Organic photovoltaic cells using hexadecafluorophthalocyaninatocopper (F16CuPc) as electron acceptor material

We fabricated organic photovoltaic cells by using hexadecafluorophthalocyaninatocopper (F16CuPc) as electron acceptor material and para-sexiphenyl (p-6P) as electron donor material. F16CuPc has wide absorption spectrum from 550 nm to 850 nm, which covers the maximum of solar photo flux. The measurement of their external quantum efficiency (EQE) demonstrated that the photocurrent comes from the excitons created in F16CuPc, which were separated into free electrons and holes at heterojunction interface of p-6P and F16CuPc. Moreover, F(16)FuPc with excellent air-stability improved the environmental stability of photovoltaic cells, and the unencapsulated cells exhibited the shelf lifetime of exceeding a week.

Effects of molecular weight, solvent and substrate on the dewetting morphology of polystyrene films

Surface morphology of polystyrene (PS) films on different substrates by spin-coating before and after annealing was observed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The effects of polymer molecular weight, substrates, solvents, and annealing conditions on the morphology of the films were investigated. Before annealing, the grain height decreases, and simultaneously the grain diameter increases with molecular weight (M-w) within the measured molecular weight. After annealing. the situation is opposite, i.e., the grain height increases while the grain diameter decreases with M-w. Furthermore, after annealing the smaller surface roughness (Ra) was obtained. It was also found that film surface roughness (Ra) depends on the vapor pressure and dipole moment of different used solvents as well as the substrates. The experimental results show that when the used solvents have similar dipole moment but different vapor pressure, the Ra of PS film decreased with the decreasing vapor pressure of solvents whether on silicon or on mica. And when the used solvents have close vapor pressure but different dipole moment, the Ra decreased with the increasing of solvent dipole moments on both substrates.

Direct patterning of rhodamine 6G molecules on mica by dip-pen nanolithography

Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) has been developed to pattern monolayer film of various molecules on suitable substrate through the controlled movement of ink-coated atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip, which makes DPN a potentially powerful tool for making the functional nanoscale devices. In this paper, the direct patterning of rhodamine 6G on mica by dip-pen nanolithography was demonstrated. R6G features patterned on the mica was successfully achieved with different tip movement which can be programmed by Nanoscript(TM) language. From the AFM image of R6G patterns, we know that R6G molecule is flatly binding to the mica surface through electrostatic interaction, thus stable R6G nanostructures could be formed on mica. The influence of translation speed and contact time on DPN was discussed. The method can be extended to direct patterning of many other organic molecules, and should open many opportunities for miniaturized optical device and site-specific biological staining.

Determination of ranitidine in urine by capillary electrophoresis-electrochemiluminescent detection

The fast analysis of ranitidine is of clinical importance in understanding its efficiency and a patient's treatment history. In this paper, a novel determination method for ranitidine based on capillary electrophoresis-electrochemiluminescence detection is described. The conditions affecting separation and detection were investigated in detail. End-column detection of ranitidine in 5 mM Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) solution at applied voltage of 1.20 V was performed. Favorable ECL intensity with higher column efficiency was achieved by electrokinetic injection for 10 s at 10 kV. The R.S.D. values of ECL intensity and migration time were 6.38 and 1.84% for 10(-4) M and 6.01 and 0.60% for 10(-5) M, respectively. A detection limit of 7 x 10(-8) M (S/N = 3) was achieved. The proposed method was applied satisfactorily to the determination of ranitidine in urine in 6 min.

The structure and electrochemical characteristics of La0.67Mg0.33 (Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)(x) (x=2.5-5.0) multiphase alloys for nickel-metal hydride batteries

This paper presents results concerning structure and electrochemical characteristics of the La0.67Mg0.33 (Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1) (x) (x=2.5-5.0) alloy. It can be found from the result of the Rietveld analyses that the structures of the alloys change obviously with increasing x from 2.5 to 5.0. The main phase of the alloys with x=2.5-3.5 is LaMg2Ni9 phase with a PuNi3-type rhombohedral structure, but the main phase of the alloys with x=4.0-5.0 is LaNi(5)phase with a CaCu5-type hexagonal structure. Furthermore, the phase ratio, lattice parameter and cell volume of the LaMg2Ni9 phase and the LaNi5 phase change with increasing x. The electrochemical studies show that the maximum discharge capacity increases from 214.7 mAh/g (x=2.5) to 391.1 mAh/g (x=3.5) and then decreases to 238.5 mAh/g (x=5.0). As the discharge current density is 1,200 mA/g, the high rate dischargeability (HRD) increases from 51.1% (x=2.5) to 83.7% (x=3.5) and then decreases to 71.6% (x=5.0). Moreover, the exchange current density (I-0) of the alloy electrodes first increases and then decrease with increasing x from 2.5 to 5.0, which is consistent with the variation of the HRD. The cell volume reduces with increasing x in the alloys, which is detrimental to hydrogen diffusion and accordingly decreases the low-temperature dischargeability of the alloy electrodes.

The theory of chemical shift effect of substituent was applied to the assignment of the C-13 NMR spectra of the ethylene/propylene and ethylene/octene-1 copolymers. Using the parameters derived above and the DEFT technique, we then entirely assigned the C-13 NMR spectra of the ethylene/propylene/octene(-1) terpolymers synthesized in the presence of the same heterogeneous supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst, TiCl4/MgCl2/i-Bu3Al.
