Primary study on the assay of superficial hydroxyl group content upon the solid polyvinyl alcohol

Polyvinyl alcohol is a multipurpose polymer, and there is abundant hydroxyl group on its surface. In this article, we first time attempted to assay the superficial hydroxyl group content on the solid polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-1799) with a degree of polymerization over 1700 and a degree of alcoholysis over 99.0%. The assay was carried out by two different titration systems. The results show: (1) the order of magnitude of superficial hydroxyl group content on its solid surface was about 3.8E-5 mol/cm2 by acylation system with single functional group reagent (acetic anhydride); while (2) the order of magnitude of superficial hydroxyl group content was about 1.4E-7 mol/cm2 by esterification system with bi-functional group reagent (Toluence 2,4-DiIsocyanate, TDI). The results would be useful to provide a quantitative reference when -OH on the solid PVA surface is intended to be utilized for surface modification for some application. Moreover, the results and their difference also offer us the knowledge of the surface modification efficiency.

The orientation of protoberberine alkaloids and their binding activities to human serum albumin by surface-enhanced Raman scattering

Raman and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique are reliably used to compare relative intensity shifts and to investigate the adsorption geometry of protoberberine alkaloids on Ag nanoparticles. We report joint application of fluorescence and SERS spectroscopy to study the interaction between protoberberine alkaloids and human serum albumin (HSA). We propose SERS technique to improve the quenching interaction caused by protoberberine alkaloids which are used to be applied in recognition process of fluorescent drugs with large biomolecules. The fluorescence results show that the fluorescence intensity of HSA is significantly decreased in presence of protoberberine alkaloids. The SERS technique demonstrates obvious advantages over direct measurements in discriminating and identifying pharmaceutical molecules. By means of this method, we are able to detect important information concerning the orientation of protoberberine alkaloids when interacting with HSA. We also show that the nitrogen atom is free, but a benzene ring and two adjacent methoxy groups are involved in the spontaneously electrostatic inducement and subsequently binding with HSA.

Influence of preparation method on structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of spherical Li[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2]O2

Spherical Li[Ni_0.5Mn_0.3Co_0.2]O₂ was prepared by both the continuous hydroxide co-precipitation method and continuous carbonate co-precipitation method under different calcined temperatures. The physical properties and electrochemical behaviors of Li[Ni_0.5Mn_0.3Co_0.2]O₂ prepared by two methods were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and electrochemical measurements. It has been found that different preparation methods will result in the differences in the morphology (shape, particle size, and tap density), structure stability, and the electrochemical characteristics (shape of initial charge/discharge curve, cycle stability, and rate capability) of the final product Li[Ni_0.5Mn_0.3Co_0.2]O₂. The physical and electrochemical properties of the spherical Li[Ni_0.5Mn_0.3Co_0.2]O₂ prepared by continuous hydroxide co-precipitation is apparently superior to the one prepared by continuous carbonate co-precipitation method. The optimal sample prepared by continuous hydroxide co-precipitation at 820 °C exhibits a hexagonally ordered layer structure, high special discharge capacity, good capacity retention, and excellent rate capability. It delivers high initial discharge capacity of 175.2 mAh g^?1 at 0.2 C rate between 3.0 and 4.3 V, and the capacity retention of 98.8 % can be maintained after 50 cycles. While the voltage range is broadened up to 2.5 and 4.6 V vs. Li⁺/Li, the special discharge capacities at 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, 2 C, 5 C, and 10 C rates are as high as 214.3, 205.0, 198.3, 183.3, 160.1 and 135.2 mAh g^?1, respectively.

Ternary solvent-processed efficient organic solar cells based on a new A-DA'D-A acceptor derivative employing the 3rd-position branching side chains on pyrroles

Recent advances in non-fullerene acceptors(NFAs),typically Y6,have driven power conversion efficiency(PCE) of single-junction orga nic solar cells(OSCs) over 16%.Mea nwhile,it becomes essential to know how to adopt simple strategies to further improve device performance.In this work,a new A-DA'D-A acceptor derivative,Y19-N3 employing 3-ethylheptyl branched at the 3^rd-position instead of 2-ethylhexyl on the pyrroles of Y19 is reported.The selection of an appropriate solvent in casting device is implemented to maximize the photovoltaic performance.PBDB-T:Y19-N3-based OSCs treated with a ternary solvent of CF/CB(1:3,v/v) and 0.8% DIO exhibit the optimal PCE of 13.77% here,with the significantly improved V_oc(0.78 V) and FF(0.72) as well as the high J_sc(24.46 mA/cm²).Further characterizations indicate that this ternary solvent-treated PBDB-T/Y19-N3 film exhibits the more appropriate morphological features with the highly efficient charge generation and collection as well as the more balanced electron and hole mobilities.This work combines molecular design and device engineering to improve the photovoltaic properties,which is important to the development of OSCs.
