In-situ defect passivation assisted three-step printing of efficient and stable formamidine-lead bromide solar cells

Perovskite solar cells(PSCs)emerge as the most promising photovoltaics(PV)for their high performance and potential convenient cost-effective production routes comparing to the sophomore PV technologies.The printed PSCs with simplified device architecture and fabrication procedures could further enhance the competitive strength of PSC technology.In this work,we present an in-situ defect passivation(ISDP)assisted full-printing of high performance formamidine-lead bromide(FAPbBr_(3))PSCs.Only three rapid printing steps are involved for electron transporting layer(ETL),perovskite and carbon to form a complete solar cell on the low-cost fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO)substrate.Long-chain polymer monomethyl ether polyethylene glycol is particularly utilized as the ISDP passivator,leading to conformal coating on the rough FTO and defect passivation for both ETL and perovskite during printing.A high efficiency of 10.85%(certified 10.14%)and a high V_(oc)up to 1.57 V are achieved for the printed device.The unencapsulated PSCs maintain above 90%of the initial efficiency after continuously heating at 85℃for 1000 h and over 80%of the efficiency after the maximum power point tracking for 3500 h.The fully printed semitransparent PSCs with carbon grids(CGs)show average visible light transmittance over 33%and an efficiency of 8.81%.

Effect of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide on morphology and porous structure of mesoporous hydroxyapatite

The mesoporous hydroxyapatite （HA） was synthesized by hydrothermal method utilizing cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） as template. The crystalline phase, morphology and porous structure were characterized respectively by different detecting techniques. The results reveal that the particles are highly crystalline hydroxyapatite phase. The surfactant has little influence on the morphology of the crystals, but affects the porous structure obviously. The sample without CTAB has a low surface area not exceeding 33 m^2/g, and no distinct pores can be observed by TEM. While the samples obtained with the surfactant get better parameters. Numerous open-ended pores centered at 2-7 nm spread unequally on the surface of the hydroxyapatite nanorods. The N2 adsorption-desorption experiments show type IV isotherms with distinct hysteresis loops, illustrating the presence of mesoporous structure. When the mole ratio of CTAB to HA is 1：2, the sample has the largest surface area of 97.1 m^2/g and pore volume of 0.466 cm^3/g.

Binding tendency with oligonucleotides and cell toxicity of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide-coated single-walled carbon nanotubes

Functionalized carbon nanotubes （CNTs） were made for the delivery of genes and drugs and CNT-based biosensors. The basis of CNTs is for binding with biomolecules in biomedical applications. The binding tendency with small interfering RNA oligonucleotides and cytotoxicity of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide （CTAB）-coated single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） were studied. The field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy results show that a SWNT suspension in CTAB solution was well-dispersed and stable. CTAB is the cross-linker between SWNTs and oligonucleotides. The CTAB-coated SWNTs have less cytotoxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells than single SWNTs and the cytotoxicity of CTAB-coated SWNTs depended on the concentration of CTAB-coated SWNTs.

溴乙烯在外电场中的解离性质研究

溴乙烯具有极高的毒性,它不仅会污染环境,还会损害人类的身心健康.因此,研究它的分子结构及其解离方式,不仅具有重要的科学意义,而且也具有极高的社会意义.本文采用密度泛函理论(DFT),以B3LYP/6-31G++(d,p)基组,深入探索溴乙烯分子在0 V·nm^(-1)~80 V·nm^(-1)外电场的影响下,其分子结构和解离特性.通过计算,随着外电场的增强:分子总能量和碳碳双键(C=C)的键长减小,碳溴键(C-Br)的键长和偶极矩增大.能隙E_(G)先增大后减小,分子结构稳定性降低.红外光谱主要产生了6个特征吸收峰,且普遍存在红移现象.分子解离特性表现为:当外部电场强度升高时,势垒会显著减弱,直至达到154.26 V·nm^(-1)时,势垒就会完全消除,溴乙烯分子的解离能相应减弱,这表明,当外部电场强度升高时,溴乙烯分子会发生逐步的分解.因此,这一结论可以为进一步探讨溴乙烯分子和其相关的化合物的解离研究提供依据.

Cu(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ)Complexation with Acid Alizarine Blue B in the Presence of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide

The coordination reactions of Cu（Ⅱ） and Ni（Ⅱ） with acid alizarine blue B （AABB） in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） micelle were investigated using the microsurface adsorptionspectral correction technique （MSASC）. The aggregation of AABB on CTAB followed the Langmuir isothermal adsorption law. The enrichment of AABB on CTAB sensitized the complexation between Cu（Ⅱ） or Ni（Ⅱ）and AABB. The binding ratio of AABB to CTAB was 1：2.5, and monomeric aggregate, AABB2CTAB5, was formed with an adsorption constant of 5.95×10^5 at 20 ℃ or 2.48×10^5 at 40 ℃. In the ternary complexation, the ratio of AABB：Cu and AABB：Ni were 1：1 and 1：2.5, respectively. Two types of aggregates, Cu2.AABB2·CTAB80 and Ni5.AABB2.CTAB80, were formed.

CO_2 capture from binary mixture via forming hydrate with the help of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide

Hydrate formation rate and separation effect on the capture of CO2 from binary mixture via forming hydrate with 5 wt% tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide （TBAB） solution were studied. The results showed that the induction time was 5 min, and the hydrate formation process finished in 1 h at 4.5 ℃ and 4.01 MPa. The hydrate formation rate constant reached the maximum of 1.84× 10^-7 molZ/（s.J） with the feed pressure of 7.30 MPa. The CO2 recovery was about 45 % in the feed pressure range from 4.30 to 7.30 MPa. Under the feed pressure of 4.30 MPa, the maximum separation factor and CO2 concentration in hydrate phase were 7.3 and 38.2 mol%, respectively. The results demonstrated that TBAB accelerated hydrate formation and enriched CO2 in hydrate phase under the gentle condition.

Time-sliced Velocity Map Imaging Study on Photodissociation of Neopentyl Bromide and Tert-pentyl Bromide at 234 nm

We present a first velocity map imaging study on the 234 nm photodissociation dynamics of two carbon-chain branched alkyl bromides, neopentyl bromide （denoted as NPB） and tert- pentyl bromide （denoted as TPB）. Unlike the 234 nm photodissociation of the unbranched n-C5H11Br molecule where only a direct fission of the C-Br bond is involved, the branched NPB and TPB molecules exhibit one and two more independent dissociation pathways with much energy being decayed via an extensive excitation of the bending modes of the parent molecules prior to the C-Br bond fission. This observation strongly suggests that the dissociation coordinate for the two carbon-chain branched molecules is no longer solely ascribed to the C-Br stretching mode but rather a combination of the bending-stretching modes.

Sol-gel Transition of Methylcellulose Solution in the Coexistence of Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide and Sodium Chloride

The sol-gel transition of methylcellulose （MC） solution in the presence of NaCl and hexade- cyltrimethylammonium bromide （HTAB）, together with MC/NaCl solution in the presence of HTAB and MC/HATB solution in the presence of NaCl, was investigated by the rheological measurements. It has been found that the sol-gel transition temperature of MC solution decreases linearly with the concentration of NaCl in solution but increases linearly with the concentration of HTAB in solution, respectively. However, the sol-gel transition temperature of MC/NaCl solution in the presence of HTAB keeps the same value, independent of the concentration of HTAB in solution. On the other hand, the sol-gel transition temperature of MC/HTAB solution decreases linearly with the concentration of NaCl in solution. The experimental results suggest that, for MC/NaCl solution in the presence of HTAB, the salt- induced spherical micelles of HTAB should have formed in bulk solution. For MC solution in the absence of NaC1, no spherical micelles have been formed in bulk solution, though the concentration of HTAB in our experiment is almost one order of magnitude higher than the critical mieelle concentration of HTAB in polymer-free solution. In fact, due to adsorption of HTAB on MC chains, the realconcentration of HTAB in bulk solution, is much less than the apparent concentration of HTAB dissolved in MC solution.

Surface tension of lithium bromide aqueous solution/ammonia with additives and nano-particles

In order to investigate the effect of additives and nano-particle on the surface tensions of lithium bromide(Li Br) aqueous solution/ammonia, many experiments were carried out based on Wilhelmy plate method. Firstly, the surface tension of Li Br aqueous solution with 1-octanol was measured and then the comparison between the measured results and previous experimental results was given to verify the measuring accuracy. Some new additives, such as cationic surfactants cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride(CTAC), and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) were chosen in the experiments. The experimental results show that CTAC and CTAB can obviously reduce the surface tension of Li Br aqueous solution/ammonia. In addition, it is found that nano-particles cannot remarkably decrease the surface tension of Li Br aqueous solution/ammonia. However, the mixed addition of additives and nano-particles can remarkably affect the surface tension of Li Br aqueous solution/ammonia. That is to say, additives play more important role in reducing the surface tension of Li Br aqueous solution/ammonia. But nano-particles may enhance the heat transfer in the absorption refrigeration process.

Effect of Tiotropium Bromide on Expression of CD_8^+CD_(25)^+FoxP_3^+ Regulatory T Cells in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The expression of CD8＋CD25＋FoxP3＋ regulatory T cells（CD8＋Tregs） in the peripheral blood of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD）,and the effect of muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist tiotropium bromide on the expression of CD8＋Tregs were investigated.Twenty-three patients with moderate to severe stable COPD were enrolled in this study.All patients inhaled tiotropium bromide（18 μg daily） for 3 months.Before and after inhalation of tiotropium bromide,peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients,and T cells were labeled by three-color labeled monoclonal antibodies.Flow cytometry was used to detect the quantity and percentage of CD8＋T cells,CD8＋CD25＋T cells,CD8＋Tregs,CD4＋T cells,CD4＋CD25＋T cells and CD4＋CD25＋FoxP3＋ regulatory T cells（CD4＋Tregs） respectively.The percentage of CD4＋T cells was increased from（27.82±2.18）% to（35.53±1.3）%（t=3.20,P=0.004） in the peripheral blood of patients with stable COPD after inhalation of tiotropium bromide for 3 months,that of CD4＋CD25＋T cells was decreased from（10.03 ±1.42）% to（4.21 ±0.65）%（t=3.78,P=0.001）,and that of CD8＋Tregs was increased from（8.41 ±1.68）% to（21.34 ±4.20）%（t=2.72,P=0.013）.At baseline,CD8＋T cells,CD8＋CD25＋T cells and CD4＋Tregs were detectable in the peripheral blood,but no significant changes were observed after treatment.Linear correlation analysis revealed that the difference before and after treatment in CD4＋T cells and CD4＋CD25＋T cells was negatively correlated with the ratio of change in CD8＋Tregs before and after treatment（r=-0.61,P=0.013;r=-0.72,P=0.001 respectively）.In the peripheral blood of patients with stable COPD,there was the expression of CD8＋Tregs and CD4＋Tregs.Muscarinic receptor antagonist,tiotropium bromide,can promote the amplification of CD4＋T cells,inhibit the expression of CD25＋T cells,and enhance the expression of CD8＋Tregs.CD8＋Tregs and CD4＋Tregs can be used as new indicators to understand the immune status of patients.They are helpful in judging the treatment efficacy and disease immunophenotype.

Cytotoxicity effect assessment of acid purified carbon nanotubes modified with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide

The cytotoxicities of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） and acid purified single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNT-COOH） were investigated by spectroscopic analysis. Cell viability and cell apoptosis were applied to assessing the cytotoxicity of SWNT-COOH, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide （CTAB） and acid purified carbon nanotubes modified with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide （SWNT-COOH/CTAB）. The results indicate that SWNTs are more toxic than SWNT-COOH. Concentration and time-curve analyses indicate that cytotoxicity of SWNT-COOH/CTAB is more related to the toxicity of the surfactant CTAB. The cytotoxicity effect of CTAB and SWNT-COOH/CTAB is acceptable at low concentrations （0.5-25μg/mL）. The cytotoxicity observation suggests that SWNT-COOH/CTAB can safely applied to biomedical field at low concentrations （0.5-25μg/mL）.

Modeling phase equilibria of semiclathrate hydrates of CH_4,CO_2 and N_2 in aqueous solution of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide

Semiclathrate hydrates of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide （TBAB） offer potential solution for gas storage, transportation, separation of flue gases and CO2 sequestration. Models for phase equilibria for these systems have not yet been developed in open literatures and thus require urgent attention. In this work, the first attempt has been made to model phase equilibria of semiclathrate hydrates of CH4, CO2 and N2 in aqueous solution of TBAB. A thermodynamic model for gas hydrate system as proposed by Chen and Guo has been extended for semiclathrate hydrates of gases in aqueous solution of TBAB. A correlation for the activity of water relating to the system temperature, concentration of TBAB in the system and the nature of guest gas molecule has been proposed. The model results have been validated against available experimental data on phase equilibria of semiclathrate hydrate systems of aqueous TBAB with different gases as guest molecule. The extended Chen and Guo＇s model is found to be suitable to explain the promotion effect of TBAB for the studied gaseous system such as, methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen as a guest molecule. Additionally, a correlation for the increase in equilibrium formation temperature （hydrate promotion temperature, ATp） of semiclathrate hydrate system with respect to pure gas hydrate system has been developed and applied to semiclathrate hydrate of TBAB with several gases as guest molecules. The developed correlation is found to predict the promotion effect satisfactorily for the system studied.

Highly efficient solvent-free synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones using tetrabutylammonium bromide as novel ionic liquid catalyst

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2-arylquinazolin-4（3H）-ones has been developed through cyclocondensation of 2-aminobenzamide with aromatic aldehydes using tetrabutylammonium bromide（TBAB） as novel neutral ionic liquid catalyst in the presence of copper（Ⅱ） chloride（CuCl;） as oxidizing agent under solvent-free conditions at 100℃.In the absence of CuCl;and under a nitrogen atmosphere,the unoxidized intermediates,2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4（1H）-ones,were isolated. Treatment of these intermediates with CuCl;in TBAB media gave the oxidized products 2-arylquinazolin-4（3H）-ones.On the other hand,cyclocondensation of 2-aminobenzamide with aromatic aldehydes in TBAB under microwave irradiation directly gave 2- arylquinazolin-4（3H）-ones.
