The Influence of Ceramic Far-Infrared Ray (cFIR) Irradiation on Water Hydrogen Bonding and its Related Chemo-physical Properties
摘要: The property of water is highly related to the earth's environment and climate change. The fundamental dynamical process of water is include formation and breaking of hydrogen bonds. This dynamic process, so far, is still poorly understood. We investigated weakening of the hydrogen bonds of water after ceramic Far-Infrared Ray (cFIR) irradiation and the resulting effects on physical and chemical properties of water. In this study, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to explore hydrogen bonding change of cFIR-irradiated water; in addition, capillary viscometers, Gas Chromatographs (GC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), contact angles, Franz cells, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and capillary electrophoresis analysis were used to evaluate its physical characteristics, such as viscosity, volatility, temperatures of water crystallization, surface tension, diffusion, hydrogen peroxide dissociation, solubility of solid particles, and changes in pH of acetic acid. The cFIR treated water decreased in viscosity and surface tension (contact angles), but increased in the solubility of solid particles, hydrogen peroxide dissociation, temperatures of water crystallization, and acidity of acetic acid. The weakening of water hydrogen bonds caused by cFIR irradiation is correspondent with our previous medical-biological studies on cFIR.

High-Performance Lignin-based Water-Soluble Macromolecular Photoinitiator for the Fabrication of Hybrid Hydrogel
摘要: Developing low-migration macromolecular photoinitiators (macro PIs) is significant to achieve the sufficient biosafety of photopolymers. In this study, for the first time lignin was introduced into photoinitiating systems. A novel lignin-based water-soluble macro PI (L-PEG-2959) was designed and synthesized by introducing water-soluble PEG chain and photoinitiating moiety into lignin backbone simultaneously. A series of characterizations were performed, including 1H NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis, GPC and TGA analysis, which indicated that L-PEG-2959 has excellent light absorption property within 200–400 nm, high initiating efficiency and superior water-solubility. Additionally, L-PEG-2959 could be compatible well with glycidyl methacrylate modified gelatin (Gel-GMA) and initiate the photopolymerization of Gel-GMA quickly under UV irradiation to form a chemical crosslinking hybrid hydrogel. Compared with the neat hydrogel made by Gel-GMA initiated with Irgacure2959, a commercial small molecular PI, the hybrid hydrogels presented controllable swelling property, increased mechanical strength, remarkably reduced precipitates and enhanced biosafety. The results indicated the great potential of lignin-based macro PIs in preparing biosafety photopolymers.

Vapor-liquid-equilibria of fuel-nitrogen systems at engine-like conditions measured with Raman spectroscopy in micro capillaries
摘要: A fuel, here ethanol or decane, and nitrogen are fed at elevated pressure and temperature through a micro capillary of fused silica. The flow inside the capillary is characterized by alternating liquid- and vapor-phase segments that accommodate to thermodynamic equilibrium at the set temperature and pressure. The composition of the equilibrated liquid or vapor segments is measured in situ and remotely inside the micro capillary by Raman spectroscopy. Temperature-composition (Tx) vapor-liquid equilibria were measured for pressures between 3 MPa and 8 MPa and up to the highest mixture critical temperature of 593 K in this pressure range. Comparison to the scarce literature data for these conditions and to the GERG-2008 model, resembling the conditions in IC-engines at the time of injection, is shown.

Enhancement of dopant solubility in compound semiconductors during crystal growth
摘要: Doping of semiconductors is a process of intentionally incorporating impurity into the materials to adjust and optimize the electrical properties during the processing of semiconductors. The doping level has certain upper limit, which is usually corresponding to the solubility of the dopant in the host material under processing conditions. Sometimes, the maximum solubility level is still not high enough to provide the desired opto-electronic properties and a higher doping level is needed. Hence, enhancing the dopant level is one of the critical issues in the semiconductor industry, especially for those advanced devices made from compound semiconductors, including binary, ternary, as well as multi-component compounds. In this report, we designed a processing method, by simply varying a processing parameter during melt growth, to increase the doping level in the compound semiconductors well above the maximum values obtained under otherwise regular processing procedures and demonstrated it in the melt growth of Cl-doped PbTe.

Extrinsic Defects in Crystalline MoO <sub/>3</sub> : Solubility and Effect on the Electronic Structure
摘要: The effect of six potential contaminants (Cu, In, Ga, Se, Sn and Zn) and five potential dopants (Ti, Mn, Sc, V and Y) on the electronic and optical properties of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) contact layers for solar cells was investigated using point defect analysis informed by density functional theory simulations. Of the contaminants investigated, Sn, In and Ga were found to be highly insoluble at all relevant temperatures and pressures, and therefore not a concern for solar cell manufacturing. Zn, Cu and Se exhibit some solubility, with the latter two appearing to introduce detrimental defect states near the valence band. This contamination can be avoided by increasing the O2 partial pressure during MoO3 deposition. Out of five potential aliovalent dopants, Sc, Ti and Y were disregarded due to their limited solubility in MoO3, while V was found to be highly soluble and Mn somewhat soluble. The effect of Mn and V doping was shown to be strongly dependent on the O2 partial pressure during deposition with a high pO2 favoring the formation of substitutional defects (potentially beneficial in the case of Mn doping due to the addition of defects states near the conduction band) while low pO2 favors interstitial defects.

General Synthesis Principles for Ruddlesden-Popper Hybrid Perovskite Halides from a Dynamic Equilibrium
摘要: Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper hybrid perovskites are a homologous series of compounds with the formula A’2An–1BnX3n+1 (A’ = bulky organic cation; A = small organic cation; B = Pb2+ or Sn2+, X = Cl–, Br–, I–; n is an integer) composed of inorganic octahedra layers separated by organic spacer cations. The octahedral layer thickness is modified by the stoichiometry of the A site cation, but limited methods exist for controlled and discriminating synthesis for all compositions. We report a general synthesis method and its principles that yield phase-pure 2D hybrid perovskites; the chemistry operates within a dynamic equilibrium established by the molar solubility of the compounds within the homologous series. A solvent-antisolvent (HI-acetic acid) pair and the common-ion effect provide selective control over the molar solubility to precipitate phase-pure compounds, as is supported by simple and predictive calculations. Here, this approach is demonstrated in detail with A’ = n-butylammonium, A = methylammonium, and n ≤ 3 and is applied to the synthesis and discovery of materials with other bulky ammonium cations (e.g., iso-butylammonium and benzylammonium).

Bulk-heterojunction polymer photovoltaic cells manufactured using non-halogenated and non-aromatic solvent
摘要: The use of photovoltaic devices as converters of solar energy into electricity is a relevant technology to the global energy needs and, at the same time, it mitigates the negative impact on the environment caused by conventional sources. Although polymer solar cells are properly considered as clean and renewable source of electricity production, the processing involved in the manufacture of such devices still contains toxic elements. The formation of thin films of active layer in bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells, as example, usually uses halogenated solvents as chlorobenzene (CB), dichlorobenzene (DCB), or chloroform (CF), which represent certain risks of toxicity to the human body and to the environment. This work aims to show that it is possible to manufacture organic solar cells using less-toxic solvents, in special to the environment, whose final efficiency results are similar to those that have been processed by conventional halogenated solvents. With the aid of the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP), we identified non-halogenated and non-aromatic solvent that showed chemical compatibility with donor polymers and acceptor molecules used in the device’s active layer. The fabricated devices were then characterized and their photovoltaic responses compared to the conventional equivalents.

High-quality Concentrated Precursor Solution in N,N-dimethylformamide for Thick Methylammonium Triiodoplumbate Layer in Solar Cells
摘要: High-quality precursor solution is essential for the fabrication of hybrid perovskite solar cells. This paper reports a simple and efficient method of preparing the high-quality concentrated solution of methylammonium triiodoplumbate (MAPbI3) in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) by using MAPbI3 crystal instead of conventional lead iodine and methylammonium iodine blend. The MAPbI3 concentration of the precursor solution is easily and accurately adjusted from zero up to 1.64 M. The investigation on the dissolution process of the MAPbI3 crystal reveals that the concentrated solution of MAPbI3 in DMF is metastable, and transition from the concentrated solution to solvated intermediate MAPbI3?DMF determines the solubility of MAPbI3 in DMF. The high purity and precise stoichiometric ratio of the crystal eliminate the possible impurities that initialize the transition to MAPbI3?DMF, and consequently suppress the transition and increase the stability of the concentrated solution. MAPbI3 films with different thickness up to 800 nm are prepared with conventional film fabrication technique, and a highest power conversion efficiency of 20.7% is achieved on corresponding solar cells. The newly developed method to prepare the concentrated precursor solution can be easily combined with other fabrication techniques for the further development of industrial-scale manufacture of solar cells.

Ice Confinement-Induced Solubilization and Aggregation of Cyanonaphthol Revealed by Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Lifetime Measurements
摘要: When an aqueous salt solution freezes, a freeze concentrated solution (FCS) separates from ice. The properties of the FCS may differ from those of a supercooled bulk solution of the same ionic strength at the same temperature. The fluorescence and lifetime characteristics of 6-cyano-2-naphthol (6CN) were studied in frozen NaCl solutions to provide an insight into the solution properties of the FCS. While the photoacidity of 6CN in an FCS is similar to that in solution, several anomalous behaviors are observed. Fluorescence spectra indicate that the solubility of 6CN is significantly enhanced in the FCS (50 mM or higher) compared to that in bulk NaCl solution, where the solubility limit is 250 μM. The high solubility induces aggregation of 6CN in the FCS, which is not detected in bulk solutions. This trend becomes marked as the initial NaCl concentration decreases, that is, the FCS is confined in a small space. The fluorescence lifetimes of 6CN in the FCS support the spectroscopy results. In addition to the species identified by fluorescence spectroscopy, excimers are assigned from lifetime measurements in the FCS. The excimer formation is also a result of the enhanced solubility of 6CN in the FCS.

Synthesis of Water Soluble CuGaS2/ZnS Quantum Dots for Ultrasensitive Fluorescent Detection of Alkaline Phosphatase Based on Inner Filter Effect
摘要: Developing monitoring technique for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is crucial due to the important role it plays in living cells. Here, a kind of biocompatible glutathione-modified CuGaS2/ZnS quantum dots (GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs) was used as a fluorescent substance and then fabricated “turn-off” fluorescent biosensor for detection of ALP by help of inner filter effect (IFE). Firstly, we prepared CuGaS2/ZnS (CGS/ZnS) QDs using solvothermal method and explored the efficient ligand (GSH) exchanges strategy for transferring oil-soluble CGS/ZnS QDs to aqueous phase. More importantly, we also explored the potential biological applications of the nanohybrid QDs. The obtained GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs emitted strong yellow fluorescence with the maximum excitation (400 nm) and emission (601 nm). Then, GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs were mixed with p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNPP) and ALP. PNPP could be hydrolyzed to p-nitrophenol (PNP) by help of catalysis of ALP, and the excitation spectrum of the GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs overlapped well with the absorption spectrum of PNP, so the fluorescence of GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs was initially quenched via the so-called “IFE”. Finally, a novel “turn-off” biosensor for sensitive detection of ALP in the range of 0.05-10 U L -1(R2 = 0.98) with a detection limit of 0.01 U L-1 was successfully obtained. Results indicated that I-III-VI2 nanocrystals have great potential for their promising biomedical application.
