纳米ZnO墨水的溶剂及浓度优化及其在钙钛矿太阳能电池中的应用

纳米金属Zn O作为界面缓冲材料能够有效提高基于有机金属卤化物-甲基碘化铵的钙钛矿(PVSK)太阳能电池的水氧稳定性,是溶液制备高稳定性钙钛矿太阳能电池的一个关键技术。而在器件的制备过程中,Zn O分散溶剂的渗透可能导致下层钙钛矿薄膜的结构物性发生变化,从而对器件性能造成显著的影响。为解决该问题,本文详细分析了不同极性有机溶剂对Zn O分散性的影响,研究了不同溶剂对PVSK/PCBM薄膜的吸收光谱和晶体结构的影响,最终获得了甲醇-正丁醇混合溶剂的体积比为1∶1、Zn O质量浓度为10 mg·m L-1的优化分散体系,为进一步开展全溶液法制备钙钛矿太阳能电池提供了重要指导。     

Invisible Security Ink Based on Water‐Soluble Graphitic Carbon Nitride Quantum Dots

Stimuli‐responsive photoluminescent (PL) materials have been widely used as fluorescent ink for data security applications. However, traditional fluorescent inks are limited in maintaining the secrecy of information because the inks are usually visible by naked eyes either under ambient light or UV‐light illumination. Here, we introduced metal‐free water‐soluble graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g‐CNQDs) as invisible security ink for information coding, encryption, and decryption. The information written by the g‐CNQDs is invisible in ambient light and UV light, but it can be readable by a fluorescence microplate reader. Moreover, the information can be encrypted and decrypted by using oxalic acid and sodium bicarbonate as encryption reagent and decryption reagent, respectively. Our findings provide new opportunities for high‐level information coding and protection by using water‐soluble g‐CNQDs as invisible security ink.     

Solid ink-printed filter paper as a green adsorbent material for the solid-phase extraction of UV filters from water samples

This work describes the development of a new green solid-phase extraction approach, which is based on the use of low-cost extraction discs composed of plain filter papers that are covered with a synthetic wax-like coating. The filter papers are printed in a commercial solid ink printer, which dispenses a synthetic wax-like ink on the surface of the paper, to cover the hydrophilic cellulose fibre matrix with an interface of lipophilic domains where non-polar analytes can partition through hydrophobic interactions. The modified paper filters were used to extract hydrophobic organic compounds from water samples following the customary procedure of solid-phase extraction without sorbent preconditioning and needless of high-vacuum sources. As a proof-of-concept application, a series of non-polar organic UV filters were used as model analytes to optimise the extraction parameters and evaluate the performance of the method in spiked water samples. Based on this principle, a new sample preparation platform with low environmental footprint has been developed that enables extraction to be carried out using low-cost, environmental benign and non-toxic conventional materials. The advantages and disadvantages of the method, alongside with its future prospects towards the development of custom-made ‘printed extraction kits’, are envisioned and discussed.

Numerical characterization of ultraviolet ink fluid agglomeration and the surfactant effect in nanoinkjet printing

Ultraviolet (UV) ink is a major ink type used in additive manufacturing via 3D inkjet printing. A major challenge in nanoinkjet printing is ink agglomeration. Among the UV ink components, oligomers have the highest tendency to agglomerate which can agitate the stability and quality of the printing fluid and possibly lead to nanoscale nozzle clogging. In this work, the first numerical study on the UV ink fluid, UV ink is modeled by using dissipative particle dynamics to study mesoscale agglomeration. The constituents of the ink model are composed of polystyrene and polyethylene glycol as photopolymers, BZP as a photoinitiator, and SDS as a surfactant. Styrene is a prevalent and established commercial photopolymer in present 3D inkjet applications, while ethylene glycol is a photopolymer known to improve ink viscosity. The morphological characteristics of the UV ink are studied here, where the results for different models from four cases considered here show how the kind of photopolymers and their constituent ratios affect the agglomeration morphology of the fluidic system. The existence of both oligomers and monomers results in mutual morphological benefits against agglomeration, while the photoinitiator occurs between photopolymers. In addition, we find that the surfactant can reduce the average size of agglomeration and improve the dispersion uniformity by increasing the number of agglomerates. These results highlight the important role additives can play to prevent, reduce, and control various forms of agglomeration to achieve enhanced nanoinkjet printing quality.
