Synthesis and Characterization of the Orthorhombic Sn3O4 Polymorph

An unexplored tin oxide crystal phase (Sn₃O₄) was experimentally synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. After tuning the often-neglected parameters for the hydrothermal synthesis, namely the degree of filling of the precursor solution and the gas composition in the reactor head space, an unreported X-ray diffraction pattern was discovered. Through various characterization studies, such as Rietveld analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations, this novel material was characterized as orthorhombic mixed-valence tin oxide with the composition Sn^II₂Sn^IVO₄. This orthorhombic tin oxide is a new polymorph of Sn₃O₄, which differs from the reported conventional monoclinic structure. Computational and experimental analyses showed that orthorhombic Sn₃O₄ has a smaller band gap (2.0 eV), enabling greater absorption of visible light. This study is expected to improve the accuracy of hydrothermal synthesis and aid the discovery of new oxide materials.     

Arene-Perfluoroarene Force Driven Sublimation-Removable Chiral Coassemblies

Multiple constituent coassembly is an emerging strategy to manipulate supramolecular chirality and chiroptical properties such as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). However, the second or third constituent could not be removed from pristine self-assembly. Here we developed a constitute-removable chiral coassembly using sublimation that could realize coassembly with tunable supramolecular chirality, luminescence and CPL properties. Octafluoronapthalene (OFN) with small sublimation enthalpy formed coassemblies with perylene-conjugated peptoids via arene-perfluoroarene (AP) interaction that induced the emergence of macroscopic chirality and hypsochromic luminescence from yellow to green. Coassembly with OFN accelerated one-dimensional growth and induced the emergence of macroscopic chirality and CPL. Despite the stability at ambient conditions, vacuum-treatment triggered fast sublimation of OFN, which behaved as a sacrificial template. Physical removal of OFN retained the helical nanoarchitectures as well as the basic features of Cotton effects and CPL activities. X-ray diffraction suggested the back-fill consolidation occurred on the molecular voids by OFN removal that slightly varied the templated molecular arrangements. Sublimation of perfluorinated building units is green and efficient and non-destructive, which is potentially applicable in constructing template-directed chiroptical materials and devices.     

Facile,Versatile and Stepwise Synthesis of High-Performance Oligomer Acceptors for Stable Organic Solar Cells

Oligomer acceptors have recently emerged as promising photovoltaic materials for achieving high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and long-term stability in organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the limited availability of diverse acceptors, resulting from the sole synthetic approach, has hindered their potential for future industrialization. In this study, we present a facile and effective stepwise approach that utilizes two consecutive Stille coupling reactions for the synthesis of oligomer acceptors. To demonstrate the feasibility of the novel approach, we successfully synthesize a trimer acceptor, Tri-Y6-OD, and further systematically investigate the impact of oligomerization on device performance and stability. The results reveal that this approach has significant advantages compared to the conventional method, including reduced formation of unwanted by-products and lower difficulties in purification. Remarkably, the OSC based on PM6 : Tri-Y6-OD achieves an impressive PCE of 18.03 % and maintains 80 % of the initial PCE (T₈₀) for 1523 h under illumination, surpassing the performance of the corresponding small molecule acceptor Y6-OD-based device. Furthermore, the versatility of the synthetic strategy in obtaining diverse acceptors is further demonstrated. Overall, our findings provide a facile, versatile and stepwise way for synthesizing oligomer acceptors, thereby facilitating the development of stable and efficient OSCs.     

Exclusive Co-N4 Sites Confined in Two-dimensional Metal-Organic Layers Enabling Highly Selective CO2 Electroreduction at Industrial-Level Current

Metal-organic framework catalysts bring new opportunities for CO₂ electrocatalysis. Herein, we first conduct density-functional theory calculations and predict that Co-based porphyrin porous organic layers (Co-PPOLs) exhibit good activity for CO₂ conversion because of the low *CO adsorption energy at Co-N₄ sites, which facilitates *CO desorption and CO formation. Then, we prepare two-dimensional Co-PPOLs with exclusive Co-N₄ sites through a facile surfactant-assisted bottom-up method. The ultrathin feature ensures the exposure of catalytic centers. Together with large specific area, high electrical conductivity and CO₂ adsorption capability, Co-PPOLs achieve a peak faradaic efficiency for CO production (FE_CO=94.2 %) at a moderate potential in CO₂ electroreduction, accompanied with good stability. Moreover, Co-PPOLs reach an industrial-level current above 200 mA in a membrane electrode assembly reactor, and maintain near-unity CO selectivity (FE_CO>90 %) over 20 h in CO₂ electrolysis.     

Determination of volumetric shrinkage of thermally cured thermosets using video-imaging

Video-imaging is one method of analyzing the shrinkage of resins. For the measurement, a drop of resin is placed near an illumination source and its contour is imaged from the front with a camera. This paper presents a further development, detailed investigation and verification of this technique to analyze the chemical shrinkage of thermally cured epoxy resins during cure. A new cylindrical sample holder was developed which enables the automated detection of the baseline, as well as defining the scale within the pictures. In a test series, the resin's volume was varied, as well as its contour. The findings confirm that the measured volume shrinkage is independent of the drop shape.Finally, the obtained shrinkage results were verified and evaluated in comparison with values measured by a mercury dilatometer and a rheometer. The shrinkage results of the investigated new method are in good accordance with the more established methods.     

Systematic approach to optimize a pretreatment method for ultrasensitive liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis of multiple target compounds in biological samples

In current approaches for new drug development, highly sensitive and robust analytical methods for the determination of test compounds in biological samples are essential. These analytical methods should be optimized for every target compound. However, for biological samples that contain multiple compounds as new drug candidates obtained by cassette dosing tests, it would be preferable to develop a single method that allows the determination of all compounds at once. This study aims to establish a systematic approach that enables a selection of the most appropriate pretreatment method for multiple target compounds without the use of their chemical information. We investigated the retention times of 27 known compounds under different mobile phase conditions and determined the required pretreatment of human plasma samples using several solid‐phase and liquid–liquid extractions. From the relationship between retention time and recovery in a principal component analysis, appropriate pretreatments were categorized into several types. Based on the category, we have optimized a pretreatment method for the identification of three calcium channel blockers in human plasma. Plasma concentrations of these drugs in a cassette‐dose clinical study at microdose level were successfully determined with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.2 pg/mL for diltiazem, 1 pg/mL for nicardipine, and 2 pg/mL for nifedipine.
