We use the continuous time random walk model （CTRW） to investigate the time-averaged mean square dis- placement （MSD） of a 3D single particle trajectory. Theoretical results show that the ensemble average of the time-averaged MSD can be expressed analytically by a Mittag-Leffler function. Our new expression is in agreement with previous formu- las in two limiting cases： （^-δ2） ~ △1 in short lag time and （^-δ2} ~ △1 -α in long lag time. We also simulate the experimental data of mRNA diffusion in living E. coli using a 3D CTRW model under confined and crowded conditions. The simulation results are well consistent with experimental results. The calculations of power spectral density （PSD） further indicate the subdiffsive behavior of an individual trajectory.展开更多

文摘Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy(FLIM)has been rapidly developed over the past 30 years and widely applied in biomedical engineering.Recent progress in fluorophore-dyed probe design has widened the application prospects of fluorescence.Because fluorescence lifetime is sensitive to microenvironments and molecule alterations,FLIM is promising for the detection of pathological conditions.Current cancer-related FLIM applications can be divided into three main categories:(i)FLIM with autofluorescence molecules in or out of a cell,especially with reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,and flavin adenine dinucleotide for cellular metabolism research;(ii)FLIM with Förster resonance energy transfer for monitoring protein interactions;and(iii)FLIM with fluorophore-dyed probes for specific aberration detection.Advancements in nanomaterial production and efficient calculation systems,as well as novel cancer biomarker discoveries,have promoted FLIM optimization,offering more opportunities for medical research and applications to cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring.This review summarizes cutting-edge researches from 2015 to 2020 on cancer-related FLIM applications and the potential of FLIM for future cancer diagnosis methods and anti-cancer therapy development.We also highlight current challenges and provide perspectives for further investigation.

文摘Interface engineering is widely employed to enhance the performance of formamidinium lead triiodide(FAPbI_(3))perovskite solar cells.In this study,six different FAPbI_(3)/PbX(X=S,Se and Te)heterostructures are constructed,including the PbI interface and I interface perovskite.In addition,the lead vacancies(V-Pb)and iodine vacancies(V-I)are designed at the perovskite interface.The results show that the PbI interface is more stable than I interface in the heterostructures.The PbX covering layer on the surface of the FAPbI_(3) perovskite stabilizes the perovskite octahedral structure by interface interactions and charge reconstruction that are beneficial to passivate perovskite interface defects and inhibit the phase transition.It shows that the PbTe covering layer exhibits the best passivation effect for lead vacancy defects,while PbS covering layer shows the best passivation effect for iodine vacancy defects.Additionally,appropriate structural stress can strengthen the thermal stability of defective perovskite.This work reveals the FAPbI_(3)/PbX interface engineering,and offers new insights into effectively passivating defects and improving the stability of FAPbI_(3).

文摘The thin film properties of organic semiconductors are very important to the device performance.Herein,non-planar vanadyl phthalocyanine(VOPc)thin films grown on rigid substrates of indium tin oxide,silicon dioxide,and flexible substrate of kapton by organic molecular beam deposition under vacuum conditions are systematically studied via atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction.The results clearly reveal that the morphology and grain size are strongly dependent on the substrate temperature during the process of film deposition.Meanwhile,the VOPc films with the structure of phase I or phase II can be modulated via in situ annealing and post-annealing temperature.Furthermore,the crystalline structure and molecular orientation of vapor-deposited VOPc can be controlled using molecular template layer 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride(PTCDA),the VOPc film of which exhibits the phase I structure.The deep understanding of growth mechanism of non-planar VOPc film provides valuable information for controlling structure-property relationship and accelerates the application in electronic and optoelectronic devices.

文摘The thermoelectric properties of layered Mo_(2)AB_(2)(A=S,Se,Te;B=Cl,Br,I)materials are systematically investigated by first-principles approach.Soft transverse acoustic modes and direct Mo d–Mo d couplings give rise to strong anharmonicities and low lattice thermal conductivities.The double anions with distinctly different electronegativities of Mo_(2)AB_(2)monolayers can reduce the correlation between electron transport and phonon scattering,and further benefit much to their good thermoelectric properties.Thermoelectric properties of these Mo_(2)AB_(2)monolayers exhibit obvious anisotropies due to the direction-dependent chemical bondings and transport properties.Furthermore,their thermoelectric properties strongly depend on carrier type(n-type or p-type),carrier concentration and temperature.It is found that n-type Mo_(2)AB_(2)monolayers can be excellent thermoelectric materials with high electric conductivity,σ,and figures of merit,ZT.Choosing the types of A and B anions of Mo_(2)AB_(2)is an effective strategy to optimize their thermoelectric performance.These results provide rigorous understanding on thermoelectric properties of double-anions compounds and important guidance for achieving high thermoelectric performance in multi-anion compounds.

文摘Three-dimensional （3D） Fick＇s diffusion equation and fractional diffusion equation are solved for different reflecting boundaries. We use the continuous time random walk model （CTRW） to investigate the time-averaged mean square dis- placement （MSD） of a 3D single particle trajectory. Theoretical results show that the ensemble average of the time-averaged MSD can be expressed analytically by a Mittag-Leffler function. Our new expression is in agreement with previous formu- las in two limiting cases： （^-δ2） ~ △1 in short lag time and （^-δ2} ~ △1 -α in long lag time. We also simulate the experimental data of mRNA diffusion in living E. coli using a 3D CTRW model under confined and crowded conditions. The simulation results are well consistent with experimental results. The calculations of power spectral density （PSD） further indicate the subdiffsive behavior of an individual trajectory.

文摘Stacking-dependent magnetism in van der Waals materials has caught intense interests.Based on the first principle calculations,we investigate the coupling between stacking orders and interlayer magnetic orders in bilayer H-VSe 2.It is found that there are two stable stacking orders in bilayer H-VSe 2,named AB-stacking and A′B-stacking.Under standard DFT framework,the A′B-stacking prefers the interlayer AFM order and is semiconductive,whereas the AB-stacking prefers the FM order and is metallic.However,under the DFT+U framework both the stacking orders prefer the interlayer AFM order and are semiconductive.By detailedly analyzing this difference,we find that the interlayer magnetism originates from the competition between antiferromagnetic interlayer super-superexchange and ferromagnetic interlayer double exchange,in which both the interlayer Se-4 p z orbitals play a crucial role.In the DFT+U calculations,the double exchange is suppressed due to the opened bandgap,such that the interlayer magnetic orders are decoupled with the stacking orders.Based on this competition mechanism,we propose that a moderate hole doping can significantly enhance the interlayer double exchange,and can be used to switch the interlayer magnetic orders in bilayer VSe 2.This method is also applicable to a wide range of semiconductive van der Waals magnets.

文摘The development of high-performance non-fullerene acceptors with extended exciton diffusion lengths has positioned the sequential layer-by-layer(LBL)solution processing technique as a promising approach for fabricating high-performance and large-area organic solar cells(OSCs).This method allows for the independent dissolution and deposition of donor and acceptor materials,enabling precise morphology control.In this review,we provide a comprehensive overview of the LBL processing technique,focusing on the morphology of the active layer.The swelling intercalation phase-separation(SIPS)model is introduced as the mainstream theory of morphology evolution,with a detailed discussion on vertical phase separation.We summarize recent strategies for morphology optimization.Additionally,we review the progress in LBL-based large-area device and module fabrication,as well as green processing approaches.Finally,we highlight current challenges and future prospects,paving the way for the commercialization of LBL-processed OSCs.

文摘Constructing tandem solar cells(TSCs)is a strategy to enhance the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of single-junction photovoltaic technologies.Herein,efficient four-terminal(4 T)perovskite-organic TSCs are developed via precise control over the crystallization with co-anti-solvents in wide-bandgap perovskite(FA_(0.8) Cs_(0.2) Pb(I_(0.6) Br_(0.4))_(3),energy gap:1.77 eV)film.High-quality perovskite films can be achieved by employing a sophisticated co-anti-solvent technique,which effectively enhances the perovskite crystallinity with large grain size and suppresses the nonradiative recombination with pinhole-free surfaces.The results demonstrate that co-anti-solvents with a low boiling point polarity and nonpolar solvent contribute to superior performance of devices.The wide bandgap semi-transparent perovskite solar cell(ST-PSC)fabricated using co-anti-solvent exhibited a remarkable efficiency of 14.52%,and we successfully obtained an efficiency of 22.5%for 4 T perovskite-organic TSC.These findings inspire bright futures that TSCs could facilitate the development of more effective and sustainable solar energy solutions.

文摘Highly efficient organic solar cells(OSCs)are normally produced using the halogenated solvents chloroform or chlorobenzene,which present challenges for scalable manufacturing due to their toxicity,narrow processing window and low boiling point.Herein,we develop a novel high-speed doctor-blading technique that significantly reduces the required concentration,facilitating the use of eco-friendly,non-halogenated solvents as alternatives to chloroform or chlorobenzene.By utilizing two widely used high-boiling,non-halogenated green solvents-o-xylene(o-XY)and toluene(Tol)-in the fabrication of PM 6:L 8-BO,we achieve power conversion efficiencies(PCEs)of 18.20%and 17.36%,respectively.Additionally,a module fabricated with o-XY demonstrates a notable PCE of 16.07%.In-situ testing and morphological analysis reveal that the o-XY coating process extends the liquid-to-solid transition stage to 6 s,significantly longer than the 1.7 s observed with Tol processing.This prolonged transition phase is crucial for improving the crystallinity of the thin film,reducing defect-mediated recombination,and enhancing carrier mobility,which collectively contribute to superior PCEs.

文摘One of the primary barriers to the advancement of high-efficiency energy conversion technologies is the Shockley–Queisser limit,which imposes a fundamental efficiency constraint on single-junction solar cells.The advent of multi-junction solar cells provides a formidable alternative to this obstacle.Among these,organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have captured substantial interest due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties,including tunable bandgaps and high-power conversion efficiencies,positioning them as prime candidates for multi-junction photovoltaic systems.We give a review of the latest advancements in four-terminal(4T)perovskite tandem solar cells(TSCs),emphasizing four pertinent configurations:perovskite-silicon(PVK/Si),per-ovskite-perovskite(PVK/PVK),perovskite-Cu(In,Ga)Se_(2)(PVK/CIGS),and perovskite-organic(PVK/organic),as well as other emerging 4T perovskite TSCs.Further,it also emphasizes the advancement of semitransparent wide-bandgap PSCs for TSC applications,tackling important issues and outlining potential future directions for optimizing 4T tandem design performance.

文摘Layer-by-layer (LbL) strategy has been developed to form bulk heterojunction (BHJ) structure for processing efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, LbL slot-die coating with twin boiling point solvents (TBPS) strategy was developed to fabricate highly efficient OSCs, which matches with large-scale, high throughput roll-to-roll (R2R) industrialized mass process. The TBPS strategy could produce high-quality thin film without any additive, leading to the optimized vertical phase separation with interpenetrating nanostructures, as well as the enhanced charge transport and extraction. Thus, the power conversion efficiency up to 14.42% was achieved for [(2,6-(4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl-3-fluoro)thiophen-2-yl)-benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene))-alt-(5,5-(1′,3′-di-2-thienyl-5′,7′-bis(2-ethylhexyl)benzo[1′,2′-c:4′,5′-c′]dithiophene-4,8-dione)]:2,2′-((2Z,2′Z)-((12,13-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-e]thieno[2″,3″:4″,5″]thieno[2′,3′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-g]thieno[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]indole-2,10-diyl)bis(methanylylidene)) bis(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile (PM6:Y6) OSCs fabricated via sequentially LbL slot-die coating using the TBPS strategy under ambient condition. The research provides a potential route for industrialized production of high-efficiency and large-area OSC devices.
