Surface modifications of ITO electrodes for polymer light-emitting devices

Surface modifications were performed on the indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates for polymer light-emitting devices, using the different treatment methods including solvent cleaning, hydrochloric acid treatment and oxygen plasma. The influence of modifications on the surface properties of ITO electrodes were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, and four-point probe. The surface energies of the ITO substrates were also calculated from the measured contact angles. Experimental results demonstrate that the surface properties of the ITO substrates strongly depend on the modification methods, and oxygen plasma more effectively improves the ITO surface properties compared with the other treatments. Furthermore, the polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) with the differently treated ITO substrates as device electrodes were fabricated and characterized. It is observed that the surface modifications on ITO electrodes have a certain degree of influence upon the injection current, luminance and efficiency, but hardly upon the turn-on voltages of current injection and light emission which are close to the measured energy gap of electroluminescent polymer. Oxygen plasma treatment on the ITO electrode yields the better performance of the LECs, due to the improvement of interface formation and electrical contact of the ITO electrode with the polymer blend in the LECs.     

Synthesis of perfluoroheptanal by ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-octene

Perfluoro-1-octene was used as a model for developing a method for the preparative ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-alkenes to the corresponding perfluoro-nor-alkenals. Perfluoroheptanal was synthesized.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1146–1147, June, 1994.     

Synthesis of vinyl-substituted oxiranes and their transformation to dihydrofurans

The reaction of dimethylsulfonium methylide with the carbonyl function of 2-arylidene-cyclohexanones obtained from 2-methylcyclohexanone affords the corresponding spirooxiranes. The application of this reaction to 2,2-dimethyl-6-(5-methylfurfurylidene)cyclohexanone and 2,2-dimethyl-6-(5-chlorofurfurylidene)cyclohexanone leads to substituted 4,4-dimethyl-1-furyl-1,-3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroisobenzofurans.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

巯基乙酸锑配合物的合成与X射线粉末衍射数据指标化

一些锑和铋的配合物可以应用于医药研究[1,2 ] ,已合成了许多锑的有机配体配合物[3～ 7] ,但其中大多数没有生物活性。因此 ,研究锑或铋离子的配合物不仅对主族元素化学、生物无机化学而且对医药都有着非常重要的意义。我们用三氯化锑与巯基乙酸液相反应法合成的二巯基乙酸锑 (Ⅲ)配合物 ,其组成为ＨＳｂ(ＳＣＨ2 ＣＯＯ) 2 ,用Ｘ射线粉末多晶衍射数据指标化来研究配合物晶体结构[8] 。1　实验部分1 1　仪器与试剂ＥＡ - 1 1 0 6型元素分析仪 (意大利卡拉欧巴公司制造 ) ,Ｄ Ｍａｘ -ＹＢ型多晶Ｘ射线粉末衍射仪(日本理学 ,ＣｕＫα射线 ,…     

On complementability of certain generalized hypercenters in Artinian modules

We prove that, in an Artinian module, the upper FC-hypercenter over an infinite FC-hypercentral locally solvable group has a direct complement. Thus, we obtain a generalization of one of Zaitsev’s theorems and one of Duan’s theorems.     

Arc Discharge in a Channel with Transparent Walls at Intense Flow Rates of a Plasma Forming Gas

The arc discharge was studied in a transparent channel at an intense flow rate of nitrogen, hydrogen, air, carbon dioxide in the current range 100–1500 A. The internal diameter of the porous channel varied from 10 to 34 mm, the length - from 50 to 150 mm, the air and nitrogen flow rates - from 0.05 to 1.5 kg/s, hydrogen - from 0.005 to 0.05 kg/s. The electric field strength in the arc channel reached a value of 300 V/cm for N₂ and 500 V/cm for H₂. The effect of plasma thermochemical non-equilibrium was discovered.
