Single‐Molecule Sensing of Environmental pH—an STM Break Junction and NEGF‐DFT Approach

Sensors play a significant role in the detection of toxic species and explosives, and in the remote control of chemical processes. In this work, we report a single‐molecule‐based pH switch/sensor that exploits the sensitivity of dye molecules to environmental pH to build metal–molecule–metal (m‐M‐m) devices using the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) break junction technique. Dyes undergo pH‐induced electronic modulation due to reversible structural transformation between a conjugated and a nonconjugated form, resulting in a change in the HOMO–LUMO gap. The dye‐mediated m‐M‐m devices react to environmental pH with a high on/off ratio (≈100:1) of device conductivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, carried out under the non‐equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) framework, model charge transport through these molecules in the two possible forms and confirm that the HOMO–LUMO gap of dyes is nearly twice as large in the nonconjugated form as in the conjugated form.

采用PEABr添加剂获得高效且稳定的碳基CsPbBr3太阳能电池

全无机CsPbBr₃钙钛矿材料因其本征稳定性好、成本低廉从而在光伏领域展现出巨大的应用潜力,但目前CsPbBr₃太阳能电池的光电转换效率仍远低于其他体系的钙钛矿太阳能电池.本文以无空穴传输层结构的碳基CsPbBr₃全无机钙钛矿电池作为研究对象,以多步旋涂法为基础,通过在PbBr₂(DMF)溶液中添加2-苯乙胺溴盐(PEABr)来调控CsPbBr₃薄膜的结晶质量,降低薄膜缺陷态密度,钝化晶粒间界,并对其中的关键工艺参数包括CsBr的用量(旋涂次数)、旋涂PbBr₂薄膜时的衬底预热温度以及退火温度进行了优化.最终在大气环境下获得了兼具稳定和高效的无空穴传输层结构的碳基CsPbBr₃太阳能电池,器件的光电转换效率达到8.25%,并在无封装条件下保存1500 h仍可保持90%以上的效率,对于进一步拓展CsPbBr₃钙钛矿电池的优化设计思路具有重要意义.     

Multi-agent System中多维度信誉模型设计

在multi-agent system (MAS)中引入信誉机制是解决Agent间复杂交互问题促进合作的有效途径.在构造信誉置信度和期望信誉级别两种信誉表示形式的基础上,提出第三方权威机构的资质评价作为第三种信誉信息来源,引入活动相似算子和信息来源权重,从评价目标多维性和信息来源多维性对初始信誉置信度评价进行修正,运用Dempster规则合成计算获得最终信誉评价,并以实例验证了模型的实用性.最后对模型的效率与抗威胁性进行了检验,结果表明模型解决了新进Agent的信誉赋值问题,可以在一定程度上激励Agent主动给出交互评价,并能很好地解决或缓解分布式系统中关键的8种安全威胁.

Coordination bonding based pH-responsive albumin nanoparticles for anticancer drug delivery

Zn-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (Zn-BSA nanoparticles) were prepared and used as carriers for pH-responsive anticancer drug delivery. Zinc was introduced into this system to increase the stability of the BSA nanoparticles and to load the anticancer drug based on the coordination bonding formation of Zn-BSA and Zn-drug molecules, respectively. The cleavage of either the "Zn-BSA" or the "Zn-drug" coordination bonding, in response to pH, would result in the release of the drug under designated pH conditions. The nanoparticles were spherical with diameters of 50-60 nm and narrow size distribution. Mitoxantrone (MX) was chosen as the model drug to study the release behavior and the inhibitory efficacy against tumor cells. In vitro release behavior of MX loaded Zn-BSA nanoparticles (MX-Zn-BSA nanoparticles) showed a fine pH-responsiveness. The release amount at pH 5.0 was close to 80%, while the cumulative release amount at pH 7.4 was less than 6% within 24 h. The blank Zn-BSA nanoparticles were of low cytotoxicity, while a high cytotoxic activity of MX-Zn-BSA nanoparticles against MCF-7 cells was demonstrated by in vitro cell assays.     

Cover Picture: Highly Regioselective Sequential 1,1‐Dihydrosilylation of Terminal Aliphatic Alkynes with Primary Silanes (Chin. J. Chem. 5/2019)

The cover picture shows that sequential 1,1‐dihydrosilylation of terminal aliphatic alkynes with primary silanes enabled by one earth‐abundant cobalt catalyst has been developed. This protocol is operationally simple using readily available aliphatic alkynes, including simple acetylene and complex drug derivative, for efficient access to valuable gem‐bis(dihydrosilyl)alkanes in highly regioselective and atom‐economic manners. Corresponding asymmetric transformations are achieved with excellent enantioselectivities. More details are discussed in the article by Lu et al. on page 457–461.

     

Pressure and volume dependence of Grüneisen parameter of solids

Using the assumption δ_T=δ_T0(V/V₀)^k and the Grüneisen parameter γ macroscopic definition expression, we obtained a relationship for the volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter γ. We have calculated the Grüneisen parameter γ with this relationship for NaCl and ε-Fe at high pressure under study. The calculated values of γ are found to show fairly in good agreement with available experimental data.
