The structure and stability of two-dimensional hydrogen hydrate were investigated in this work using density functional theory. The results are in line with expectations that the occupied cages are more stable after their confinement between two parallel hydrophobic sheets. The four two-dimensional hydrogen hydrate crystals - BLHH-I, BLHH-II, BLHH-III and BLHH-IV - that we predicted were much more stable in a restricted environment than in a free environment, even close to or exceeding conventional hydrogen hydrates. Besides, we found that the stability of two-dimensional hydrates is inversely related to the increase in temperature. Our work highlights that two-dimensional hydrates provide a new research idea in the field of hydrogen storage.Whether reagents and samples need to be combined to achieve a desired reaction, or precise concentrations of solutions need to be mixed and delivered downstream, thorough mixing remains a critical step in many microfluidics-based biological and chemical assays and analyses. To achieve complete mixing of fluids in microfluidic devices, researchers have utilized novel channel designs or active intervention to facilitate mass transport and exchange of fluids. However, many of these solutions have a major limitation their design inherently limits their operational throughput; that is, different designs work at specific flow rates, whether that be low or high ranges, but have difficulties outside of their tailored design regimes. In this work, we present an acoustofluidic mixer that is capable of achieving efficient, thorough mixing across a broad range of flow rates (20-2000 μL min-1) using a single device. Our mixer combines active acoustofluidic mixing, which is responsible for mixing fluids at lower flow rates, with passive hydrodynamic mixing, which accounts for mixing fluids at higher flow rates. The mechanism, functionality, and performance of our acoustofluidic device are both numerically and experimentally validated. Additionally, the real-world potential of our device is demonstrated by synthesizing polymeric nanoparticles with comparable sizes over a two-order-of-magnitude wide range of flow rates. This device can be valuable in many biochemical, biological, and biomedical applications. For example, using our platform, one may synthesize nanoparticles/nanomaterials at lower flow rates to first identify optimal synthesis conditions without having to waste significant amounts of reagents, and then increase the flow rate to perform high-throughput synthesis using the optimal conditions, all using the same single device and maintaining performance.Covering July 2010 to August 2019. Previous review Nat. Prod. Rep., 2011, 28, 594The review covers recent progress on the isolation, identification, bioactivity and biomimetic synthesis of natural dimeric sesquiterpenoids, along with a detailed discussion of the biogenesis of these metabolites. Structural revisions are included.Concerning the study of flexible piezoelectric devices, both scholars and engineers propose that poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) shows more merits than oriented polyvinylidene fluoride (OPVDF) in terms of dielectric, piezoelectric, mechanic-electric, acoustic emission reception performances, etc. Thus, in this study, to clarify the differences between the two types of polymers on their ferroelectric and piezoelectric behaviors, we systematically investigated samples to analyze their molecular structures and phase structures, and to compare their dielectric properties and acoustic emission reception performances. It was found that the wedge effect of TrFE, P(VDF-TrFE), possesses higher regular β phase crystal grains, which are easier to order along the electric field and possess more ordered static charge distribution than that of OPVDF. Consequently, a considerable saturated electric polarization (Pm ∼ 15 μC cm-2 under 225 MV m-1), a large piezoelectric coefficient (d33 ∼ -21.5 pC N-1) and a low coercive electric field (Ec ∼ 50 MV m-1) were obtained in the P(VDF-TrFE) films. It is worth noting that P(VDF-TrFE) shows a more stable d33 piezoelectric response (up to 120 °C) than that of the OPVDF.

These combined properties demonstrate that P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric films are a promising material for flexible and easily shaped electronic devices, including hydroacoustic sensors, actuators, and energy transfer units.We employed molecular-dynamics simulations with interatomic pair-potentials to examine oxygen-vacancy diffusion in the cubic phase of perovskite BaTiO3 as a function of temperature. By comparing the absolute rate of vacancy diffusion as well as its temperature dependence with experimental data, we are able to narrow down the activation enthalpy of migration to 0.70-0.76 eV.Time-evolutions of excited state hydrogen transfer (ESHT) in phenol (PhOH)-(NH3)2 clusters have been measured by three-color picosecond (ps) ultraviolet (UV)-near infrared (NIR)-UV pump-probe ion dip spectroscopy. The formation of a reaction product, ˙NH4NH3, is detected by its NIR absorption due to a 3p-3s Rydberg transition. The ESHT reactions from all of the vibronic levels show biexponential time-evolutions, even from the S1 origin. Based on the biexponential time-evolution, it is suggested that there is a second reaction path via the triplet πσ* state, which gives the slow component. The fast time-evolution of the ESHT reaction from the S1 origin is measured to be 268 ps, which is 10-times slower than that in PhOH-(NH3)3, and a higher barrier between the ππ* and reactive πσ* states is suggested. The size dependence of the ESHT reaction rates is discussed based on a potential distortion due to the proton transferred state in the ππ* potential surface.Excitonic states of a many-electron system in phosphorene quantum dots (PQDs) are investigated theoretically by using a configuration interaction approach. For a triangular PQD in various dielectric environments, its exciton is found to obey two distinct scaling rules. When there is a strong screening effect present in the nanodot, the exciton binding energy (Δex) is shown to be around -150 meV as the long-range Coulomb interactions are totally suppressed and it increases to about 100 meV when the effective dielectric constant (εr) decreases to 12.5. Over this range of εr, Δex is found to be well fitted into a quadratic form of εr-1, which scales neither linearly with εr-2 like the case of bulk three-dimensional semiconductors nor linearly with εr-1 like the case previously reported for graphene nanostructures. When εr is reduced below 10.0, however, Δex is shown to exhibit a perfect linear relationship with εr-1, which behaves just like that of a two-dimensional graphene sheet. On the other hand, with the reduced εr, the quasiparticle gap is found to decrease instead of increasing like in most of the semiconductor nanostructures.
