Hartree-Fock method employing a 6-31 G* basis set as well as by the direct coupling method. The results showed that there were some Hda(e) that were 1 order of magnitude larger than any Hda(h), because hopping pathways with effective overlaps of LUMOs can occur and, thus, large Hda(e). On the other hand, effective overlap of HOMO was absent in all pathways, resulting in a relatively small Hda(h). This difference in the magnitudes of Hda(e) and Hda(h) would predict a 2 orders of magnitude difference in the electron-transfer rate constants and account for the observed 2 orders of magnitude difference in the mobilities of electrons and holes.

Instanton effects on the interaction potential between light quarks and the isomultiplet mass splitting of baryons

On the basis of current assumptions of instanton theory we derive strictly the explicit dependence on the masses and spins of the instanton induced potential between a pair of light quarks in baryons, namelyV ₁₂=γ+β(m _* ^1+α )(m _* ^2+α )η(1-σ ₁ησ ₁), wherem _i ^* andσ _i (i=1.2) are respectively the mass and Pauli spin of theith quark. On the additional basis of the MIT bag model, we obtain γ=c/R ³ and β=b/R ³>0, and α>0 is independent of the radiusR of the baryon. The magnitudes of the parametersb and α are also estimated. The MIT bag model is improved by taking into account this potential. Isomultiplet mass splitting formulas are derived in good agreement with experiment.
