Deep level transient spectroscopy investigation of deep levels in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells with Te:Cu back contact

Deep levels in Cds/CdTe thin film solar cells have a potent influence on the electrical property of these devices. As an essential layer in the solar cell device structure, back contact is believed to induce some deep defects in the CdTe thin film. With the help of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), we study the deep levels in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells with Te:Cu back contact. One hole trap and one electron trap are observed. The hole trap H1, localized at E_v+0.128~eV, originates from the vacancy of Cd (V_Cd. The electron trap E1, found at E_c-0.178~eV, is considered to be correlated with the interstitial Cu_i⁼ in CdTe.     

带电多孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒在硫醇/磷脂混合双层膜上的非特异性吸附

制备了表面带阴/阳离子的多孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒, 通过QCM-D研究了颗粒在不同pH值环境下与磷脂膜的非特异性吸附情况. 结果表明, NH₂-MSN 在4–8的pH值范围内与磷脂膜相互吸引, 而COOH-MSN由于与磷脂膜的电性始终保持一致而无法发生吸附现象. 本研究能够帮助理解和预测纳米颗粒与细胞膜间的相互作用, 为药物输运提供载体, 有助于多孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒在药物输运体系中的应用. 关键词： 多孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒 磷脂膜 非特异性吸附 QCM-D     

拉曼光谱研究人参皂苷Rb1与DPPC双层膜的作用

为深入了解人参皂苷的分子药理学特性,阐明人参皂苷与细胞膜的作用机制,利用拉曼光谱从分子水平研究了不同浓度人参皂苷Rb1与DPPC(二棕榈酰磷脂酸胆碱)双层膜的作用.结果表明,人参皂苷Rb1没有改变DPPC的极性头部O-C-C-N+的稳定构象,极性头仍然平行于膜表面.并且,拉曼峰值比I1096/I1126/1096/I1062和I2848/I288/0随着药物浓度的增加而相应的变大,说明Rbl增加了烃链的无序度,增强了双层膜的流动性.由此推测该药物与DPPC的作用可能由于皂苷分子内及分子间的氢键与磷脂双层膜的极性头部相作用而停留在膜的表面.     

Design of activatable red-emissive assay for cysteine detection in aqueous medium with aggregation induced emission characteristics

A novel water-soluble red-emissive AIE fluorescence probe for cysteine (Cys) in situ was prepared and the performance of selectivity and sensitivity has been carefully investigated in this study. The probe was established on the electrostatic interaction of sulfonate functionalized tetraphenylethene (TPE) and polycation generated by the reaction between a polymer bearing dinitrobenzenesulfonate groups and Cys. From the experimental results, it was easy to distinguish Cys from glutathione (GSH) and homocysteine (Hcy) with a detection limit of 73 nmol/L. The assay system also possessed strong anti-interference ability against multitudinous amino acids. The Stokes shift was 142 nm and the emission ranged from 550 nm to 850 nm. In addition, double responses in fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible spectra also make the red-emissive assay ideal for sensitive detection and quantification of Cys for most purposes, especially in-situ monitoring of Cys in aqueous medium.

Preparation and Surface Properties of Fluorine‐Containing Diblock Copolymers PLMA‐Block‐PFAEA

A series of fluorine‐containing diblock copolymers based on lauryl methacrylate and 1H,1H,2H,2H‐perfluoroalkyl acrylate have been prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The preparation process of PLMA‐Br macroinitiators was controlled within a reasonable time corresponding to the ln [M₀]/[M_t]～time plot of the reaction. FTIR, ¹H‐NMR, GPC and fluorine‐element analysis (FEA) were used to characterize the synthesized block copolymers. The solid surface activity of these polymers was demonstrated by contact angle measurement. The polymer films prepared by block copolymers with more than three fluorinated units showed low dispersion force contributions to the surface energy indicating the presence of the fluorinated block at the surface. The surface activity in solutions was measured by drop‐weight method. Ii is interesting to find, when the fluorine weight percentage is controlled constant, that PLMA‐b‐PFAEA with larger molecular size is more prominent in exploiting the fluorinated structure to reduce the surface tension of solutions. The block copolymer's ability in reducing surface tension of solutions also depends on the type of solvent.     

An efficient electrochemical disinfection of E. coli and S. aureus in drinking water using ferrocene–PAMAM–multiwalled carbon nanotubes–chitosan nanocomposite modified pyrolytic graphite electrode

This work reported an efficient electrochemical treatment for drinking water disinfection using a pyrolytic graphite electrode modified with ferrocenyl tethered poly(amidoamine) dendrimers–multiwalled carbon nanotubes–chitosan nanocomposite. The influence parameters of electrochemical disinfection of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, such as applied potential and sterilization time, were investigated. Further investigation indicated that almost all (99.99 %) of the initial bacteria were killed after applying a low potential of 0.4 V for 10 min. During the electrochemical disinfection process, the oxidized form of ferrocene was formed on electrode, which played a key role in the disinfection towards E. coli and S. aureus. Hence, the proposed method may provide potential application for the disinfection of drinking water.

Phase Stability and Elastic Properties of Chromium Borides with Various Stoichiometries

Phase stability is important to the application of materials. By first‐principles calculations, we establish the phase stability of chromium borides with various stoichiometries. Moreover, the phases of CrB₃ and CrB₄ have been predicted by using a newly developed particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Formation enthalpy–pressure diagrams reveal that the MoB‐type structure is more energetically favorable than the TiI‐type structure for CrB. For CrB₂, the WB₂‐type structure is preferred at zero pressure. The predicted new phase of CrB₃ belongs to the hexagonal P‐6m2 space group and it transforms into an orthorhombic phase as the pressure exceeds 93 GPa. The predicted CrB₄ (space group: Pnnm) phase is more energetically favorable than the previously proposed Immm structure. The mechanical and thermodynamic stabilities of predicted CrB₃ and CrB₄ are verified by the calculated elastic constants and formation enthalpies. The full phonon dispersion calculations confirm the dynamic stability of WB₂‐type CrB₂ and predicted CrB₃. The large shear moduli, large Young’s moduli, low Poisson ratios, and low bulk and shear modulus ratios of CrB₄? PS_C and CrB₄? PS_D indicate that they are potential hard materials. Analyses of Debye temperature, electronic localization function, and electronic structure provide further understanding of the chemical and physical properties of these borides.
