Size effect of lead-free halide double perovskite on luminescence property

Lead-free halide double perovskites have gathered wide scientific interest since they are environmentally friendly and stable.However,compared to the lead perovskites,their optoelectronic properties are compromised.Herein we report a series of bulk lead-free mixed Bi-In halide double perovskites:Cs_2AgBi_(1-x)In_xCl_6(0x1).The Cs_2AgBi_(0.125)In_(0.875)Cl_6breaks the parity-forbidden transition and retains direct band gap structure,having warm-white light emission,with photoluminescence quantum efficiency(PLQE)of 70.3%,much higher than the PLQE of reported lead perovskite materials.Its exciton self-trapping dynamics is investigated.Meanwhile,the Cs_2AgBi_(0.125)In_(0.875)Cl_6nanocrystals and Cs_2AgBi_(0.125)In_(0.875)Cl_6microcrystals can be synthesized by modified hot injection and rapid cooling crystallization,respectively.The size effect of Cs_2AgBi_(0.125)In_(0.875)Cl_6is studied on the photoluminescence(PL)property.Additionally,the bulk material exhibits excellent stability on exposure to light,humidity and air for more than 3 months.It is a promising candidate as highly efficient warm white-light emitting material for road lighting.     

一种基于喹唑啉酮衍生物的荧光探针对次氯酸根离子的识别

次氯酸根(ClO~-)在人体免疫系统中发挥着重要的作用,其识别与检测备受关注。本文设计合成了一种含有喹唑啉酮骨架的腙型荧光探针(HEMQ),并通过~1H NMR、~(13)C NMR、高分辨质谱(HRMS)表征了其结构。探针HEMQ在V(乙醇)∶V(水)=1∶1(c(PBS)=0.02 mol/L,pH=8.7)溶液中对ClO~-具有良好的选择性且响应快速,荧光发生显著猝灭。探针HEMQ对ClO~-具有较高的灵敏度,检测限为1.0×10-4mol/L。此外,ClO~-可引起探针溶液由黄色到无色的颜色变化,因此HEMQ可作为比色、荧光双通道响应的ClO~-探针。     

噻唑并[3,2-a]嘧啶衍生物的合成及其在水介质中识别Fe3 的性能

噻唑[3,2-a]并嘧啶衍生物具有多种生物活性,但其较差的溶解性限制了其应用。本文在7-(3-氨基苯并呋喃-2-基)-噻唑并[3,2-a]嘧啶-5-酮的芳香环上引入三乙二醇单甲醚,成功合成了化合物L,并利用核磁、质谱对其结构进行了表征。在pH 3.4~6.4范围内,化合物L可在HEPES水溶液中荧光"开-关"识别Fe~(3+),其他金属离子对识别作用没有干扰,该荧光探针具有较高的选择性和较低的检测限。     

抗污染高分子分离膜研究进展

高分子分离膜已广泛应用于水处理、食品、生物医药等领域。然而,常用的膜材料如聚醚砜(PES)、聚砜(PSf)、聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)等容易吸附蛋白质和微生物形成膜污染,进而影响膜的性能和使用寿命。膜污染尤其是膜的生物污染成为限制膜广泛应用的主要瓶颈之一。本文从亲水改性、抗菌改性及亲水抗菌双功能改性三方面综述了控制膜污染的研究进展和现状,并对其未来发展方向进行了展望。

Synthesis,isolation and characterization of methyl levulinate from cellulose catalyzed by extremely low concentration acid

A direct synthesis of methyl levulinate from cellulose alcoholysis in methanol medium under mild condition (180–210 °C) catalyzed by extremely low concentration sulfuric acid (≤0.01 mol/L) and the product isolation were developed in this study. Effects of different process variables towards the catalytic performance were performed as a function of reaction time. The results indicated that sulfuric acid concentration, temperature and initial cellulose concentration had significant effects on the synthesis of methyl levulinate. An optimized yield of around 50% was achieved at 210 °C for 120 min with sulfuric acid concentration of 0.01 mol/L and initial cellulose concentration below 100 g/L. The resulting product mixture was isolated by a distillation technique that combines an atmospheric distillation with a vacuum distillation where n-dodecane was added to help distill the heavy fraction. The light fraction including mainly methanol could be reused as the reaction medium without any substantial change in the yield of methyl levulinate. The chemical composition and structural of lower heavy fraction were characterized by GC/MS, FTIR, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR techniques. Methyl levulinate was found to be a major ingredient of lower heavy fraction with the content over 96%. This pathway is efficient, environmentally benign and economical for the production of pure levulinate esters from cellulose.     

Doped Zero-Dimensional Cesium Zinc Halides for High-Efficiency Blue Light Emission

All-inorganic zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides have recently received increasing attention due to their excellent photoluminescence (PL) performance and high stability. Herein, we present the successful doping of copper(I) into 0D Cs₂ZnBr₄. The incorporating of Cu⁺ cations enables the originally weakly luminescent Cs₂ZnBr₄ to exhibit an efficient blue emission centered at around 465 nm, with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 65.3 %. Detailed spectral characterizations, including ultrafast transient absorption (TA) techniques, were carried out to investigate the effect of Cu⁺ dopants and the origin of blue emission in Cs₂ZnBr₄:Cu. To further study the role of the A-site cation and halogen, A₂ZnCl₄:Cu (A=Cs, Rb) were also synthesized and found to generate intense sky-blue emission (PLQY≈73.1 %). This work represents an effective strategy for the development of environmentally friendly, low-cost and high-efficiency blue-emitting 0D all-inorganic metal halides.     

The photoisomerization of 11‐cis‐retinal protonated schiff base in gas phase: Insight from spin‐flip density functional theory

This extensive theoretical study employed the spin‐flip density functional theory (SFDFT) method to investigate the photoisomerization of 11‐cis‐retinal protonated Schiff base (PSB11) and its minimal model tZt‐penta‐3,5‐dieniminium cation (PSB3). Our calculated results indicate that SFDFT can perform very well in describing the ground‐ and excited‐state geometries of PSB3 and PSB11. We located the conical intersection (CI) point and constructed the photoisomerization reaction path of PSB3 and PSB11 by using the SFDFT method. To further verify the SFDFT results, we computed the energy profiles along the constructed linearly interpolated internal coordinate (LIIC) pathways by using high‐level theoretical methods, such as the EOM‐CCSD, CR‐EOM‐CCSD(T), CASPT2, NEVPT2, and XMCQDPT2 methods. The SFDFT method predicts that the photoisomerization of PSB3 is barrierless, in accordance with previous complete‐active‐space self‐consistent‐field (CASSCF) results. However, an energy barrier is predicted along the LIIC pathways of PSB11. This finding is different from previous CASSCF results and may indicate that the photoisomerization of PSB11 in gas phase is similar to that in solution. However, the higher spin contamination of the SFDFT method in the vicinity of the CI point caused the located CI geometry to deviate from that of the real CI. In addition, the LIIC pathways are only approximations to the minimum energy path (MEP). Thus, further experimental and theoretical studies are needed to verify the existence of an energy barrier along the photoisomerization reaction path of PSB11 in gas phase. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
