High-efficiency, environment-friendly electroluminescent polymers with stable high work function metal as a cathode: green- and yellow-emitting conjugated polyfluorene polyelectrolytes and their neutral precursors

A series of aminoalkyl-substituted polyfluorene copolymers with benzothiadiazole (BTDZ) of different content were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction, and their quaternized ammonium polyelectrolyte derivatives were obtained through a postpolymerization treatment on the terminal amino groups. Copolymers are soluble in environmentally friendlier solvents, such as alcohols. It was found that the efficient energy transfer occurs by exciton trapping on the narrow band gap BTDZ site under UV illumination. Only 1% of BTDZ content is needed to completely quench a fluorene emission for both the neutral and the quaternized copolymers in the neat film. Absolute PL efficiencies of copolymer films were greatly enhanced as a result of the suppression of excimer formation. Light-emitting devices fabricated from these copolymers show high external quantum efficiencies over 3% and 1% for the neutral precursor and the quaternized copolymers, respectively, with high work function metals such as Al as a cathode. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on an electroluminescent polymer which bears the high EL efficiency, the electron-injection ability from high work function metals, and the solubility in environment-friendly solvents at the same time. These features make them a promising candidate for the next generation of light-emitting copolymers in PLED flat panel display application.     

Determination of acetone, hexanal and heptanal in blood samples by derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl hydroxylamine followed by headspace single-drop microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

In the study, we developed a simple, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive method for determination of the disease biomarkers of acetone, hexanal and heptanal in human blood. For the first time, derivatization of carbonyls with O-2,3,4,5,6-(pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine (PFBHA) was combined with headspace single-drop microextractin (HS-SDME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and applied to the analysis of acetone, hexanal, and heptanal in human blood. At first, acetone, hexanal and heptanal in blood were derivatized with PFBHA and formed oximes in several seconds. Sequentially, the oximes were headspace extracted and concentrated by a microdrop solvent. Finally, the extracted oximes were analyzed by GC–MS. HS-SDME conditions and method validations were studied. Due to needing of only 2 μl organic solvent, short extraction time of 8 min, and simple operation, derivatization-HS-SDME was shown to be a rapid, simple, and inexpensive technique for analysis of acetone, hexanal, and heptanal in human blood. Moreover, it had low detection limit values from 0.24 to 0.62 nM, and good reproducibility (R.S.D. less than 12%).     

从头计算方法比较TiSi_2的C54相和C49相

采用平面波超软赝势描述多电子体系,利用密度泛函理论和广义梯度近似,计算出C54相和C49相TiSi2的晶格常数、体弹性模量、形成能、电子态密度(DOS)和Mulliken电荷布居等性质.通过比较这两种物质的性质,发现尽管两者形成能很相近,但C49相结构对称性差、体弹性模量小、熔点低,Ti原子d轨道的反键强、离子性弱.这些性质上的差异和C49相TiSi2在固相反应中优先形成有关.     

Nanoporous TiO2 Coatings for Infrared Detectors

In GaAs based infrared detectors, a considerable part of the incident light will be reflected at the surface, thus it decreases the detectors sensitivity considerably. In this paper, a TiO₂ nanoporous coating was prepared successfully on the GaAs substrate by sol-gel method. The optical parameters of the coating were also controlled successfully. It was proved that the coating could greatly improve the transmittance of the incident light, which agrees with the theoretical results quite well. In the 2.5–6.0 m waveband, the maximum transmittance of GaAs substrate is 56%, while the transmittance of the GaAs substrate coated with a nanostructured TiO₂ coating is about 94%.     

Infrared study of co adsorbed species on ru/silicalite catalyst

Carbon monoxide adsorbed species on Ru/silicalite and their reactivity towards oxygen have been studied using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT). Four species were detected: a bridge bonded CO on metallic Ru (1980 cm ^-1), a linearly adsorbed CO on metallic Ru (2040 cm^-1), a linearly adsorbed CO on partially oxidized Ru (2081 cm^-1), and a multicarbonyl on oxidized Ru (2081 and 2133 cm^-1). Among the four CO species the most strongly held species was the bridge bonded CO on metallic Ru while the multicarbonyl was the most weakly held species. These four species have different reactivities towards oxygen. Only the linearly adsorbed CO on metallic Ru can be oxidized at room temperature.

Scalable synthesis of multi-shelled hollow N-doped carbon nanosheet arrays with confined Co/CoP heterostructures from MOFs for pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction

Developing low-cost but efficient hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)electrocatalysts over whole pH values is a significant but daunting task for the large-scale application of electrochemical hydrogen production.Herein,we develop,for the first time,a scalable MOF-assisted strategy for the fabrication and microstructural optimization of multi-shelled hollow N-doped carbon nanosheet arrays with confined Co/CoP heterostructures on carbon cloth(Co/CoP@NC/CC)for boosting HER performances.The key to this strategy is the step-by-step epitaxial growth of unprecedented multilayer ZIF-L arrays on carbon cloth,which are subsequently pyrolyzed and controllably phosphorized to achieve the precise control over the shell number and nanoarchitectures of the Co/CoP@NC/CC.Impressively,the HER performances can be significantly enhanced by increasing hollow shell number,and the optimal triple-shelled hollow Co/CoP@NC/CC exhibits low overpotentials of 86,78 and 145 mV in acidic,alkaline and neutral media to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm^-2,respectively,ranking as one of the best Co-based HER electrocatalysts over whole pH values.Further DFT calculations suggest that the Co/CoP heterostructures can effectively boost the cleavage of H–OH to generate protons and optimize the adsorption energy of hydrogen(ΔG_H*),which,together with the large electrode/electrolyte interface and accelerated charge/mass transfer of multi-shelled hollow array structure as well as the good conductivity and dispersity,are responsible for the remarkably improved HER performances.This study not only provides a new toolbox for enriching the family of multi-shelled nanoarchitecture materials,but also points out a general and effective route to develop highly efficient self-supported electrode materials for energy-related applications and beyond.
