On the Understandings of Dielectric Constant and Its Impacts on the Photovoltaic Efficiency in Organic Solar Cells

Dielectric constant(ε)is an important parameter affecting the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells(OSC).Increasingεof bulk heterojunctions in general can benefit the performance of OSCs,as an increasedεwill reduce the influence of Coulomb interaction between weakly bound electron-hole pairs on charge-transfer states or bimolecular recombination involving mobile carriers to reduce geminate and nongeminate losses.In this review,we overview the current understandings on dielectric constant and its impacts on exciton dissociation and voltage losses in OSCs and summarize recent efforts attempting to modify the dielectric properties of OSC materials through synthetic approaches.We further discuss the commonly adopted techniques for determining the parameter ofεwith stressing the testing conditions that may affect the accuracy of results.At last,we suggest that novel experimental methods to improve the dielectric constant and resultant physical processes in OSCs will be appreciated,which helps enrich the existing strategy reservoir toward enhancement of photovoltaic efficiencies.

低相对分子质量有机酸对α-FeO(OH)吸附As(Ⅲ)的影响

制备并表征了α-FeO(OH),探究了4种低相对分子质量有机酸(LMW)对α-FeO(OH)吸附As(Ⅲ)的影响,并阐明了机理。 单一和混合LMW对α-FeO(OH)吸附As(Ⅲ)均有抑制作用,4种LMW的影响大小顺序为:草酸(OA)>柠檬酸(CA)>乳酸(LA)、水杨酸(SA)。 混合LMW的影响为:OA会加剧CA对α-FeO(OH)吸附As(Ⅲ)的影响,而SA几乎不起作用。 当ρ(As(Ⅲ))较低,LMW通过与α-FeO(OH)的静电引力、与α-FeO(OH)表面的铁离子形成配合物、生成沉淀从而影响α-FeO(OH)对As(Ⅲ)的吸附;当ρ(As(Ⅲ))较高,LMW还通过阻碍As(Ⅲ)在α-FeO(OH)上的扩散和沉淀作用产生影响。 实验结果为土壤中As(Ⅲ)的迁移转化、污染治理提供技术支撑。     

Similar or different: the same Spiro-core but different alkyl chains with apparently improved device performance of perovskite solar cells

By intelligently utilizing the odd-even effect existing in the melting points of alkanes as presented in the basic textbook of Organic Chemistry, different alkoxy groups were introduced to modify the structure of commercial Spiro-OMeTAD to give new Spiro derivatives of Spiro-OEtTAD, Spiro-OPrTAD, Spiro-OiPrTAD and Spiro-OBuTAD, with the aim to adjust the molecular packing status in perovskite solar cells as hole transporting compounds. Excitedly, with the introduction of ethoxy groups instead of the methoxy ones in Spiro-OMeTAD, Spiro-OEtTAD-based perovskite solar cells demonstrated the highest device performance of 20.16%, higher than that of Spiro-OMeTAD(18.64%).     

The Molecular Structure and Self-Assembly Behavior of Reductive Amination of Oxidized Alginate Derivative for Hydrophobic Drug Delivery

On account of the rigid structure of alginate chains, the oxidation-reductive amination reaction was performed to synthesize the reductive amination of oxidized alginate derivative (RAOA) that was systematically characterized for the development of pharmaceutical formulations. The molecular structure and self-assembly behavior of the resultant RAOA was evaluated by an FT-IR spectrometer, a ¹H NMR spectrometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), a fluorescence spectrophotometer, rheology, a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). In addition, the loading and in vitro release of ibuprofen for the RAOA microcapsules prepared by the high-speed shearing method, and the cytotoxicity of the RAOA microcapsules against the murine macrophage RAW264.7 cell were also studied. The experimental results indicated that the hydrophobic octylamine was successfully grafted onto the alginate backbone through the oxidation-reductive amination reaction, which destroyed the intramolecular hydrogen bond of the raw sodium alginate (SA), thereby enhancing its molecular flexibility to achieve the self-assembly performance of RAOA. Consequently, the synthesized RAOA displayed good amphiphilic properties with a critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of 0.43 g/L in NaCl solution, which was significantly lower than that of SA, and formed regular self-assembled micelles with an average hydrodynamic diameter of 277 nm (PDI = 0.19) and a zeta potential of about −69.8 mV. Meanwhile, the drug-loaded RAOA microcapsules had a relatively high encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 87.6 % and good sustained-release properties in comparison to the drug-loaded SA aggregates, indicating the good affinity of RAOA to hydrophobic ibuprofen. The swelling and degradation of RAOA microcapsules and the diffusion of the loaded drug jointly controlled the release rate of ibuprofen. Moreover, it also displayed low cytotoxicity against the RAW264.7 cell, similar to the SA aggregates. In view of the excellent advantages of RAOA, it is expected to become the ideal candidate for hydrophobic drug delivery in the biomedical field.     

Fabrication and Evaluation of Alginate/Bacterial Cellulose Nanocrystals–Chitosan–Gelatin Composite Scaffolds

It is common knowledge that pure alginate hydrogel is more likely to have weak mechanical strength, a lack of cell recognition sites, extensive swelling and uncontrolled degradation, and thus be unable to satisfy the demands of the ideal scaffold. To address these problems, we attempted to fabricate alginate/bacterial cellulose nanocrystals-chitosan-gelatin (Alg/BCNs-CS-GT) composite scaffolds using the combined method involving the incorporation of BCNs in the alginate matrix, internal gelation through the hydroxyapatite-d-glucono-δ-lactone (HAP-GDL) complex, and layer-by-layer (LBL) electrostatic assembly of polyelectrolytes. Meanwhile, the effect of various contents of BCNs on the scaffold morphology, porosity, mechanical properties, and swelling and degradation behavior was investigated. The experimental results showed that the fabricated Alg/BCNs-CS-GT composite scaffolds exhibited regular 3D morphologies and well-developed pore structures. With the increase in BCNs content, the pore size of Alg/BCNs-CS-GT composite scaffolds was gradually reduced from 200 μm to 70 μm. Furthermore, BCNs were fully embedded in the alginate matrix through the intermolecular hydrogen bond with alginate. Moreover, the addition of BCNs could effectively control the swelling and biodegradation of the Alg/BCNs-CS-GT composite scaffolds. Furthermore, the in vitro cytotoxicity studies indicated that the porous fiber network of BCNs could fully mimic the extracellular matrix structure, which promoted the adhesion and spreading of MG63 cells and MC3T3-E1 cells on the Alg/BCNs-CS-GT composite scaffolds. In addition, these cells could grow in the 3D-porous structure of composite scaffolds, which exhibited good proliferative viability. Based on the effect of BCNs on the cytocompatibility of composite scaffolds, the optimum BCNs content for the Alg/BCNs-CS-GT composite scaffolds was 0.2% (w/v). On the basis of good merits, such as regular 3D morphology, well-developed pore structure, controlled swelling and biodegradation behavior, and good cytocompatibility, the Alg/BCNs-CS-GT composite scaffolds may exhibit great potential as the ideal scaffold in the bone tissue engineering field.
