  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Autophagy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1554-8635 .- 1554-8627. ; 8:4, s. 445-544

    • In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. A key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process vs. those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process); thus, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation needs to be differentiated from stimuli that result in increased autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In fact, in many cases, autophagosomes accumulate because of a block in trafficking to lysosomes without a concomitant change in autophagosome biogenesis, whereas an increase in autolysosomes may reflect a reduction in degradative activity. Here, we present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a formulaic set of rules, because the appropriate assays depend in part on the question being asked and the system being used. In addition, we emphasize that no individual assay is guaranteed to be the most appropriate one in every situation, and we strongly recommend the use of multiple assays to monitor autophagy. In these guidelines, we consider these various methods of assessing autophagy and what information can, or cannot, be obtained from them. Finally, by discussing the merits and limits of particular autophagy assays, we hope to encourage technical innovation in the field.

  • Highly stretchable organic electrochemical transistors with strain-resistant performance
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Nature Materials. - : NATURE PORTFOLIO. - 1476-1122 .- 1476-4660. ; 21, s. 564-571

    • Realizing fully stretchable electronic materials is central to advancing new types of mechanically agile and skin-integrable optoelectronic device technologies. Here we demonstrate a materials design concept combining an organic semiconductor film with a honeycomb porous structure with biaxially prestretched platform that enables high-performance organic electrochemical transistors with a charge transport stability over 30-140% tensional strain, limited only by metal contact fatigue. The prestretched honeycomb semiconductor channel of donor-acceptor polymer poly(2,5-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-3,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2,5-diketo-pyrrolopyrrole-alt-2,5-bis(3-triethyleneglycoloxy-thiophen-2-yl) exhibits high ion uptake and completely stable electrochemical and mechanical properties over 1,500 redox cycles with 10(4) stretching cycles under 30% strain. Invariant electrocardiogram recording cycles and synapse responses under varying strains, along with mechanical finite element analysis, underscore that the present stretchable organic electrochemical transistor design strategy is suitable for diverse applications requiring stable signal output under deformation with low power dissipation and mechanical robustness. Highly stretchable organic electrochemical transistors with stable charge transport under severe tensional strains are demonstrated using a honeycomb semiconducting polymer morphology, thereby enabling controllable signal output for diverse stretchable bioelectronic applications.

  • Emerging contaminants: A One Health perspective
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Innovation. - 2666-6758. ; 5
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Environmental pollution is escalating due to rapid global development that often prioritizes human needs over planetary health. Despite global efforts to mitigate legacy pollutants, the continuous introduction of new substances remains a major threat to both people and the planet. In response, global initiatives are focusing on risk assessment and regulation of emerging contaminants, as demonstrated by the ongoing efforts to establish the UN's Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste, and Pollution Prevention. This review identifies the sources and impacts of emerging contaminants on planetary health, emphasizing the importance of adopting a One Health approach. Strategies for monitoring and addressing these pollutants are discussed, underscoring the need for robust and socially equitable environmental policies at both regional and international levels. Urgent actions are needed to transition toward sustainable pollution management practices to safeguard our planet for future generations.

  • Flexible and Stretchable Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Physiological Sensing Devices
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Advanced Materials. - : WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH. - 0935-9648 .- 1521-4095. ; 35:35
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Flexible and stretchable bioelectronics provides a biocompatible interface between electronics and biological systems and has received tremendous attention for in situ monitoring of various biological systems. Considerable progress in organic electronics has made organic semiconductors, as well as other organic electronic materials, ideal candidates for developing wearable, implantable, and biocompatible electronic circuits due to their potential mechanical compliance and biocompatibility. Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), as an emerging class of organic electronic building blocks, exhibit significant advantages in biological sensing due to the ionic nature at the basis of the switching behavior, low driving voltage (<1 V), and high transconductance (in millisiemens range). During the past few years, significant progress in constructing flexible/stretchable OECTs (FSOECTs) for both biochemical and bioelectrical sensors has been reported. In this regard, to summarize major research accomplishments in this emerging field, this review first discusses structure and critical features of FSOECTs, including working principles, materials, and architectural engineering. Next, a wide spectrum of relevant physiological sensing applications, where FSOECTs are the key components, are summarized. Last, major challenges and opportunities for further advancing FSOECT physiological sensors are discussed.

  • Terahertz Reading of Ferroelectric Domain Wall Dielectric Switching
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 1944-8244 .- 1944-8252. ; 13:10, s. 12622-12628

    • Ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) are important nanoscale interfaces between two domains. It is widely accepted that ferroelectric domain walls work idly at terahertz (THz) frequencies, consequently discouraging efforts to engineer the domain walls to create new applications that utilize THz radiation. However, the present work clearly demonstrates the activity of domain walls at THz frequencies in a lead-free Aurivillius phase ferroelectric ceramic, Ca0.99Rb0.005Ce0.005Bi2Nb2O9, examined using THz-time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The dynamics of domain walls are different at kHz and THz frequencies. At low frequencies, domain walls work as a group to increase dielectric permittivity. At THz frequencies, the defective nature of domain walls serves to lower the overall dielectric permittivity. This is evidenced by higher dielectric permittivity in the THz band after poling, reflecting decreased domain wall density. An elastic vibrational model has also been used to verify that a single frustrated dipole in a domain wall represents a weaker contribution to the permittivity than its counterpart within a domain. The work represents a fundamental breakthrough in understanding the dielectric contributions of domain walls at THz frequencies. It also demonstrates that THz probing can be used to read domain wall dielectric switching.

  • Deep Distributional Temporal Difference Learning for Game Playing
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Intelligent Systems in Industrial Applications. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 1860-949X .- 1860-9503. - 9783030671471 ; 949, s. 192-206
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We compare classic scalar temporal difference learning with three new distributional algorithms for playing the game of 5-in-a-row using deep neural networks: distributional temporal difference learning with constant learning rate, and two distributional temporal difference algorithms with adaptive learning rate. All these algorithms are applicable to any two-player deterministic zero sum game and can probably be successfully generalized to other settings. All algorithms in our study performed well and developed strong strategies. The algorithms implementing the adaptive methods learned more quickly in the beginning, but in the long run, they were outperformed by the algorithms using constant learning rate which, without any prior knowledge, learned to play the game at a very high level after 200 000 games of self play.

  • Photo-stable substituted dihydroindolo[2,3-b]carbazole-based organic dyes : tuning the photovoltaic properties by optimizing the pi structure for panchromatic DSSCs
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Tetrahedron. - : Elsevier BV. - 0040-4020 .- 1464-5416. ; 70:43, s. 8122-8128
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Three dihydroindolo[2,3-b]carbazole (DDC) donor based organic dyes (DDC6-DDC8) with long conjugated systems were successfully synthesized and characterized by optical, electrochemical, computational analysis, and photovoltaic methods. It was found that the elongated pi system as well as the high molar extinction coefficients (4.2-5.3 M-1 cm(-1)) sufficiently reinforced the light harvesting ability with the IPCE response of one dye DDC8 extended to 850 nm, which resulted in large J(sc) of these dyes based devices (high as 16.41 mA cm(-2)). The attached alkyl chains suppress the dark current to some extent, resulting the DDC6 and DDC7 devices in high V-oc, while DDC8 displayed low V-oc, because BTD in DDC8 could attract the iodine ion, which could accelerate the charge recombination. Among the three dyes, DDC7 displayed the best performance with an eta value 6.53% under 4 mu m thick scattering layer (condition 1+1), which was boosted to 7.49% under 8 mu m thick scattering layer (condition 1+2). The photo-stability measurements indicated that all the three dyes are fairly photo-stable.

  • PKU-3 : An HCI-Inclusive Aluminoborate for Strecker Reaction Solved by Combining RED and PXRD
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Journal of the American Chemical Society. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0002-7863 .- 1520-5126. ; 137:22, s. 7047-7050
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A novel microporous aluminoborate, denoted as PKU-3, was prepared by the boric acid flux method. The structure of PKU-3 was determined by combining the rotation electron diffraction and synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data with well resolved ordered Cl- ions in the channel. Composition and crystal structure analysis showed that there are both proton and chlorine ions in the channels. Part of these protons and chlorine ions can be washed away by basic solutions to activate the open pores. The washed PKU-3 can be used as an efficient catalyst in the Strecker reaction with yields higher than 90%.

  • Regulating Thiol Ligands of p-Type Colloidal Quantum Dots for Efficient Infrared Solar Cells
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: ACS Energy Letters. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 2380-8195. ; 6:5, s. 1970-1989
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The p-type semiconducting colloidal quantum dot (CQD), working as a hole conductor in CQD solar cells (CQDSCs), is critical for charge carrier extraction and therefore, to large extent, determines the device's photovoltaic performance. However, during the preparation of a p-type CQD solid film on the top of an n-type CQD solid film, forming a p-n heterojunction within the CQDSCs, the optoelectronic properties of the underlayered n-type CQD solid film are significantly affected by conventional 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) ligands due to its high reactivity. Herein, a series of thiol ligands are comprehensively studied for p-type CQDs, which suggests that, by finely controlling the interaction between the CQDs and thiol ligands during the preparation of p-type CQD solid films, the n-type CQD solid films can be well protected and avoid destruction induced by thiol ligands. The p-type CQD solid film with 4-aminobenzenethiol (ABT) passivating the CQD surface exhibits better optoelectronic properties than the conventional p-type EDT-based CQD solid films, resulting in an improved photovoltaic performance in CQDSCs.

  • Highly sensitive detection of low-level water content in organic solvents and cyanide in aqueous media using novel solvatochromic AIEE fluorophores
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: RSC Advances. - : Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). - 2046-2069. ; 5:16, s. 12191-12201
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A great deal of effort has been devoted to develop easy-to-use fluorescent probes for detecting analytes due to their advantages in the field of chemo- and bio-sensing. Herein, two novel 2,2 '-biindenyl-based derivatives BDM and BDBM containing dicyanovinyl groups have been designed and synthesized, and are shown to possess the remarkable dual properties of solvatochromism and aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). Importantly, both of them are found to serve as fluorescent indicators for the qualitative and quantitative detection of low-level water in organic solvents. Meanwhile, both BDM and BDBM emit yellowish orange and orange fluorescence, respectively, in their aggregated states. Furthermore, with dicyanovinyl groups as the recognition sites, both compounds can act as colourimetric and fluorescent sensors for highly sensitive and selective detection of cyanide in aqueous media, and the apparent response signals can be observed by the naked eye even in the presence of various interference anions, promising practical applications for detecting cyanide in drinking water. Besides, optical spectroscopic techniques, NMR titration measurements, and density functional theory calculations are conducted to rationalize the sensing mechanisms of the two probes.

  • Pathological lymphangiogenesis is modulated by galectin-8-dependent crosstalk between podoplanin and integrin-associated VEGFR-3
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723. ; 7
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Lymphangiogenesis plays a pivotal role in diverse pathological conditions. Here, we demonstrate that a carbohydrate-binding protein, galectin-8, promotes pathological lymphangiogenesis. Galectin-8 is markedly upregulated in inflamed human and mouse corneas, and galectin-8 inhibitors reduce inflammatory lymphangiogenesis. In the mouse model of corneal allogeneic transplantation, galectin-8-induced lymphangiogenesis is associated with an increased rate of corneal graft rejection. Further, in the murine model of herpes simplex virus keratitis, corneal pathology and lymphangiogenesis are ameliorated in Lgals8 -/- mice. Mechanistically, VEGF-C-induced lymphangiogenesis is significantly reduced in the Lgals8 -/- and Pdpn -/- mice; likewise, galectin-8-induced lymphangiogenesis is reduced in Pdpn -/- mice. Interestingly, knockdown of VEGFR-3 does not affect galectin-8-mediated lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) sprouting. Instead, inhibiting integrins α1β1 and α5β1 curtails both galectin-8- and VEGF-C-mediated LEC sprouting. Together, this study uncovers a unique molecular mechanism of lymphangiogenesis in which galectin-8-dependent crosstalk among VEGF-C, podoplanin and integrin pathways plays a key role.

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A new silicogermanate (PKU-20) was hydrothermally synthesized using triethylisopropylammonium cation as the structure directing agent in the presence of fluoride. Its structure was determined from a combination of synchrotron single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction data. PKU-20 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m, with the lattice parameters of a = 18.5901(6) angstrom, b = 13.9118 (4) angstrom, c = 22.2614(7) angstrom and beta = 100.1514 (12)degrees. The framework of PKU-20 is constructed from an alternate stacking of sti and asv layers. The sti layer is exactly the same as that in the STI framework, while the asv layer is a new layer sliced off from the ASV framework parallel to the (112) plane. The takeout scheme of the layer is discussed on the basis of a composite building unit D4R-/au-D4R. PKU-20 possesses a two-dimensional channel system, where the 10-ring channels parallel to the [010] direction are intercrossed by 12-ring pockets along the [101] direction.

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The development of n-type organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) lags far behind their p-type counterparts. In order to address this dilemma, we report here two new fused bithiophene imide dimer (f-BTI2)-based n-type polymers with a branched methyl end-capped glycol side chain, which exhibit good solubility, low-lying LUMO energy levels, favorable polymer chain orientation, and efficient ion transport property, thus yielding a remarkable OECT electron mobility (mu(e)) of up to approximate to 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and volumetric capacitance (C*) as high as 443 F cm(-3), simultaneously. As a result, the f-BTI2TEG-FT-based OECTs deliver a record-high maximum geometry-normalized transconductance of 4.60 S cm(-1) and a maximum mu C* product of 15.2 F cm(-1) V-1 s(-1). The mu C* figure of merit is more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the state-of-the-art n-type OECTs. The emergence of f-BTI2TEG-FT brings a new paradigm for developing high-performance n-type polymers for low-power OECT applications.

  • Transition metal-catalysed molecular n-doping of organic semiconductors
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Nature. - London, United Kingdom : Nature Publishing Group. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 599:7883, s. 67-73

    • Electron doping of organic semiconductors is typically inefficient, but here a precursor molecular dopant is used to deliver higher n-doping efficiency in a much shorter doping time. Chemical doping is a key process for investigating charge transport in organic semiconductors and improving certain (opto)electronic devices(1-9). N(electron)-doping is fundamentally more challenging than p(hole)-doping and typically achieves a very low doping efficiency (eta) of less than 10%(1,10). An efficient molecular n-dopant should simultaneously exhibit a high reducing power and air stability for broad applicability(1,5,6,9,11), which is very challenging. Here we show a general concept of catalysed n-doping of organic semiconductors using air-stable precursor-type molecular dopants. Incorporation of a transition metal (for example, Pt, Au, Pd) as vapour-deposited nanoparticles or solution-processable organometallic complexes (for example, Pd-2(dba)(3)) catalyses the reaction, as assessed by experimental and theoretical evidence, enabling greatly increased eta in a much shorter doping time and high electrical conductivities (above 100 S cm(-1); ref. (12)). This methodology has technological implications for realizing improved semiconductor devices and offers a broad exploration space of ternary systems comprising catalysts, molecular dopants and semiconductors, thus opening new opportunities in n-doping research and applications(12, 13).

    • Zeolites have been widely used in industry owing to their ordered micropores and stable frameworks. The pore sizes and shapes are the key parameters that affect the selectivity and efficiency in their applications in catalysis, sorption, and separation. Zeolites with pores defined by 10 and 12 TO4 tetrahedra are often used for various catalytic processes. To optimize the performance of zeolites, it is extremely desirable to fine-tune the pore sizes/shapes. The first germanosilicate zeolite with a three-dimensional 11 x 11 x 12-ring channel system, PKU-16 (PKU, Peking University) is presented. Nanosized PKU-16 was structurally characterized by the new three-dimensional rotation electron diffraction (RED) technique. PKU-16 is structurally related to the zeolite beta polymorph C (BEC, 12 x 12 x 12-ring channels) by rotating half of the four-rings in double mtw units.

  • Dual Passivation of CsPbI3 Perovskite Nanocrystals with Amino Acid Ligands for Efficient Quantum Dot Solar Cells

    • Inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dot (PQD) receives increasing attention for the application in the new generation solar cells, but the defects on the surface of PQDs significantly affect the photovoltaic performance and stability of solar cells. Herein, the amino acids are used as dual-passivation ligands to passivate the surface defects of CsPbI3 PQDs using a facile single-step ligand exchange strategy. The PQD surface properties are investigated in depth by combining experimental studies and theoretical calculation approaches. The PQD solid films with amino acids as dual-passivation ligands on the PQD surface are thoroughly characterized using extensive techniques, which reveal that the glycine ligand can significantly improve defect passivation of PQDs and therefore diminish charge carrier recombination in the PQD solid. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the glycine-based PQD solar cell (PQDSC) is improved by 16.9% compared with that of the traditional PQDSC fabricated with Pb(NO3)(2) treating the PQD surface, owning to improved charge carrier extraction. Theoretical calculations are carried out to comprehensively understand the thermodynamic feasibility and favorable charge density distribution on the PQD surface with a dual-passivation ligand.

  • Highly Stabilized Quantum Dot Ink for Efficient Infrared Light Absorbing Solar Cells
  • 2019

    • Liquid-state ligand exchange provides an efficient approach to passivate a quantum dot (QD) surface with small binding species and achieve a QD ink toward scalable QD solar cell (QDSC) production. Herein, experimental studies and theoretical simulations are combined to establish the physical principles of QD surface properties induced charge carrier recombination and collection in QDSCs. Ammonium iodide (AI) is used to thoroughly replace the native oleic acid ligand on the PbS QD surface forming a concentrated QD ink, which has high stability of more than 30 d. The ink can be directly applied for the preparation of a thick QD solid film using a single deposition step method and the QD solid film shows better characteristics compared with that of the film prepared with the traditional PbX2 (X = I or Br) post-treated QD ink. Infrared light-absorbing QDSC devices are fabricated using the PbS-AI QD ink and the devices give a higher photovoltaic performance compared with the devices fabricated with the traditional PbS-PbX2 QD ink. The improved photovoltaic performance in PbS-AI-based QDSC is attributed to diminished charge carrier recombination induced by the sub-bandgap traps in QDs. A theoretical simulation is carried out to atomically link the relationship of QDSC device function with the QD surface properties.

  • Effects of in-situ stress on heat transfer in fracture networks
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment. - : Elsevier BV. - 2352-3808. ; 37
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Stress-induced fracture deformation is the principal cause for permeability change in geothermal systems. This study focuses on the influence of the nonlinear deformation and dilation effect of fractures on the geothermal system under the action of in-situ stress. By adopting a nonlinear constitutive model of rock fractures and embedding discrete fracture networks, numerical studies are first conducted to investigate the effects of different in-situ stress schemes on fracture aperture evolution using a rigid-body spring method. Based on the anisotropic aperture field of the fracture network caused by the in-situ stress, a finite element method is then used to study the flow and heat transfer process. The effects of different stress schemes on the heat flow transfer process are analyzed. Numerical simulation results show that when the ratio of horizontal to vertical stresses is not sufficient to cause shear dilation effects, the nonlinear normal deformation is the main factor affecting flow and heat transfer. In this case, the heat extraction efficiency is reduced. As the stress ratio increases, the shear dilation gradually becomes the dominant mechanism, and the heat extraction performance is improved. The obtained results provide a practical guide for geothermal site siting and optimizing heat extraction efficiency in geothermal reservoirs.

    • High temperature significantly influences the mechanical properties of granite, which is relevant to various engineering applications, including geothermal energy extraction. The objective of this study is to investigate the meso-mechanics of granite, specifically focusing on the formation of thermal cracks and the temperature-dependent mechanical properties in heterogeneous rock. Firstly, we heat the granite to 25–1000 ℃ by muffle furnace. Following this, we conduct triaxial compression tests with 0–20 MPa confining pressures on the heated-specimens cooled by cold water. Subsequently, we combine the grain-based model (GBM) and the finite-discrete element method (FDEM) to simulate the heat treatment process and the triaxial experiments. We calibrate the micromechanical parameters of granite by experimental results. Results show that the mechanism behind the formation of thermal cracks in granite subjected to high-temperature is the differential thermal expansion coefficients of mineral particles in granites, leading to the degradation of mechanical properties in thermal-treated granite. The temperature threshold for the formation of thermal cracks is between 500 °C and 550 °C. Particularly, the stress-strain curve of granite exhibits ideal elastic-plastic characteristics under temperature is 1000 °C. These results can help to demonstrate the temperature-dependent evolution of mechanical properties of crystalline rocks, providing a theoretical basis for the utilization of engineering applications.

  • Distinct periods of fan aggradation and incision for tributary valleys of different sizes along the Bailong River, eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau

    • Understanding the mechanisms of fan incision/aggradation provides key insights into the dynamics of fan evolution and hazardous fan-forming processes. This paper focuses on the discrepancy in fan evolution for two nearby valleys of different catchment areas along the Bailong River. Specifically, we study fan evolution in the small-sized CJB valley (watershed area being 1.1 km(2)) using sedimentary analyses and C-14 dating. Sedimentary logging of seven exposed profiles indicates that mudflows and debris flows are the primary fan-forming processes. Seven samples were taken from paleosols developed in mudflow sediments, and the humin fraction was extracted for C-14 dating. These ages constrain the fan aggradation period to between 10 and 4.9 cal kyr BP, and then the incision period occurred after 4.9 cal kyr BP. As the mudflow sediments may contain organic matter from hillslope legacies, the fan aggradation period may be later than the C-14 ages defined in this study. In any case, the time of fan incision/aggradation in CJB is younger than that of the GLP valley (watershed area being 20 km(2)) where fan aggradation occurred in 21.7-7 ka and incision occurred afterward. The fan aggradation period defined by the C-14 ages in CJB is consistent with an alluvial fan of similar thickness in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau and two other fans along the Bailong River. This consistency may suggest a plausible climatic control on fan evolution for small-sized tributary valleys, while the inconsistency with the larger GLP valley may suggest different climate-response regimes for tributary valleys of different sizes. More research on similar types of alluvial fans and cross-validation of different dating methods is needed.

    • A germanate zeolite, PKU-14, with a three- dimensional large-pore channel system was structurally characterized by a combination of high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction, rotation electron diffraction, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. Ordered Ge4O4 vacancies inside the [4(6).6(12)] cages has been found in PKU-14, in which a unique (H2O)(2) dimer was located at the vacancies and played a structure-directing role. It is the first time that water clusters are found to be templates for ordered framework vacancies.

    • One of the challenges in materials science has been to prepare crystalline inorganic compounds with mesopores. Although several design strategies have been developed to address the challenge, expansion of pore sizes in inorganic materials is more difficult compared to that for metal-organic frameworks. Herein, we designed a novel mesoporous germanate PKU-17 with 3D 48 x 16 x 16-ring channels by introducing two large building units (Ge-10 and Ge-7 clusters) into the same framework. The key for this design strategy is the selection of 2-propanolamine (MIPA), which serves as the terminal species to promote the crystallization of Ge-7 clusters. Moreover, it is responsible for the coexistence of Ge-10 and Ge-7 clusters. To our knowledge, the discovery of PKU-17 sets a new record in pore sizes among germanates. It is also the first germanate that exhibits a good selectivity toward CO2 over N-2 and CH4.

    • Two novel layered silicates, PKU-13 and PKU-13a, were hydrothermally synthesized by using trimethyl-propylammonium hydroxide as the structure directing agent (SDA). Their structures were solved by using powder X-ray diffraction data in combination with electron diffraction technique and NMR spectroscopy. These two silicates are built from the same r52 layer in different stacking modes: the adjacent r52 layers in PKU-13a have a 0.5b + 0.68c shift compared with those in PKU-13. The difference is due to the SDA cations located between the layers. The SDA cations exist as a monolayer in the structure of PKU-13, and link the adjacent layers by Coulomb actions in combination with strong hydrogen bonds. In PKU-13a, the SDA cations present in the bi-layer expend the distance between layers and destroy the inter-layer hydrogen bonds. PKU-13a can transform to PKU-13 after treatment with acetic acid solution. The co-existence of intra-layer hydrogen bonds in PKU-13 interfere in its condensation to an ordered crystalline microporous framework. Both PKU-13 and PKU-13a exhibit good catalytic activities as base catalysts in the Knoevenagel condensation reaction.

  • 16% efficiency all-polymer organic solar cells enabled by a finely tuned morphology via the design of ternary blend
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Joule. - : CELL PRESS. - 2542-4351. ; 5:4, s. 914-930
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A SUMMARY There is an urgent demand for all-polymer organic solar cells (AP-OSCs) to gain higher efficiency. Here, we successfully improve the performance to 16.09% by introducing a small amount of BN-T, a B <- N-type polymer acceptor, into the PM6:PY-IT blend. It has been found that BN-T makes the active layer, based on the PM6:PY-IT:BN-T ternary blend, more crystalline but meanwhile slightly reduces the phase separation, leading to enhancement of both exciton harvesting and charge transport. From a thermodynamic viewpoint, BN-T prefers to reside between PM6 and PY-IT, and the fraction of this fine-tunes the morphology. Besides, a significantly reduced nonradiative energy loss occurs in the ternary blend, along with the coexistence of energy and charge transfer between the two acceptors. The progressive performance facilitated by these improved properties demonstrates that AP-OSCs can possibly comparably efficient with those based on small molecule acceptors, further enhancing the competitiveness of this device type.

    • Increased risks of certain cancers have been observed in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, data on other cancer sites/types are lacking. We analyzed systematically the risk of developing 35 common cancers in patients with HCV infection using a nationwide Swedish database. Patients with HCV infection were identified from the Swedish Hospital Inpatient and Outpatient Register and Primary Health Care Database, and followed until the diagnosis of cancer. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated for subsequent 35 common cancer sites/types between 1990 and 2010 in patients with HCV infection in Sweden. Increased risks were recorded for six cancers. The highest SIR was seen for liver cancer (36.67; 95% CI: 33.20-40.40). The decreased risk was for prostate cancer (0.73; 95% CI: 0.59-0.90) and melanoma (0.50; 95% CI: 0.30-0.79). A significant sex-difference for cancer was observed only for liver cancer (40.72; 95% CI: 36.36-45.45 for men and 27.21; 95% CI: 21.90-33.41 for women). Also, increased SIRs were noted only for liver cancer during the entire period of follow-up. HCV infection was associated with an increased incidence of liver cancer and additionally five other types of cancer. Active surveillance of other cancers may be needed in order to be diagnosed at an earlier stage.

  • A Robust Direction of Arrival Estimation Method for Coherently Distributed Sources in an Impulsive Noise Environment
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: IEEE Sensors Journal. - 1530-437X. ; 23:13, s. 14375-14387
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In this work, a computationally efficient evolutionary algorithm is proposed for estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of coherently distributed (CD) sources corrupted by additive impulsive noise. The typical method, such as distributed signal parameter estimation (DSPE) method, requires a 2-D spectral peak search and cannot allow for coherent signals. The proposed method in this article uses an infinite norm (IN) normalization combined with the maximum likelihood (ML) criteria. The resulting cost function is solved using the introduced multimodal quantum-inspired benchmarking algorithm (MQBA), which obviously reduces the computational complexity without grid errors. The Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the considered DOA estimation problem is also derived. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to show that our algorithm can perform superior robustness and allow for coherent signals without any additional process compared with alternative approaches for the considered scenarios. In addition, the proposed scheme can be popularized to address other DOA estimation problems and promote the development of DOA estimation.

  • Hexanary blends : a strategy towards thermally stable organic photovoltaics
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 2041-1723. ; 14:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Non-fullerene based organic solar cells display a high initial power conversion efficiency but continue to suffer from poor thermal stability, especially in case of devices with thick active layers. Mixing of five structurally similar acceptors with similar electron affinities, and blending with a donor polymer is explored, yielding devices with a power conversion efficiency of up to 17.6%. The hexanary device performance is unaffected by thermal annealing of the bulk-heterojunction active layer for at least 23 days at 130 °C in the dark and an inert atmosphere. Moreover, hexanary blends offer a high degree of thermal stability for an active layer thickness of up to 390 nm, which is advantageous for high-throughput processing of organic solar cells. Here, a generic strategy based on multi-component acceptor mixtures is presented that permits to considerably improve the thermal stability of non-fullerene based devices and thus paves the way for large-area organic solar cells.

  • Reducing energy loss via tuning energy levels of polymer acceptors for efficient all-polymer solar cells

    • The open-circuit voltage (Voc) of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) is typically lower than 0.9 V even for the most efficient ones. Large energy loss is the main reason for limiting Voc and efficiency of all-PSCs. Herein, through materials design using electron deficient building blocks based on bithiophene imides, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of polymer acceptors can be effectively tuned, which resulted in a reduced energy loss induced by charge generation and recombination loss due to the suppressed charge-transfer (CT) state absorption. Despite a negligible driving force, all-PSC based on the polymer donor and acceptor combination with well-aligned energy levels exhibited efficient charge transfer and achieved an external quantum efficiency over 10% while maintaining a large Voc of 1.02 V, leading to a 9.21% efficiency. Through various spectroscopy approaches, this work sheds light on the mechanism of energy loss in all-PSCs, which paves an avenue to achieving efficient all-PSCs with large Voc and drives the further development of all-PSCs.

  • Dissecting the structure-stability relationship of Y-series electron acceptors for real-world solar cell applications

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Despite striking progress toward improving the photovoltaic (PV) performance of organic solar cells (OSCs) with recent Y-series non-fullerene acceptors (Y-NFAs), knowledge about their outdoor performance under real-world conditions and photodegradation mechanisms remains elusive, which is urgently needed to close the lab-to-fab gap of OSCs. Herein, for the first time, we study the structure-outdoor-stability relationship of Y-NFAs. We show that Y-NFAs with long internal side-chains exhibit high energy barriers for photoisomerization, and fluorinated end-groups can enhance the structural confinement to inhibit the photodegradation pathway and thereby improve device stability. Furthermore, the performance loss of Y-NFA-based OSCs under illumination is mainly driven by increased trap-assisted recombination over time. The structure-stability correlation and demonstration of outdoor performance of these state-of-the-art Y-NFA cells provided in this study highlight molecular engineering of device stability control to minimize power output losses in real-world climates.

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A single crystalline InSb nanosheet is an emerging planar semiconductor material with potential applications in electronics, infrared optoelectronics, spintronics, and topological quantum computing. Here, we report on the realization of a quantum dot device from a single crystalline InSb nanosheet grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The device is fabricated from the nanosheet on a Si/SiO2 substrate, and quantum dot confinement is achieved by the top gate technique. Transport measurements of the device are carried out at a low temperature in a dilution refrigerator. It is found that the measured charge stability diagram is characterized by a series of small Coulomb diamonds at high plunger gate voltages and a series of large Coulomb diamonds at low plunger gate voltages, demonstrating the formation of a gate-tunable quantum dot in the InSb nanosheet. Gate-defined planar InSb quantum dots offer a renewed platform for developing semiconductor-based quantum computation technology.

  • Comprehensive understanding of heat-induced degradation of triple-cation mixed halide perovskite for a robust solar cell

    • The triple-cation mixed halide perovskite Cs-0.05(MA(0.17)FA(0.83))(0.95)Pb(I0.83Br0.17)(3) emerges as one of the most promising candidates for photovoltaics due to superior optoelectronic properties, but the thermal stability is still a major challenge for the viability of perovskite solar cells towards commercialization. Herein, we firstly explore the thermal response of the photovoltaic performances to access device physical changes. It is shown that the efficiency loss originates from decreased charge mobility, increased trap density and generation of PbI2 charge recombination centers near the interface. In-depth analysis of evolutions in morphology, chemical composition, dynamic and electronic structure of the perovskite layer at the nanometer scales indicates that it is initial dangling bonds and vacancies on the imperfect surfaces decrease the activation energy and cause the perovskite decomposition in a layer-by-layer pathway sequentially from the film surface to bulk. Based on the results, a strategy of surface passivation to improve the thermal stability is demonstrated and discussed. This work for the first time provides insights into the physical and chemical change of such triple-cation perovskite and indicates that more effort should be invested in surface treatment for enhancing perovskite device stability.

  • Extremely Low-Cost and Green Cellulose Passivating Perovskites for Stable and High-Performance Solar Cells

    • The fast evolution of metal halide perovskite solar cells has opened a new chapter in the field of renewable energy. High-quality perovskite films as the active layers are essential for both high efficiency and long-term stability. Here, the perovskite films with enlarged crystal grain size and decreased defect density are fabricated by introducing the extremely low-cost and green polymer, ethyl cellulose (EC), into the perovskite layer. The addition of EC triggers hydrogen bonding interactions between EC and the perovskite, passivating the charge defect traps at the grain boundaries. The long chain of EC further acts as a scaffold for the perovskite structure, eliminating the annealing-induced lattice strain during the film fabrication process. The resulting devices with the EC additive exhibit a remarkably enhanced average power conversion efficiency from 17.11 to 19.27% and an improvement of all device parameters. The hysteresis index is found to decrease by three times from 0.081 to 0.027, which is attributed to suppressed ion migration and surface charge trapping. In addition, the defect passivation by EC significantly improves the environmental stability of the perovskite films, yielding devices that retain 80% of their initial efficiency after 30 days in ambient air at 45% relative humidity, whereas the pristine devices without EC fully degrade. This work provides a low-cost and green avenue for passivating defects that improves both the efficiency and operational stability of perovskite solar cells.

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Stretchable synaptic devices with adaptability to elastic deformation, sensing environmental stimuli, and unique information processing functions are of great significance for the development of the next generation of artificial nervous systems. Here, an intrinsically stretchable tribotronic mechanoplastic artificial synapse (STMAS) is proposed, which is integrated by a triboelectric nanogenerator and an electrolyte-gated transistor with ion-gel as dielectric layer. The STMAS can be modulated by the triboelectric potential induced by mechanical stimulation without the need to apply an external gate voltage, achieving an active mechanical tuning of synaptic plasticity such as excitatory postsynaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, short-term plasticity, and long-term plasticity. The STMAS exhibits stable synaptic plasticity under 0–50% stretcher strain in parallel and vertical to channel directions, respectively. Furthermore, the International Morse code triggered by mechanical signals has been successfully mimicked. This work has achieved an intrinsically stretchable tribotronic artificial synapse with mechanically tuned synaptic behavior, which will help promote the development of artificial nervous systems and expand the applications of artificial synapses in intelligent robotics, artificial limbs and human–machine interaction.

  • The oldest complete jawed vertebrates from the early Silurian of China
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Nature. - : Springer Nature. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 609:7929, s. 954-958
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Molecular studies suggest that the origin of jawed vertebrates was no later than the Late Ordovician period (around 450 million years ago (Ma))(1,2). Together with disarticulated micro-remains of putative chondrichthyans from the Ordovician and early Silurian period(3-8), these analyses suggest an evolutionary proliferation of jawed vertebrates before, and immediately after, the end-Ordovician mass extinction. However, until now, the earliest complete fossils of jawed fishes for which a detailed reconstruction of their morphology was possible came from late Silurian assemblages (about 425 Ma)(9-13). The dearth of articulated, whole-body fossils from before the late Silurian has long rendered the earliest history of jawed vertebrates obscure. Here we report a newly discovered Konservat-Lagerstatte, which is marked by the presence of diverse, well-preserved jawed fishes with complete bodies, from the early Silurian (Telychian age, around 436 Ma) of Chongqing, South China. The dominant species, a `placoderm' or jawed stem gnathostome, which we name Xiushanosteus mirabilis gen. et sp. nov., combines characters from major placoderm subgroups(14-17) and foreshadows the transformation of the skull roof pattern from the placoderm to the osteichthyan condition(10). The chondrichthyan Shenacanthus uermiformis gen. et sp. nov. exhibits extensive thoracic armour plates that were previously unknown in this lineage, and include a large median dorsal plate as in placoderms(14-16), combined with a conventional chondrichthyan bauplan(18,19). Together, these species reveal a previously unseen diversification of jawed vertebrates in the early Silurian, and provide detailed insights into the whole-body morphology of the jawed vertebrates of this period.
