Synthesis and characterization of Sr3Al2O6：Eu2＋, Dy3＋ phosphors prepared by sol-gel-combustion processing

A type of red luminescent Sr3Al2O6:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor powder is synthesised by sol-gel-combustion processing, with metal nitrates used as the source of metal ions and citric acid as a chelating agent of metal ions. By tracing the formation process of the sol-gel, it is found that it is necessary to reduce the amount of NO3- by dropping ethanol into the solution for forming a stable and homogeneous sol-gel. Thermogravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimeter Analysis, x-ray diffractionmeter, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are used to investigate the luminescent properties of the as-synthesised Sr3Al2O6:Eu2+, Dy3+. The results reveal that the Sr3Al2O6 crystallises completely when the combustion ash is sintered at 1250 C. The excitation and the emission spectra indicate that the excitation broadband lies mainly in a visible range and the phosphors emit a strong light at 618 nm under the excitation of 472 nm. The afterglow of (Sr0.94Eu0.03Dy0.03)3Al2O6 phosphors sintered at 1250 ℃ lasts for over 1000 s when the excited source is cut off.     

溶剂效应对聚苯撑乙烯掺杂二酰亚胺太阳电池性能的影响

研究了不同溶剂对2-甲氧基-5-(2-乙基己氧基)-1,4-对苯撑乙烯(MEH-PPV):N,N′-二(1-乙基丙基)-3,4,9,10-四羧酸二亚酰胺(EP-PTC)复合膜的形貌及其对以MEH-PPV:EP-PTC复合膜为活性层的太阳电池性能的影响.结果表明:非芳香性溶剂不利于MEH-PPV与EP-PTC的相容,MEH-PPV与EP-PTC两相间形成微米尺寸(0.5—5μm)的相分离,因而以MEH-PPV:EP-PTC复合膜为活性层的太阳电池中的电荷分离效率较低,进而电池的能量转换效率较低.而芳香性溶剂有利于MEH-PPV与EP-PTC的相容,MEH-PPV与EP-PTC两相间能形成纳米尺度的相分离,因此MEH-PPV与EP-PTC两相间的界面面积明显增加,界面处的电荷分离概率明显提高.与非芳香性溶剂相比,基于芳香性溶剂的复合膜太阳电池的能量转换效率提高了20倍.     

Analysis of the generation mechanism of the S-shaped J—V curves of MoS2/Si-based solar cells

Amorphous-microcrystalline MoS$_{2}$ thin films are fabricated using the sol-gel method to produce MoS$_{2}$/Si-based solar cells. The generation mechanisms of the S-shaped current density-voltage ($J$-$V$) curves of the solar cells are analyzed. To improve the performance of the solar cells and address the problem of the S-shaped $J$-$V$ curve, a MoS$_{2}$ film and a p$^+$ layer are introduced into the front and back interfaces of the solar cell, respectively, which leads to the formation of a p-n junction between the p-Si and the MoS$_{2}$ film as well as ohmic contacts between the MoS$_{2}$ film and the ITO, improving the S-shaped $J$-$V$ curve. As a result of the high doping characteristics and the high work function of the p$^+$ layer, a high-low junction is formed between the p$^+$ and p layers along with ohmic contacts between the p$^+$ layer and the Ag electrode. Consequently, the S-shaped $J$-$V$ curve is eliminated, and a significantly higher current density is achieved at a high voltage. The device exhibits ideal p-n junction rectification characteristics and achieves a high power-conversion efficiency (CE) of 7.55%. The findings of this study may improve the application of MoS$_{2}$ thin films in silicon-based solar cells, which are expected to be widely used in various silicon-based electronic and optical devices.

120kW级燃料电池可变喉口引射器的设计及特性

引射器是质子交换膜燃料电池氢气循环系统中的关键部件，依靠超音速流动的射流工质实现阳极排气的再循环。传统的固定结构引射器通常针对电堆额定工况设计，工作在非设计工况时性能较差；而可变喉口引射器可以动态地改变其喉口大小，有效扩大其工作范围。基于Sokolov设计理论，搭建了引射器的一维模型并探究了其工作特性，在此基础上提出了一种可变喉口引射器的设计方法。研究结果表明，引射器的工作特性主要受其操作压力、喉口直径和混合室直径影响；通过缩小喉口、提高工作流体压力可以使工作喷嘴保持临界状态，这对大负载下的引射性能影响较小，但能够有效提高电堆小负载下的引射比，并使引射器的工作范围向小负载扩展。     

Microscopic calculation of the magnetic field of neutron stars

Based on the Dirac equation describing an electron moving in a uniform and cylindrically symmetric magnetic field which may be the result of the self-consistent mean field of the electrons themselves in a neutron star, we have obtained the eigen solutions and the orbital magnetic moments of electrons in which each eigen orbital can be calculated. From the eigen energy spectrum we find that the lowest energy level is the highly degenerate orbitals with the quantum numbers pZ=0, n=0, and m≥0. At the ground state, the electrons fill the lowest eigen states to form many Landau magnetic cells and each cell is a circular disk with the radius λfree and the thickness λe, where λfree is the electron mean free path determined by Coulomb cross section and electron density and λe is the electron Compton wavelength. The magnetic moment of each cell and the number of cells in the neutron star are calculated, from which the total magnetic moment and magnetic field of the neutron star can be calculated. The results are compared with the observational data and the agreement is reasonable.

The potential use of mesenchymal stem cells in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

In the last 10 years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a therapeutic approach to regenerative medicine, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and many more due to their potential to differentiate into various tissues, to repair damaged tissues and organs, and also for their immunomodulatory properties. Findings in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated immune regulatory function of MSCs and have facilitated their application in clinical trials, such as those of autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases. There has been an increasing interest in the role of MSCs in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), including hematopoietic stem cell engraftment and the prevention and treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and their therapeutic potential has been reported in numerous clinical trials. Although the safety of clinical application of MSCs is established, further modifications to improve their efficacy are required. In this review, we summarize advances in the potential use of MSCs in HSCT. In addition, we discuss their use in clinical trials of the treatment of GVHD following HSCT, the immunomodulatory capacity of MSCs, and their regenerative and therapeutic potential in the field of HSCT.
