Square‐Centimeter‐Sized High‐Efficiency Polymer Solar Cells: How the Processing Atmosphere and Film Quality Influence Performance at Large Scale

Organic solar cells based on two benzodithiophene‐based polymers (PTB7 and PTB7‐Th) processed at square centimeter‐size under inert atmosphere and ambient air, respectively, are investigated. It is demonstrated that the performance of solar cells processed under inert atmosphere is not limited by the upscaling of photoactive layer and the interfacial layers. Thorough morphological and electrical characterizations of optimized layers and corresponding devices reveal that performance losses due to area enlargement are only caused by the sheet resistance of the transparent electrode reducing the efficiency from 9.3% of 7.8% for PTB7‐Th in the condition that both photoactive layer and the interfacial layers are of high layer quality. Air processing of photoactive layer and the interfacial layers into centimeter‐sized solar cells lead to additional, but only slight, losses (<10%) in all photovoltaic parameters, which can be addressed to changes in the electronic properties of both active layer and ZnO layers rather than changes in layer morphology. The demonstrated compatibility of polymer solar cells using solution‐processed photoactive layer and interfacial layers with large area indicates that the introduction of a standard active area of 1 cm² for measuring efficiency of organic record solar cells is feasible. However electric standards for indium tin oxides (ITO) or alternative transparent electrodes need to be developed so that performance of new photovoltaic materials can be compared at square centimeter‐size.     

质粒pRSET-A前导肽串联多聚体的构建及其多克隆抗体制备*

质粒pRSET-A是一个常用的高效原核表达载体,编码一N端含组氨酸标签（6×His）的34aa前导肽序列,以方便利用抗组氨酸标签抗体鉴定或纯化所表达的重组蛋白。本实验设计一对两侧含编码疏水性氨基酸密码子的引物,经过扩增前导序列10~34aa基因序列,并重新克隆入质粒pRSET-A构建串联二聚体后,再利用质粒pRSET-A的BamH I / Bgl II同尾酶克隆位点,经一系列简单的酶切和连接,快速构建这一前导肽中不含组氨酸标签序列的串联多聚体基因,并成功表达其六聚体重组蛋白。将此重组蛋白主动免疫山羊,获得了能够特异地识别pRSET-A编码的N端前导肽序列的抗体。结果显示,所制备的羊抗10~34aa前导肽抗体能够识别pRSET-A指导表达的含有完整前导肽的重组蛋白,但不能识别不含10~34aa序列的重组蛋白;同时,利用同位酶技术可以快速高效构建短肽的串联多聚体以制备具有高免疫原性的亚单位疫苗或免疫调控物质。     

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence of ruthenium complex immobilized in a highly cross‐linked polymer and its analytical applications

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of a ruthenium complex polymer modified carbon paste electrode and its analytical applications were investigated. The ruthenium complex polymer was prepared using bis(2,2‐bipyridine) (4,4‐dicarboxy‐2,2‐bipyridine) ruthenium(II). The ECL behaviours of ruthenium complex polymer modified carbon paste electrode were investigated in the absence and presence of tripropylamine (TPA). The modified carbon paste electrode exhibited long‐term stability and fine reproducibility. The ECL intensity of the modified carbon paste electrode was linear with the concentration of TPA in the range 2.0 × 10^–6–3.8 × 10^–3 mol/L, with a detection limit (S:N = 3) of 6 × 10^–7 mol/L. It was also found that raceanisodamine could enhance the ECL intensity of the modified electrode. The ECL intensity of the modified carbon paste electrode was linear with the concentration of raceanisodamine in the range 1.1 × 10^–5–6.0 × 10^–4 mol/L, with a detection limit (S:N = 3) of 6 × 10^–6 mol/L. This work demonstrates that the entrapment of ruthenium complex in a highly cross‐linked polymer is a promising approach to construct an ECL modified electrode with long‐term stability and fine reproducibility. The modified electrode designed has a potential application in the ECL detector. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Benzoylcellulose derivatives as chiral stationary phases for open tubular column chromatography

The application of cellulose-based stationary phases for chiral separations has been extended to open tubular column chromatography. Efficient columns were obtained by coating the capillaries with mixtures of chiral cellulose materials and conventional achiral stationary phases for gas chromatography. In this study, various siloxane and polyethylene glycol polymers were used as achiral components and mixed with different substituted benzoylcellulose derivatives as chiral components. Systematic investigations were carried out to determine the optimal ratio for the components of the stationary phase. Depending on the chromatographic mode—gas chromatography (GC) or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC)—the stationary phases were found to behave differently. The applicability of the technique was demonstrated by the resolution of various racemic compounds. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Application of cross-linked beta-cyclodextrin polymer for adsorption of aromatic amino acids

Beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD) was cross-linked by hexamethylene diisocyanate and the polymer was investigated for adsorption of aromatic amino acids (AAA) from phosphate buffer. High adsorption rates were observed at the beginning and the adsorption equilibrium was then gradually achieved in about 45 min. The adsorption of AAA decreased with the increase of initial concentration and also temperature. Under the same conditions, the adsorption efficiencies of AAA were in the order of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) > L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) > L-tyrosine (L-Tyr). Much higher adsorption values, up to 52.4 and 43.0 mg/g for L-Trp and L-Phe, respectively, at 50 mmol/L and 3.2 mg/g for L-Tyr at 2 mmol/L, were obtained with the beta-CyD polymer at 37 degrees C. It was shown that the adsorption of AAA on the beta-CyD polymer was consistent with the Freundlich isotherm equation. The adsorption of mixed aromatic amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) showed that AAA were preferentially adsorbed with adsorption efficiencies 10-24%, while those of BCAA were lower than 2%. It seems that the structure and hydrophobicity of amino acid molecules are responsible for the difference in adsorption, by influencing the strength of interactions between amino acid molecule and the polymer.     

Inter‐Fullerene Electronic Coupling Controls the Efficiency of Photoinduced Charge Generation in Organic Bulk Heterojunctions

Photoinduced charge generation (PCG) dynamics are notoriously difficult to correlate with specific molecular properties in device relevant polymer:fullerene organic photovoltaic blend films due to the highly complex nature of the solid state blend morphology. Here, this study uses six judiciously selected trifluoromethylfullerenes blended with the prototypical polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene) and measure the PCG dynamics in 50 fs–500 ns time scales with time‐resolved microwave conductivity and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The isomeric purity and thorough chemical characterization of the fullerenes used in this study allow for a detailed correlation between molecular properties, driving force, local intermolecular electronic coupling and, ultimately, the efficiency of PCG yield. The findings show that the molecular design of the fullerene not only determines inter‐fullerene electronic coupling, but also influences the decay dynamics of free holes in the donor phase even when the polymer microstructure remains unchanged.     

Topological diversity in copper aromatic meta-dicarboxylate coordination polymers with bis(pyridylformyl)piperazine coligands

Hydrothermal synthesis has afforded divalent copper coordination polymers containing bis(4-pyridylformyl)piperazine (4-bpfp) tethers and aromatic meta-dicarboxylate ligands. {[Cu(ip)(4-bpfp)]·2H₂O}_n (1, ip = isophthalate) possesses a (4, 4) rectangular grid structure with an unusual ABCD stacking pattern along a 4₁ screw axis. Sterically bulky substituents in the 5-position of the isophthalate ligands reduced the coordination polymer dimensionality, with [Cu₂(tBuip)₂(4-bpfp)(H₂O)₂]_n (2, tBuip = 5-tert-butylisophthalate) and {[Cu(MeOip)(HMeOip)₂(4-bpfp)]·3H₂O}_n (3, MeOip = 5-methoxyisophthalate) displaying 1D polymeric ladder and chain motifs, respectively. Compound 3 possesses a rare twofold interpenetrated binodal supramolecular hms net with (6³)(6⁹8) topology. Longer meta-disposed acetate pendant arms induced a doubly interpenetrated 3D primitive cubic topology in {[Cu₂(1,3-phda)₂(H₂O)₂(4-bpfp)]}_n (4, 1,3-phda = 1,3-phenylenediacetate), which possesses antiferromagnetically coupled {Cu₂O₂} kernels (J = −6.14(8) cm⁻¹).     

Piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) microstructure and poling state in active tissue engineering

Tissue engineering strategies rely on suitable membranes and scaffolds, providing the necessary physicochemical stimuli to specific cells. This review summarizes the main results on piezoelectric polymers, in particular poly(vinylidene fluoride), for muscle and bone cell culture. Further, the relevance of polymer microstructure and surface charge on cell response is demonstrated. Together with the necessary biochemical cues, the proper design of piezoelectric polymers can open the way to novel and more reliable tissue engineering strategies for cells in which electromechanical stimuli are present in their environment.     

Synergistic Impact of Solvent and Polymer Additives on the Film Formation of Small Molecule Blend Films for Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

The addition of polystyrene (PS), a typical insulator, is empirically shown to increase the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of a solution‐deposited bulk heterojunction (BHJ) molecular blend film used in solar cell fabrication: p‐DTS(FBTTh₂)₂/PC₇₁BM. The performance is further improved by small quantities of diiodooctane (DIO), an established solvent additive. In this study, how the addition of PS and DIO affects the film formation of this bulk heterojunction blend film are probed via in situ monitoring of absorbance, thickness, and crystallinity. PS and DIO additives are shown to promote donor crystallite formation on different time scales and through different mechanisms. PS‐containing films retain chlorobenzene solvent, extending evaporation time and promoting phase separation earlier in the casting process. This extended time is insufficient to attain the morphology for optimal PCE results before the film sets. Here is where the presence of DIO comes into play: its low vapor pressure further extends the time scale of film evolution and allows for crystalline rearrangement of the donor phase long after casting, ultimately leading to the best BHJ organization.
