Blinking Beats Bleaching: The Control of Superoxide Generation by Photo‐ionized Perovskite Nanocrystals

Moisture‐ or oxidation‐induced degradation is a major challenge in the advancement of perovskites‐based technology. The oxidation is caused by electron transfer from a photo‐excited perovskite nanocrystal to oxygen and the formation of superoxide that disintegrates the perovskite structure. In air, the emission intensity of a methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃) perovskite nanocrystal continuously decreases, whereas a nanocrystal in argon or a polymer shows exceptionally stable emission intensity. Surprisingly, in air, the emission intensity of a nanocrystal with long‐lived OFF states completely recovers after the OFF state. This property, along with the rate of non‐radiative relaxation that exceeds the rate of electron transfer suggest that the perovskite nanocrystals produce and react with superoxide in the excited neutral state, but not in the ionized state. In other words, the ultrafast non‐radiative relaxation in the ionized state hinders electron transfer to oxygen and prevents oxidation of perovskites.     

利用电子顺磁共振和紫外/可见吸收光谱研究熔融KNO3-NaNO2-NaNO3盐分解过程中的超氧负离子

On account of excellent thermal physical properties, molten nitrates/nitrites salt has been widely employed in heat transfer and thermal storage industry, especially in concentrated solar power system. The thermal stability study of molten nitrate/nitrite salt is of great importance for this system, and the decomposition mechanism is the most complicated part of it. The oxide species O₂^2- and O₂^- were considered as intermediates in molten KNO₃-NaNO₃ while hard to been detected in high temperature molten salt due to their trace concentration and low stability. In this work, the homemade in situ high temperature UVVis instrument and a commercial electron paramagnetic resonance were utilized to supply evidence for the formation of superoxide during a slow decomposition process of heat transfer salt (HTS, 53 wt% KNO₃/40 wt% NaNO₂/7 wt% NaNO₃). It is found that the superoxide is more easily generated from molten NaNO₂ compared to NaNO₃, and it has an absorption band at 420-440 nm in HTS which red shifts as temperature increases. The band is assigned to charge-transfer transition in NaO₂ or KO₂, responsible for the yellow color of the molten nitrate/nitrite salt. Furthermore, the UV absorption bands of molten NaNO₂ and NaNO₃ are also obtained and compared with that of HTS.

New Active Organic Substance in Oyster Shell Capable of Scavenging Oxygen Free Radicals with High Efficiency

A light purple organic active substance capable of scavenging hydroxyl radical（OH） with a high efficiency was extracted from Oyster shell at an extraction rate of 2.49%. It was found for the first time that this active substance may scavenge OH with the efficiency far higher than that of vitamin C. This active substance may scavenge also superoxide radical（O2） although the scavenging efficiency is far lower than that of vitamin C. Infrared spectrometry and routine chemical analysis primarily reveal that this active substance belongs to glycoprotein.
