Dredging the Charge-Carrier Transfer Pathway for Efficient Low-Dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper Perovskite Solar Cells

Low-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper (LDRP) perovskites still suffer from inferior carrier transport properties. Here, we demonstrate that efficient exciton dissociation and charge transfer can be achieved in LDRP perovskite by introducing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a spacer. The hydrogen bonding links adjacent spacing sheets in (GABA)₂MA₃Pb₄I₁₃ (MA=CH₃NH₃⁺), leading to the charges localized in the van der Waals gap, thereby constructing “charged-bridge” for charge transfer through the spacing region. Additionally, the polarized GABA weakens dielectric confinement, decreasing the (GABA)₂MA₃Pb₄I₁₃ exciton binding energy as low as ≈73 meV. Benefiting from these merits, the resultant GABA-based solar cell yields a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.73 % with enhanced carrier transport properties. Furthermore, the unencapsulated device maintains 92.8 % of its initial PCE under continuous illumination after 1000 h and only lost 3 % of its initial PCE under 65 °C for 500 h.     

高效液相色谱-串联质谱法同时检测血液中3种季铵盐类肌松剂

维库溴铵、罗库溴铵和泮库溴铵是一类广泛使用的非去极化肌松剂,使用过程中引起过敏反应甚至死亡的情况时有发生,快速检测血液中该类肌松剂的浓度,可为临床早期诊断提供有价值的信息。该类肌松剂为强极性的季铵盐类化合物,在反相色谱柱上难以保留,主要采用离子对色谱法进行分离。采用离子对色谱法时,加入的离子对试剂有离子抑制作用,可降低质谱灵敏度,还会污染质谱系统。该文建立了高效液相色谱-串联质谱(HPLC-MS/MS)同时检测血液中3种季铵盐类肌松剂的检测方法。血液样品经稀释、高速离心后,上清液过Bond Elut AL-N固相萃取柱净化,用0.45 μm的微孔滤膜过滤后检测。采用ZIC-cHILIC色谱柱(50 mm×2.1 mm, 3.0 μm)分离,以乙腈和0.1%甲酸水溶液为流动相,梯度洗脱,在ESI⁺、多反应检测(MRM)模式下检测。3种季铵盐类肌松剂在血液中的基质效应为88.1%~95.4%,在各自范围内线性关系良好,相关系数(R²)均大于0.996,检出限为0.2~0.8 ng/mL,定量限为0.5~2.0 ng/mL,加标回收率为92.8%~110.6%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为3.2%~9.4%。该方法灵敏度高,准确性好,操作简便,可用于血液样品中维库溴铵、罗库溴铵和泮库溴铵的快速检测。     

Engineering the Atomic Interface with Single Platinum Atoms for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

It is highly desirable but challenging to optimize the structure of photocatalysts at the atomic scale to facilitate the separation of electron–hole pairs for enhanced performance. Now, a highly efficient photocatalyst is formed by assembling single Pt atoms on a defective TiO₂ support (Pt₁/def‐TiO₂). Apart from being proton reduction sites, single Pt atoms promote the neighboring TiO₂ units to generate surface oxygen vacancies and form a Pt‐O‐Ti³⁺ atomic interface. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the Pt‐O‐Ti³⁺ atomic interface effectively facilitates photogenerated electrons to transfer from Ti³⁺ defective sites to single Pt atoms, thereby enhancing the separation of electron–hole pairs. This unique structure makes Pt₁/def‐TiO₂ exhibit a record‐level photocatalytic hydrogen production performance with an unexpectedly high turnover frequency of 51423 h^?1, exceeding the Pt nanoparticle supported TiO₂ catalyst by a factor of 591.     

Novel soluble fluorinated poly(ether imide)s with different pendant groups: Synthesis,thermal, dielectric,and optical properties

Three types of new bis(ether dianhydride) monomers, [4,4′‐(2‐(3′‐methylphenyl)‐1,4‐phenylenedioxy)‐diphthalic anhydride (4a)], [4,4′‐(2‐(3′‐trifluoromethylphenyl)‐1,4‐phenylenedioxy)‐diphthalic anhydride (4b)], and [4,4′‐(2‐(3′,5′‐ditrifluoromethylphenyl)‐1,4‐phenylenedioxy)‐diphthalic anhydride (4c)] were prepared via a multistep reaction sequence. Three series of soluble poly(ether imide)s (PEIs) were prepared from the obtained dianhydrides by a two‐step chemical imidization method. Experimental results indicated that all the PEIs had glass transition temperature in the range of 200–230 °C and the temperature of 5% weight loss in the range of 520–590 °C under nitrogen. The PEIs showed excellent solubility in a variety of organic solvents due to introduction of the bulky pendant groups and were capable of forming tough films. The casting films of PEIs (80–91 μm in thickness) had tensile strengths in the range from 88 to 117 MPa, tensile modulus from 2.14 to 2.47 GPa, and elongation at break from 15 to 27%. The casting films showed UV‐Vis absorption edges at 357–377 nm, low dielectric constants of 2.73–2.82, and water uptakes lower than 0.66 wt %. The spin‐coated films of PEIs presented a minimum birefringence value as low as 0.0122 at 650 nm and low optical absorption at the optical communication wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nm. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Suppression of chaos in a MEMS resonator by delayed position feedback

A delayed position feedback control is applied on DC voltage source for suppressing chaos of a typical MEMS resonator actuated by electrostatic forces. A theoretical necessary condition for chaotic oscillation of the controlled system is presented. Numerical results and the analytical prediction reveal the evolution of dynamical behavior of the system with AC voltage amplitude and the control effect of delayed feedback on reducing chaos of the system. It shows that the delayed feedback control is effective on suppressing chaos of the micro mechanical resonator.

Superferromagnetic state of α-Fe in Fe implanted Co6Ag94 studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy

After having introduced by ion implantation ⁵⁷Fe to a local concentration of 7 at% into Co₆Ag₉₄, we observed it by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy in the as-prepared state and after isochronal annealing. A superferromagnetic state is inferred, which is correlated with the ordering of the magnetic moments on the Fe clusters through chain-like or dendritic Co/Fe linear structures. The magnetic moment disordering temperature lies above 473 K.
