Highly conductive poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films as transparent electrodes for organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) are doped with a new solvent 1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐imidazolidinone (DMI) and are optimized using solvent post‐treatment. The DMI doped PEDOT:PSS films show significantly enhanced conductivities up to 812.1 S cm−1. The sheet resistance of the PEDOT:PSS films doped with DMI is further reduced by various solvent post‐treatment. The effect of solvent post‐treatment on DMI doped PEDOT:PSS films is investigated and is shown to reduce insulating PSS in the conductive films. The solvent posttreated PEDOT:PSS films are successfully employed as transparent electrodes in white OLEDs. It is shown that the efficiency of OLEDs with the optimized DMI doped PEDOT:PSS films is higher than that of reference OLEDs doped with a conventional solvent (ethylene glycol). The results present that the optimized PEDOT:PSS films with the new solvent of DMI can be a promising transparent electrode for low‐cost, efficient ITO‐free white OLEDs.
We report solution properties of the blend solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–POSS telechelic
and its corresponding hybrid nanofibers prepared by electrospinning. The morphologies, microstructures, and wettability of
the resulting PVA/PEG3.4k–POSS hybrid nanofibers are studied. The morphologies of the resultant PVA/PEG3.4k–POSS nanofibers
are regular with the fiber diameter ranging from 610 ± 110 to 810 ± 280 nm. When the content of PEG3.4k–POSS telechelic increases
above 20 wt.%, the beaded fiber morphologies are observed due to severe aggregations of the PEG3.4k–POSS telechelics as well
as increased viscosity at higher concentration. In addition, the solution properties of pure PEG3.4k–POSS telechelic solution
(ca. 3–5 wt.%) and PVA/PEG3.4k–POSS solutions blended with PVA are explored, and found to show the reversible turbid-to-transparent
transition behavior with respect to the solution temperature. Water contact angle measurement of the PVA/PEG3.4k–POSS nanofiber
membranes demonstrates an enhanced hydrophobic nature due to the incorporated POSS moieties. 相似文献
The single-crystal structure of a benzene sorption complex of fully dehydrated fully Mn2+-exchanged zeolite Y, |Mn37.5(C6H6)24|[Si117Al75O384]-FAU, has been determined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Fd$ \overline{3} $m at 100(1) K. A fully dehydrated and fully Mn2+-exchanged zeolite Y (|Mn37.5|[Si117Al75O384]-FAU, Si/Al = 1.56) was treated with zeolitically dried benzene at 297(1) K for 3 days. The structure was refined using all intensities to the final error indices (using the 544 reflections for which Fo > 4??(Fo)) R1 = 0.050 (based on F) and wR2 = 0.147 (based on F2). In this structure, Mn2+ ions occupy four crystallographic sites: 13.5 Mn2+ ions are at the centers of the double 6-rings; 4 Mn2+ ions are in the sodalite cavity opposite to the double 6-rings; the remaining 20 Mn2+ ions are found at two non-equivalent threefold axes in the sodalite cavity and supercage with occupancies of 2 and 18, respectively. The 24 benzene molecules are found at two distinct positions within the supercages. Eighteen benzene molecules are found on the threefold axes in the supercages where each interacts facially with one of site-II Mn2+ ions (Mn2+-benzene center = ca. 2.53 Å). The remaining six benzene molecules lie on the planes of the 12-rings where each is stabilized by multiple weak electrostatic and van der Waals interactions with framework oxygens. 相似文献
In the present study, a novel oleaginous Thraustochytrid containing a high content of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was isolated
from a mangrove ecosystem in Malaysia. The strain identified as an Aurantiochytrium sp. by 18S rRNA sequencing and named KRS101 used various carbon and nitrogen sources, indicating metabolic versatility. Optimal
culture conditions, thus maximizing cell growth, and high levels of lipid and DHA production, were attained using glucose
(60 g l−1) as carbon source, corn steep solid (10 g l−1) as nitrogen source, and sea salt (15 g l−1). The highest biomass, lipid, and DHA production of KRS101 upon fed-batch fermentation were 50.2 g l−1 (16.7 g l−1 day−1), 21.8 g l−1 (44% DCW), and 8.8 g l−1 (40% TFA), respectively. Similar values were obtained when a cheap substrate like molasses, rather than glucose, was used
as the carbon source (DCW of 52.44 g l−1, lipid and DHA levels of 20.2 and 8.83 g l−1, respectively), indicating that production of microbial oils containing high levels of DHA can be produced economically when
the novel strain is used. 相似文献
The power conversion efficiencies of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells can be increased from 5 to 6.5% by incorporating an ultrathin conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) layer between the active layer and the metal cathode. Poly[N-9'-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT) and [6,6]-phenyl C(71) butyric acid methyl ester (PC(71)BM) were chosen for the photoactive layer. CPEs with cationic polythiophenes, in both homopolymer and block copolymer configurations, were used to improve the electronic characteristics. The significant improvement in device performance and the simplicity of fabrication by solution processing suggest a promising and practical pathway for improving polymer solar cells with high efficiencies. 相似文献
Isotope-labeled N-acetyl dipeptides (Ac-Xxx-Ala) are coupled to the primary amines of tryptic peptides and then analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry.
Amide bond cleavage between Xxx and Ala provides both low- and high-mass isotope-coded signals for quantification of peptides.
Especially, facile cleavage at the modified lysine side chain yields very strong high-mass quantitation signals in a noise-free
region. Tagging tryptic peptides with isobaric N-acetyl dipeptides is a viable strategy for accurate quantification of proteins, which can be used with most quadrupole ion
trap mass spectrometers carrying the 1/3 mass cut-off problem. 相似文献
The inertial migration of particles in micro-scale flows has received much attention due to its promising applications, such as the membrane-free passive separation of particles or cells. The particles suspended in rectangular channels are known to be focused near the center of each channel face as the channel Reynolds number (R(C)) increases due to the lift force balance and the hydrodynamic interactions of the particles with the wall. In this study, the three-dimensional positions of neutrally buoyant spherical particles inside a square microchannel are measured using the digital holographic microscopy technique, and a transition from the lateral tubular pinch to the cross-lateral focusing with increasing R(C) is reported. The particles are found to migrate first in the lateral direction and then cross-laterally toward the four equilibrium positions. A general criterion that can be used to secure the fully developed state of particle focusing in Lab-on-a-Chip applications is also derived. This criterion could be helpful for the accurate estimation of the design parameters of inertial microfluidic devices, such as R(C), channel length and width, and particle diameter. 相似文献
Three MIL-100 (Fe) samples differing in average crystal size (from 60-70 to >400 nm) have been synthesized by microwave heating using three HF/Fe(3+) ratios. Oxidation of diphenylmethane with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) and thiophenol with oxygen are catalyzed by three MIL-100 (Fe) samples with similar reaction rates regardless of its average particle size. In contrast, the activity of the three MIL-100 (Fe) samples for the oxidation of bulky triphenylmethane by TBHP largely depends on the average crystal size of the sample: the smaller the average particle size, the larger the initial reaction rate of triphenylmethane oxidation. These results show that diffusion limitation takes place on MOF catalysis depending on the substrate size and provides indirect evidence that these reactions take place inside the intracrystalline space of the porous catalysts. 相似文献
We demonstrate a template-free synthetic approach for the preparation of a highly conductive Cu/Cu(2)O nanocomposite electrode by a chemical reduction process. Cu(2)O octahedra were prepared through chemical dehydrogenation of as-synthesized Cu(OH)(2) nanowire precursors. To provide a sufficiently electron-conducting network, the Cu(2)O particles were transformed into Cu/Cu(2)O nanocomposites by an intentional reduction process. The Cu/Cu(2)O nanocomposite electrodes showed enhanced cycling performance compared to Cu(2)O particles. Furthermore, their rate capabilities were superior to those of their mechanically mixed Cu/Cu(2)O counterparts. This enhanced electrochemical performance of the hybrid Cu/Cu(2)O nanocomposites was ascribed to the formation of homogeneous nanostructures, offering an efficient electron-transport path provided by the presence of highly dispersed Cu nanoparticles. 相似文献
