This work describes a simple process to improve the stability of small molecule organic photovoltaics (OPVs) that use poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as the hole transport layer (HTL), without reducing the power conversion efficiency (PCE). We investigated the effect of self-assembl…

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are a class of non-toxic, non-volatile, biocompatible, and widely available polymers. In this work, we synthesized N-ethyl-N-(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-2-aminoethanol (EE3AE) that combines the properties of PEG and amines, and N-decyl-N-ethyl-2-aminoethanol (DEAE). Their performan…

How to improve the conversion efficiency and the stability of dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are two major problems. Furthermore, reduction of the manufacturing cost of DSSCs and large‐scale manufacture are also very important factors. As a raw material, commercial P25 would be used for large‐scale manufacture of…

We demonstrate new fluorophore-labelled materials based on acrylamide and on oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) bearing thermoresponsive polymers for sensing purposes and investigate their thermally induced solubility transitions. It is found that the emission properties of the polarity-sensitive (solvatochromic) naphthalim…

This paper is about almost reducibility of quasi-periodic cocycles with a diophantine frequency which are sufficiently close to a constant. Generalizing previous works by L.H.Eliasson, we show a strong version of almost reducibility for analytic and Gevrey cocycles, that is to say, almost reducibility where the change…

This paper reports the preparation of unique composite gels demonstrating both optical activity and magnetic responsivity (the gels are denoted as OAMGs). The composite gels consist of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and helical substituted polyacetylene with a predominantly one-handed screw sense. The former…

This study was designed to investigate the biological effects of fish collagen peptide (FCP) on human osteoblasts. Human osteoblasts were treated with 0.1% FCP, which was the optimal concentration confirmed by the increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. After one, three, five and seven days of culture, the number o…

New gels based on N-isopropylacrylamide and cysteine were prepared by free radical polymerization in aqueous solutions. To attach the amino acid to the polymer chain, its α-amino group was modified with acryloyl chloride and N,N′-bisacryloylcystine was obtained. Next, the disulfide bridges were reduced to thiol groups…

Clusters of spherical particles with isotropic attraction favour compact structures that maximise the number of energetically optimal nearest-neighbour interactions. In contrast, dipolar interactions lead to the formation of chains with a low coordination number. When both isotropic and dipolar interactions are presen…

An Al0.5TiZrPdCuNi high-entropy (H-E) alloy with a bcc single phase was found through a Ti20Zr20Pd20Cu20Ni20 H-E glassy alloy designed based on equi-atomicity inherent to H-E alloys. The constituent elements and the composition of the Ti20Zr20Pd20Cu20Ni20 alloy were determined by regarding a binary Cu64Zr36 bulk metal…

The dehydrogenation of γ-terpinene was studied under catalyst- and solvent-free reaction conditions using air as an oxidant. The dehydrogenation affords p-cymene in good yields in a continuous flow reaction setup. The initial optimization of the reaction parameters showed that the dehydrogenation is highly dependent o…

Here, we present an unusual approach of modifying the growth pattern of electroactive bacteria for improving their communication with electrodes. Cells of a known exoelectrogen, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, were treated with cisplatin, a drug that inhibits cell division but forces the cells to grow longer resulting in…

Spinel LiMn2−xNixO4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) nanoparticles were prepared through a simple one-step polymer-assisted chemical solution method. When x = 0.1, the cathode exhibited the best durable rate capability, with 100% of the capacity retained (∼100 mAh g−1) after 400 cycles at 10 C current rate. The excellent cyclability…
