Carbon-based perovskite solar cells without a hole transport layer (HTL) are considered to be highly stable and of low cost. However, the deficient interface contact and inferior hole extraction capability restrict the further improvement of the device efficiency. Introducing a hole transporting layer, such as cuprous thiocyanate (CuSCN), can enhance the hole extraction ability and improve the interface contact. However, our further studies indicated that-at a certain temperature-for carbon-based solar cells, in the CuSCN layer, the diffusion of SCN- into the perovskite film would produce more interfacial defects and aggravate nonradiative recombination, thus hindering the carrier transport. We further disclosed the reasons for performance attenuation during the thermal treatment of carbon electrodes, proposed a vacuum-assisted drying process for carbon electrodes to suppress the destructive effect, and finally, achieved an enhanced efficiency for perovskite solar cells with a CuSCN inorganic HTL and screen-printable carbon electrode. Also, the unencapsulated perovskite solar cell demonstrated over 80% efficiency retention after being stored in an ambient atmosphere (45-70% relative humidity (RH)) for over 1000 h and maintained over 85% efficiency retention for 309 h of 1-sun irradiation under a continuous nitrogen flow under open-circuit conditions.62 chlorinated polyfluorooctane ether sulfonate (62 Cl-PFESA) was previously shown to undergo limited dechlorination in rainbow trout to yield 62 hydrogen-substituted polyfluorooctane ether sulfonate (62 H-PFESA) as the sole metabolite. However, the biotransformation susceptibility of 62 Cl-PFESA has not been investigated in mammals and the biological behavior of 62 H-PFESA has not been defined in any species. We investigated the respective transformation products of 62 Cl-PFESA and 62 H-PFESA and their toxicokinetic properties in male Sprague-Dawley rats as a mammalian model. 62 H-PFESA was the sole detectable metabolite of 62 Cl-PFESA, with a transformation percentage of 13.6% in rat liver, but it resisted further degradation. 62 Cl-PFESA also transformed to 62 H-PFESA in reductive rat liver S9 incubations but remained stable under oxidative conditions, suggesting a reductive enzyme-dependent transformation pathway. 62 Cl-PFESA was more enriched in lipid-rich tissues, while 62 H-PFESA was more prone to cumulative urinary excretion. From this perspective, it may suggest a detoxification mechanism for organisms to form the less hydrophobic 62 H-PFESA to alleviate total burdens. To date, 62 Cl-PFESA was the second perfluoroalkyl acid reported to undergo biotransformation in mammals. The toxicokinetic properties determined for 62 Cl-PFESA and 62 H-PFESA in blood and urine were found to be structure and dose dependent.Oxidopyridinium ions bearing an ester group at the 5-position undergo (4 + 3) cycloaddition reaction to afford congeners of 7-azabicyclo[4.3.1]decane. PLX8394 order The reaction generally proceeds in high yield, although an excess of diene is often required to achieve such yields. The reaction is highly regioselective, but not endo/exo selective. It appears the cycloaddition process can be either kinetically or thermodynamically controlled, depending on the nature of the diene used and the reaction time. An intramolecular Heck reaction was used to demonstrate that some chemistry is possible with the cycloadducts.The drying behavior of two different polymers [polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and polyisobutylene (PIB)] with different glass transition temperatures are investigated and compared as a function of film thickness from micrometer (∼3 μm) to nanometer scale (∼10 nm). The focus of this study is to distinguish between solvent diffusion, polymer relaxation, and substrate confinement of polymer chain mobility toward the interface as the dominating mechanism of drying kinetics. Relaxation kinetics becomes more dominant when the film thickness is reduced, which is shown experimentally for the first time for nanometer-scale film thicknesses. Identical drying curves regardless of the film thickness of PVP/methanol indicate the limitation of solvent transport by relaxation kinetics. The viscoelastic relaxation behavior of the polymer/solvent film is modeled by a Maxwell element. The results are in accordance with the experimental drying curves and allow for the determination of the characteristic relaxation time. Relaxation limitation becomes relevant at high diffusion Deborah numbers when the relaxation time-which is a function of the deployed material and the polymer/solvent composition-is higher than the characteristic diffusion time in the film. The latter is a function of the polymer/solvent composition and the thickness of the film. Drying curves of PIB/toluene films show additional effect in a substrate-near region of about 5 nm in which polymer chain mobility is confined, resulting in decelerated solvent diffusion. Although this effect near the substrate interface is expected to be present regardless of the film thickness, it becomes more dominant when the substrate-near region represents a significant fraction of the total film thickness. The key to the derived methodology for characterization of the polymer/solvent drying process is to vary dry film thickness from micrometers to a few nanometers which allows us to determine the dominating mechanism of drying kinetics.The Helmholtz free energy, energy, and entropy of mixing of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water are calculated in the entire composition range by means of Monte Carlo computer simulations and thermodynamic integration using all possible combinations of five DMF and three widely used water models. Our results reveal that the mixing of DMF and water is highly non-ideal. Thus, in their dilute solutions, both molecules induce structural ordering of the major component, as evidenced by the concomitant decrease in the entropy. Among the 15 model combinations considered, only 4 reproduce the well-known full miscibility of DMF and water, 3 of which strongly exaggerate the thermodynamic driving force of the miscibility. Thus, the combination of the CS2 model of DMF and the TIP4P/2005 water model reproduces the properties of the DMF-water mixtures far better than the other combinations tested. Our results also reveal that moving a fractional negative charge from the N atom to the O atom of the DMF molecule, leading to the increase in its dipole moment, improves the miscibility of the model with water.
