New Acidic Precursor and Acetone-Based Solvent for Fast Perovskite Processing via Proton-Exchange Reaction with Methylamine.

ABSTRACT: A new solvent system for PbI2 based on HI solution in acetone with a low boiling point is proposed. High solubility of PbI2 is caused by the formation of iodoplumbate complexes, and reaches a concentration of 1.6 M. Upon its crystallization metastable solvate phases PbI2?HI?n{(CH3)2CO} are formed. The latter allows for their easy deposition on substrates in a form of smooth and uniform thin films by spin-coating. Through a fast acid-base reaction with a gaseous amine, the films of the intermediate phase can be completely converted to single-phase perovskite films. The developed method allows one to form smooth perovskite films with high crystallinity with a thickness up to 1 ?m. Due to easy and fast processing, the developed method can be promising for perovskite technology upscaling.

Solvent exchange in preformed photocatalyst-donor precursor complexes determines efficiency.

Project description:In homogeneous photocatalytic reduction of CO2, it is widely assumed that the primary electron transfer from the sacrificial donor to the catalyst is diffusion controlled, thus little attention has been paid to optimizing this step. We present spectroscopic evidence that the precursor complex is preformed, driven by preferential solvation, and two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy reveals triethanolamine (donor)/tetrahydrofuran (solvent) exchange in the photocatalyst's solvation shell, reaching greatest magnitude at the known optimal concentration (?20% v/v TEOA in THF) for catalytically reducing CO2 to CO. Transient infrared absorption shows the appearance of the singly reduced catalyst on an ultrafast (<70 ps) time scale, consistent with non-diffusion controlled electron transfer within the preformed precursor complex. Identification of preferential catalyst-cosolvent interactions suggests a revised paradigm for the primary electron transfer, while illuminating the pivotal importance of solvent exchange in determining the overall efficiency of the photocycle.

New Methylamine-Iodine-Mediated Solvent-Free Approach of Hybrid Perovskite Synthesis via the Redox Conversion of Metallic Lead Films.

Project description:The fast progress of lab-scale perovskite solar cells makes the problem of upscaling of perovskite thin-film deposition more and more acute; therefore, the development of new methods for perovskite deposition is highly desired. In this work, we proposed a new solution-free preparation approach for hybrid perovskite films based on the in situ generation of methylammonium iodide from methylamine and iodine vapors in the presence of an organic reducing agent conjugated with a redox process of metallic lead conversion with iodine vapor. At first, we demonstrated that either metallic lead or lead iodide powders can readily react with the solution of methylamine and iodine in the presence of isopropyl alcohol acting as a reducing agent, resulting in a phase-pure polycrystalline CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite. A possible mechanism of underlying chemical processes has been proposed. In order to convert the predeposited thin films of metallic lead to CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite, a protocol of sequential treatment by iodine and methylamine vapors was proposed. Finally, we revealed the optimal conditions of processing, which were proven to be facile and robust for the sake of the better control of perovskite grain morphology.

Investigation of the Amide Proton Solvent Exchange Properties of Glycosaminoglycan Oligosaccharides.

Project description:One-dimensional 1H NMR experiments were conducted for aqueous solutions of glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides to measure the amide proton temperature coefficients and activation energy barriers for solvent exchange and evaluate the effect of pH on the solvent exchange properties. A library of mono- and oligosaccharides was prepared by enzymatic depolymerization of amide-containing polysaccharides and by chemical modification of heparin and heparan sulfate saccharides including members that contain a 3- O-sulfated glucosamine residue. The systematic evaluation of this saccharide library facilitated assessment of the effects of structural characteristics, such as size, sulfation number and site, and glycosidic linkage, on amide proton solvent exchange rates. Charge repulsion by neighboring negatively charged sulfate and carboxylate groups was found to have a significant impact on the catalysis of amide proton solvent exchange by hydroxide. This observation leads to the conclusion that solvent exchange rates must be interpreted within the context of a given chemical environment. On their own, slow exchange rates do not conclusively establish the involvement of a labile proton in a hydrogen bond, and additional supporting experimental evidence such as reduced temperature coefficients is required.

Nitrate Ion-Incorporated Stable Perovskite Nanocrystals by a Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Reaction.

Project description:We have synthesized a new class of organolead halide perovskite nanocrystals by a solvent-free mechanochemical green approach. We have developed a new combination of precursor by incorporating nitrate ions into the MAPbBr3 perovskite core. While the presence of nitrate ion is evidenced by Fourier-transform infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction data shows the formation of perovskite nanocrystals. By altering the precursor composition, the morphology of the nanocrystals changes. Photoluminescence properties of these nanocrystals are preserved. Moreover, the stability of these nanocrystals is monitored for a long time, which shows that the incorporation of nitrate ions into the perovskite nanocrystal core does not have any decremental effect on its stability. Nonetheless, this strategy to synthesize perovskite nanocrystals reduces the solvent toxicity.

Continuous Consecutive Reactions with Inter-Reaction Solvent Exchange by Membrane Separation.

Project description:Pharmaceutical production typically involves multiple reaction steps with separations between successive reactions. Two processes which complicate the transition from batch to continuous operation in multistep synthesis are solvent exchange (especially high-boiling- to low-boiling-point solvent), and catalyst separation. Demonstrated here is membrane separation as an enabling platform for undertaking these processes during continuous operation. Two consecutive reactions are performed in different solvents, with catalyst separation and inter-reaction solvent exchange achieved by continuous flow membrane units. A Heck coupling reaction is performed in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in a continuous membrane reactor which retains the catalyst. The Heck reaction product undergoes solvent exchange in a counter-current membrane system where DMF is continuously replaced by ethanol. After exchange the product dissolved in ethanol passes through a column packed with an iron catalyst, and undergoes reduction (>99?% yield).

Amide proton solvent protection in amylin fibrils probed by quenched hydrogen exchange NMR.

Project description:Amylin is an endocrine hormone that accumulates in amyloid plaques in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes. The amyloid plaques have been implicated in the destruction of pancreatic ?-cells, which synthesize amylin and insulin. To better characterize the secondary structure of amylin in amyloid fibrils we assigned the NMR spectrum of the unfolded state in 95% DMSO and used a quenched hydrogen-deuterium exchange technique to look at amide proton solvent protection in the fibrils. In this technique, partially exchanged fibrils are dissolved in 95% DMSO and information about amide proton occupancy in the fibrils is determined from DMSO-denatured monomers. Hydrogen exchange lifetimes at pH 7.6 and 37°C vary between ?5 h for the unstructured N-terminus to 600 h for amide protons in the two ?-strands that form inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between amylin monomers along the length of the fibril. Based on the protection data we conclude that residues A8-H18 and I26-Y37 comprise the two ?-strands in amylin fibrils. There is variation in protection within the ?-strands, particularly for strand ?1 where only residues F15-H18 are strongly protected. Differences in protection appear to be due to restrictions on backbone dynamics imposed by the packing of two-layers of C2-symmetry-related ?-hairpins in the protofilament structure, with strand ?1 positioned on the surface and ?2 in the interior.

Slow Anion-Exchange Reaction of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals in Supramolecular Gel Networks.

Project description:Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are widely studied as among the most attractive emissive nanomaterials because of their high photoluminescence quantum yield and tunable emission wavelengths over the whole visible-light region by the halide ion-exchange reaction. However, the reactions were often observed in solution and generally very fast, which interferes with the fine-tuning capability of the emission properties. Here, we report a novel nanocrystal-organogel hybrid soft material in which the perovskite nanocrystals in a supramolecular gel exhibit extremely slow and inhomogeneous anion-exchange reactions that are different from those in solution. Furthermore, the inhomogeneous emission in the gel became homogeneous over several days due to a slow diffusion.

Halogen-Metal Exchange on Bromoheterocyclics with Substituents Containing an Acidic Proton via Formation of a Magnesium Intermediate.

Project description:A selective and practical bromine-metal exchange on bromoheterocyclics bearing substituents with an acidic proton under non-cryogenic conditions was developed by a simple modification of an existing protocol. Our protocol of using a combination of i-PrMgCl and n-BuLi has not only solved the problem of intermolecular quenching that often occurred when using alkyl lithium alone as the reagent for halogen-lithium exchange, but also offered a highly selective method for performing bromo-metal exchange on dibrominated arene compounds through chelation effect.

Investigation of Solvent Hydron Exchange in the Reaction Catalyzed by the Antibiotic Resistance Protein Cfr.

Project description:Cfr is a radical S-adenosylmethionine (RS) methylase that appends methyl groups to C8 and C2 of adenosine 2503 in 23S rRNA. Methylation of C8 confers resistance to several classes of antibiotics that bind in or near the peptidyltransferase center of the bacterial ribosome, including the synthetic antibiotic linezolid. The Cfr reaction requires the action of five conserved cysteines, three of which ligate a required [4Fe-4S] cluster cofactor. The two remaining cysteines play a more intricate role in the reaction; one (Cys338) becomes transiently methylated during catalysis. The function of the second (Cys105) has not been rigorously established; however, in the related RlmN reaction, it (Cys118) initiates resolution of a key protein-nucleic acid cross-linked intermediate by abstracting the proton from the carbon center (C2) undergoing methylation. We previously proposed that, unlike RlmN, Cfr would utilize a polyprotic base during resolution of the protein-nucleic acid cross-linked intermediate during C8 methylation and, like RlmN, use a monoprotic base during C2 methylation. We based this proposal on the fact that solvent hydrons could exchange into the product during C8 methylation, but not during C2 methylation. Herein, we show that Cys105 of Cfr has a function similar to that of Cys118 of RlmN while methylating C8 of A2503 and provide evidence for one molecule of water that is in close contact with it, which provides the exchangeable protons during catalysis.

Methylamine-assisted growth of uniaxial-oriented perovskite thin films with millimeter-sized grains.

Project description:Defects from grain interiors and boundaries of perovskite films cause significant nonradiative recombination energy loss, and thus perovskite films with controlled crystallinity and large grains is critical for improvement of both photovoltaic performance and stability for perovskite-based solar cells. Here, a methylamine (MA0) gas-assisted crystallization method is developed for fabrication of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite films. In the process, the perovskite film is formed via controlled release of MA0 gas molecules from a liquid intermediate phase MAPbI3·xMA0. The resulting perovskite film comprises millimeter-sized grains with (110)-uniaxial crystallographic orientation, exhibiting much low trap density, long carrier lifetime, and excellent environmental stability. The corresponding perovskite solar cell exhibits a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ~ 21.36%, which is among the highest reported for MAPbI3-based devices. This method provides important progress towards the fabrication of high-quality perovskite thin films for low-cost, highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.
