全固态介观太阳能电池:从染料敏化到钙钛矿

介观太阳能电池(Mesoscopic Solar Cells)作为新一代太阳能电池的突出代表, 具有原材料来源丰富, 制备工艺简单, 光电转换效率高等优点, 从而具有广阔的应用前景. 本工作简要评述了全固态介观太阳能电池从染料敏化太阳能电池(Dye-sensitized solar cells)发展到钙钛矿太阳能电池(Perovskite solar cells)过程中新材料、新技术和新概念的研究进展. 1998年, Grätzel课题组首次将固态有机空穴传输材料spiro-OMeTAD应用到染料敏化太阳能电池中, 制备出全固态染料敏化太阳能电池, 虽然仅获得了0.74%的光电转换效率, 但是却使得全固态染料敏化太阳能电池迅速发展成为介观太阳能电池的重要研究方向. 2012年, Park与Grätzel课题组合作, 使用钙钛矿型吸光材料(CH₃NH₃)PbI₃作为敏化剂, spiro-OMeTAD作为空穴收集层, 制备出光电转换效率达到9.7%的全固态介观太阳能电池, 又被称为钙钛矿太阳能电池. 自此, 基于钙钛矿材料的介观太阳能电池迅速成为太阳能电池领域的研究热点. 目前, 钙钛矿太阳能电池的最高公证效率已经达到20.1%. 钙钛矿太阳能电池作为介观太阳能电池商业化道路上里程碑式的突破, 在材料开发、界面优化以及器件稳定性方面的研究仍充满挑战, 也期待新的突破.     

PEDOT的电化学合成及其在固态染料敏化太阳能电池中的应用研究

本工作主要围绕PEDOT的合成及其在固态染料敏化太阳能电池对电极中的应用开展研究,重点研究了循环伏安法电化学沉积过程中循环次数（10~50次）对PEDOT薄膜的形貌、厚度及光学性质的影响.通过红外光谱、SEM、紫外-可见吸收光谱表征了PEDOT的结构、形貌及光性质;通过J-V、动态调制光电流谱（IMPS）/光电压谱（IMVS）以及Tafel测试表征了基于PEDOT透明对电极染料敏化太阳能电池的光电化学性能.结果表明：采用循环伏安法电沉积合成PEDOT制备固态染料敏化太阳能电池对电极时,CV循环30~40次之间时可以获得最佳的光电性能,固态器件的光电转换效率为5.34%,这是因为在该条件下所制备的PEDOT具有均匀致密的表面、较好的光学性质以及较高的光电催化性能（J₀=2.51×10^-3 A·cm^-2）,使得器件可以获得较大的扩散系数（D_n=28.80 μm²·ms^-1）和载流子扩散长度（L=21.41 μm）,有利于电荷的传输.当CV循环次数大于40次时,PEDOT薄膜会在掺氟的SnO₂透明导电玻璃（FTO）表面发生溶解、脱附,从而使得其光电催化性能下降.在双面光照条件下,以电沉积PEDOT作为透明对电极的器件光电性能提升了20%左右.

CoFe2O4自形成磁性液体场致结构化对磁化的影响

The Langevin paramagnetic theory can’t describe the relation between magnetization of ferrofluids and applied magnetic field. The structuralization of ferrofluids, which is considered the main influence factor of the magnetization, is regarded. The part of magnetization works is deposited when the structure is forming. This action influences the magnetization of ferrofluids directly or indirectly. On the base of the “compressing” model, the Langevin function that usually describes the magnetization of ferrofluid is modified, and a well-fitted curve is obtained. An equation of the relation between the equivalent volume fraction after being “compressed” and the intensity of magnetic field is discovered, which approximately describes the process of magnetization. The relation between the approximate initial susceptibility and the volume fraction can be obtained from modified formula.     

Highly regioselective Buchwald–Hartwig amination at C-2 of 2,4-dichloropyridine enabling a novel approach to 2,4-bisanilinopyridine (BAPyd) libraries

The highly regioselective Buchwald–Hartwig amination at C-2 of the cheap and readily accessible reagent, 2,4-dichloropyridine with a range of anilines and heterocyclic amines is described. This new methodology is robust and provides a facile access to 4-chloro-N-phenylpyridin-2-amines on 0.25 mol scale. These intermediates undergo a further Buchwald–Hartwig amination at higher temperature to enable rapid exploration of the chemical space at C-4 and to provide a library of 2,4-bisaminopyridines.     

Sulfur-directed metal-free and regiospecific methyl C(sp3)–H imidation of thioanisoles

Regiospecific and direct imidation of the methyl C(sp³)–H bond of thioanisoles is realized under mild and metal-free conditions with N-fluorobis(benzenesulfonyl)imide as an oxidant and nitrogen source. Proposed mechanism suggests that thionium ion intermediates and a Pummerer-type reaction are involved. The imidation has advantages such as high step-economy, excellent functionality tolerance, and regiospecificity, giving structurally diverse imidation products.     

Selective syntheses of 2H-1,3-oxazines and 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-ones via temperature-dependent Rh(II)-carbenoid-mediated 2H-azirine-ring expansion

The Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction of 2-carbonyl-substituted 2H-azirines with ethyl 2-cyano-2-diazoacetate or 2-diazo-3,3,3-trifluoropropionate provides an easy access to 2H-1,3-oxazines and 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-ones. These compounds can be selectively prepared from the same starting material using temperature as the only varied parameter. The 2-azabuta-1,3-diene intermediate, a common precursor for both heterocyclic products, isomerizes into 2H-1,3-oxazine under kinetic control, while 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-one is the sole product of the reaction at elevated temperatures. According to DFT-calculations a one-atom oxazine ring contraction involving ring-opening to a 2-azabuta-1,3-diene intermediate, followed by a 1,5- and 1,2-prototropic shift leads to the consecutive formation of imidoylketene and azomethine ylide, which then further undergo cyclization to the pyrrole derivative.     

Copper catalyzed/mediated synthetic methodology for ebselen and related isoselenazolones

Scope of the copper catalyzed/mediated selenium-nitrogen coupling reaction has been studied for the synthesis of isoselenazolones. It is noticed that the 2-chloro, 2-bromo-, and 2-iodo-aryl amides substrates can be exploited in the selenium-nitrogen coupling reaction by employing 25-100 mol % of CuI/1,10-phenanthroline (L) and potassium carbonate as a base in DMF. Furthermore, electron rich 2-chloro-arylamides also underwent selenium-nitrogen coupling reaction to give biologically important selenium-nitrogen heterocycles. Also, copper-catalyzed selenium-nitrogen coupling reaction has been meticulously applied for the synthesis of diaryl diselenides having methoxy, amine, and amide functionality from respective aryl iodides in the presence of stoichiometric amount of succinimide as an external Se-N coupling partner.

Furthermore, most of the products could be separated just by filtrating and washing with water. Additionally, the catalyst is recyclable and applicable for the large-scale synthesis.

Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of the soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor NS2028: a non-product specific route to C-8 substituted analogues

Both soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) inhibitors ODQ 1 and NS2028 2 are synthesized via improved protocols. In the former case treating 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one oxime 8, which can be prepared in two steps from 1,2-benzenediamine, with 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) gives the dihydro-ODQ 10 that in the presence of KMnO₄ oxidises to give ODQ 1 in an overall yield of 46% starting from 1,2-benzenediamine. In the latter case, the synthesis affords NS2028 2 from 2-amino-4-bromophenol 3 in three steps with an overall yield of 85% and avoids the need for chromatography. Furthermore, Suzuki-Miyaura reaction conditions are described that enable the preparation of 8-aryl and 8-heteroaryl derivatives of NS2028 directly from NS2028 2. Finally, demethylation of the 8-(methoxyphenyl) substituted analogues afforded the 8-(hydroxyphenyl) derivatives 40-42. All new products are fully characterised.
