Methods Alcohol and simulated gastric fluid (SGF) wereused to dissolve cisapride and HPMC in order to make the model drug dispersed homogeneously in thecarrier. The HPMC-cisapride solid dispersion was then obtained by conventional solvent evaporationmethod. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to measure the diffraction peaks of pure carrier,pure cisapride, physical mixture of HPMC with cisapride (4:1), and HPMC-cisapride solid dispersion(4:1) to confirm the crystal existence. The solubility of pure drug and HPMC-cisapride soliddispersion was measured with water, SGF and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) . The in vitro drugreleases of the sustained release tablet prepared with pure cisapride or HPMC-cisapride soliddispersion were investigated with water and SGF as media, respectively. Results No diffraction peakswere found by X-ray diffraction in the HPMC-cisapride solid dispersion (4:1), indicating that thedrug existed in an amorphous form at that drug-carrier ratio. Compared with the pure drug, thesolubilities of HPMC-cisapride solid dispersion are increased by 239.4% in SGF, 132.6% in water, and117.9% in SIF. According to the in vitro drug release, the sustained release tablet prepared withHPMC-cisapride solid dispersion had a faster drug release than did that prepared with pure drug. Thein vitro drug release profiles were found to comply with Higuchi's rule. Conclusion The in vitrodrug release of the sustained release tablet made by HPMC-cisapride solid dispersion is improvedowing to the increased drug solubility.展开更多

Hydrophobic ionic liquids were chosen as solvent that can promote the decomposition reaction of glucose, and the catalytic performance of the solid bases was evaluated. Both the reaction temperature and time can affect the yield of lactic acid. A high yield (97%) of lactic acid was achieved under the optimal reaction condition. The IH NMR spectra and HPLC-MS were used to identify the formation of the lactic acid and variations of ionic liquid. It is found that ionic-liquids have a unique solvent effect for glucose and bases. Water can be used as solvent to extract calcium lactate. This shows a great potential of hydrophobic ionic liquids in the solid bases catalyzed reaction that is limited by the weak solubility of solid bases in organic and water solution.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to enhance the hydrogen production rate from waste oils by using in-liquid plasma. Two types of microwave in-liquid plasma apparatus are adopted for hydrogen production. One is a conventional MW (microwave) oven, the other is a microwave generator with a waveguide to apply the in-liquid plasma steam reforming method in n-dodecane. The produced gas is 58%-90% hydrogen in these methods. The hydrogen production rate is improved by stabilization of the bubble growth. The gas production rate by plasma feeding steam in n-dodecane is 1.4 times higher than that without feeding steam.展开更多

The precipitates were first obtained by adding ammonium heptamolybdate ((NH4)6Mo7024·4H2O) solution into excess hydrazine hydrate solution, and then mixed the copper chloride solution. The precipitates were subsequently washed, dried, followed by reducing in H2 atmosphere to convert into Mo-Cu composite powders. The composition, morphology and particle size of the Mo-Cu composite powders were characterized by the XRD, SEM and TEM. The effects of the chemical reaction temperature and the magnetic stirring on the morphology of the Mo-Cu powders were also studied. The results show that Mo-Cu powders produced by the chemical liquid reduction process are nearly spherical shape and dispersive distribution state, with particle size ranging from 50 to 100 nm. The chemical reaction temperature and magnetic stirring will change the particle feature of the powders. Because of the Cu3M0209, the reduction process in H2 is the one-stage reduction from the precipitates to the Mo-Cu composite powders.展开更多

In the FGP, the ultra-dilute per- ovskite precursor solution is drop-cast onto a hot (-240℃) substrate where a perovskite film grows immediately ac- companied by the rapid evaporation of the host solvent. In this process, all the raw materials in the precursor solution are deposited into the final perovskite film. The potential pollution caused by Pb can be significantly reduced. Proper- ties of the FGP-processed perovskite films can be modulated by the precursor composition. While CH3NH3CI (MACI) affects the crystallization process and leads to full surface coverage, CH(NHz)2I (FAI) enhances the thermal stability of the film. Based on the optimized precursor composition of PbI2.(1-x)FAI.xMACI, x=0.75, FGP-processed planar het- erojunction perovskite solar cells exhibit power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 15% with suppressed hysteresis and excellent reproducibility.展开更多

Their crystal structures, optical transparency,chemical states and surface morphologies, along with the electrical properties, were dependent on Ga contents and annealing temperatures. The optimized GTO channel layer was applied in the high-k Al2O3 thin film transistor(TFT) with a low operation voltage of 2 V, a maximum field-effect mobility of 69 cm^2 V^-1 s^-1, a subthreshold swing(SS) of 76 mV dec^-1, a threshold voltage of 0.67 V and an on-off current ratio of 1.8×10^7. The solution-processed amorphousGTO-TFTs would promote the development of low-consumption, low-cost and high performance In-free TFT devices.展开更多

Many fabri- cation techniques have been utilized previously to develop high-performance perovskite layers but there remains an absence of a unifying model that describes accurately the formation of these materials from solution. The present study provides a thorough analysis of nucleation and growth kinetics underpinning the development of hybrid organic-in- organic perovskite thin-films. Through precise control of the perovskite growth conditions the spacing of heteroge- neous nucleation sites was varied successfully from several hundred nanometers to several hundred microns. The crystalline regions surrounding these nuclei were found to comprise clusters of highly-oriented crystal domains exceed- ing 100 pm in diameter. However, no beneficial correlation was found between the size of these well-oriented grain-clus- ters and the optoelectronic performance. The formation of the perovskite microstructure features characteristics of both classical and non-classical growth mechanisms. The insights into perovskite thin-film growth developed by the present study provide clear implications for the development of future hybrid perovskite microstructures.展开更多

TIPS-pentacene was used to demonstrate the fabrication of hundreds of field- effect transistors (FETs) with the hole mobility as high as 6.46 cm^2 V^-1.s^-1. As such, this work provides a high- throughput, yet efficient approach for statistical examination on the FET performance of organic single crystals.展开更多
