UV Hyperspectral Imaging as Process Analytical Tool for the Characterization of Oxide Layers and Copper States on Direct Bonded Copper

ABSTRACT: Hyperspectral imaging and reflectance spectroscopy in the range from 200–380 nm were used to rapidly detect and characterize copper oxidation states and their layer thicknesses on direct bonded copper in a non-destructive way. Single-point UV reflectance spectroscopy, as a well-established method, was utilized to compare the quality of the hyperspectral imaging results. For the laterally resolved measurements of the copper surfaces an UV hyperspectral imaging setup based on a pushbroom imager was used. Six different types of direct bonded copper were studied. Each type had a different oxide layer thickness and was analyzed by depth profiling using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In total, 28 samples were measured to develop multivariate models to characterize and predict the oxide layer thicknesses. The principal component analysis models (PCA) enabled a general differentiation between the sample types on the first two PCs with 100.0% and 96% explained variance for UV spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, respectively. Partial least squares regression (PLS-R) models showed reliable performance with R2c = 0.94 and 0.94 and RMSEC = 1.64 nm and 1.76 nm, respectively. The developed in-line prototype system combined with multivariate data modeling shows high potential for further development of this technique towards real large-scale processes.

Copper oxide-based cathode for direct NADPH regeneration.

Project description:Nearly a fourth of all enzymatic activities is attributable to oxidoreductases, and the redox reactions supported by this vast catalytic repertoire sustain cellular metabolism. In many biological processes, reduction depends on hydride transfer from either reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or its phosphorylated derivative (NADPH). Despite longstanding efforts to regenerate NADPH by various methods and harness it to support chemoenzymatic synthesis strategies, the lack of product purity has been a major deterrent. Here, we demonstrate that a nanostructured heterolayer Ni-Cu2O-Cu cathode formed by a photoelectrochemical process has unexpected efficiency in direct electrochemical regeneration of NADPH from NADP+. Remarkably, two-thirds of NADP+ was converted to NADPH with no measurable production of the inactive (NADP)2 dimer and at the lowest reported overpotential [- 0.75 V versus Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl) reference]. Sputtering of nickel on the copper-oxide electrode nucleated an unexpected surface morphology that was critical for high product selectivity. Our results should motivate design of integrated electrolyzer platforms that deploy this heterogeneous catalyst for direct electrochemical regeneration of NADH/NADPH, which is central to design of next-generation biofuel fermentation strategies, biological solar converters, energy-storage devices, and artificial photosynthesis.

A (RP)UHPLC/UV analytical method to quantify dsRNA during the mRNA vaccine manufacturing process.

Project description:dsRNA is a product related impurity produced during the mRNA manufacturing process. The established immuno-based detection methods lack the flexibility and speed required to be applied throughout the manufacturing process. The RP-HPLC method developed outperforms these in terms of precision, broader detection range, LOD and LOQ, as well as in output variance. Using this method, dsRNA can be quantified in under 30 min for a single sample.

Manual for Transference Work Scale; a micro-analytical tool for therapy process analyses.

Project description:BackgroundThe present paper is a manual for the Transference Work Scale (TWS). The inter-rater agreement on the 26 TWS items was good to excellent and previously published. TWS is a therapy process rating scale focusing on Transference Work (TW) (i.e. analysis of the patient-therapist relationship). TW is considered a core active ingredient in dynamic psychotherapy. Adequate process scales are needed to identify and analyze in-session effects of therapist techniques in psychodynamic psychotherapy and empirically establish their links to outcome. TWS was constructed to identify and categorize relational (transference) interventions, and explore the in-session impact of analysis of the patient-therapist relationship (transference work). TWS has sub scales that rate timing, content, and valence of the transference interventions, as well as response from the patient.MethodsDescriptions and elaborations of the items in TWS are provided. Clinical examples of transference work from the First Experimental Study of Transference Interpretations (FEST) are included and followed by examples of how to rate transcripts from therapy sessions with TWS.ResultsThe present manual describes in detail the rating procedure when using Transference Work Scale. Ratings are illustrated with clinical examples from FEST.ConclusionTWS might be a potentially useful tool to explore the interaction of timing, category, and valence of transference work in predicting in-session patient response as well as treatment outcome. TWS might prove especially suitable for intensive case studies combining quantitative and narrative data.Trial registry nameFirst Experimental Study of Transference-interpretations (FEST307/95).Registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00423462.

cLoops2: a full-stack comprehensive analytical tool for chromatin interactions

Project description:Investigating chromatin interactions between regulatory regions such as enhancer and promoter elements is pivotal for a deeper understanding of gene expression regulation. The emerging 3D mapping technologies focusing on enriched signals such as Hi-TrAC/Trac-looping and HiChIP, compared to Hi-C, reduce the sequencing cost, and provide higher interaction resolution for cis-regulatory elements and more comprehensive information such as chromatin accessibility. A robust pipeline is needed for the comprehensive interpretation of these data, especially for loop-centric analysis. Therefore, we have developed a new versatile tool named cLoops2 for the full-stack analysis of the 3D chromatin interaction data. cLoops2 consists of core modules of peak-calling, loop-calling, differentially enriched loops calling and loops annotation. Additionally, it also contains multiple modules to carry out interaction resolution estimation, data similarity estimation, features quantification and aggregation analysis, and visualization. cLoops2 with documentation and example data are open source and freely available at GitHub: https://github.com/YaqiangCao/cLoops2

Transmetalation Process as a Route for Preparation of Zinc-Oxide-Supported Copper Nanoparticles.

Project description:Supported nanoparticulate materials have a variety of uses, from energy storage to catalysis. In preparing such materials, precision control can often be achieved by applying chemical deposition methods. However, ligand removal following the initial deposition presents a substantial challenge because of potential surface contamination. Traditional approaches normally include multistep processing and require a substantial thermal budget. Using transmetalation chemistry, it is possible to circumvent both disadvantages and prepare chemically reactive copper nanoparticles supported on a commercially available ZnO powder material by metalorganic vapor copper deposition followed by very mild annealing to 350 K. The self-limiting copper deposition reaction is used to demonstrate the utility of this approach for hexafluoroacetylacetonate-copper-vinyltrimethylsilane, Cu(hfac)VTMS, reacting with ZnO. The low-temperature transmetalation is confirmed by a combination of spectroscopic studies. Model density functional theory calculations are consistent with a thermodynamic driving force for the process.

Direct search for a ferromagnetic phase in a heavily overdoped nonsuperconducting copper oxide.

Project description:The doping of charge carriers into the CuO(2) planes of copper oxide Mott insulators causes a gradual destruction of antiferromagnetism and the emergence of high-temperature superconductivity. Optimal superconductivity is achieved at a doping concentration p beyond which further increases in doping cause a weakening and eventual disappearance of superconductivity. A potential explanation for this demise is that ferromagnetic fluctuations compete with superconductivity in the overdoped regime. In this case, a ferromagnetic phase at very low temperatures is predicted to exist beyond the doping concentration at which superconductivity disappears. Here we report on a direct examination of this scenario in overdoped La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) using the technique of muon spin relaxation. We detect the onset of static magnetic moments of electronic origin at low temperature in the heavily overdoped nonsuperconducting region. However, the magnetism does not exist in a commensurate long-range ordered state. Instead it appears as a dilute concentration of static magnetic moments. This finding places severe restrictions on the form of ferromagnetism that may exist in the overdoped regime. Although an extrinsic impurity cannot be absolutely ruled out as the source of the magnetism that does occur, the results presented here lend support to electronic band calculations that predict the occurrence of weak localized ferromagnetism at high doping.

UV-O<sub>3</sub> treated annealing-free cerium oxide as electron transport layers in flexible planar perovskite solar cells.

Project description:Fabricating electron transport layers at low temperatures is challenging but highly desired in the field of flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs). In this study, highly uniform cerium oxide (CeO x ) films prepared by the UV-O3 treatment have been successfully applied as the electron transport layer (ETL) in methylammonium lead halide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite-based f-PSCs. Under AM 1.5 G sunlight with 100 mW cm-2, these cells exhibited an open-circuit voltage (V oc) of 0.98 V, a short-circuit current density (J sc) of 19.42 mA cm-2, a fill factor (FF) of 0.72 and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.63%. The PCE was much higher than that of the control planar CeO x ETL (PCE ∼ 9.08%) prepared at a low temperature (80 °C) without the UV-O3 treatment, and this was ascribed to the improved CeO x film, enhanced light absorption and suppressed charge recombination. The cells that bend at 15 mm of radius showed excellent stability with less than 10% reduction in PCE after 500 cycles of repeated bending at ambient temperature. The charge-transmission kinetic parameters and long-term stability of the CeO x -based f-PSCs were analyzed as well.

Tuneable pressure effects in graphene oxide layers.

Project description:Tuneable pressure effects associated with changing interlayer distances in two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO)/reduced GO (rGO) layers are demonstrated through monitoring the changes in the spin-crossover (SCO) temperature (T 1/2) of [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4) nanoparticles (NPs) incorporated in the interlayer spaces of the GO/rGO layers. The interlayer separation along the GO to GO/rGO-NP composites to rGO series decreases smoothly from 9.00 Å (for GO) to 3.50 Å (for rGO) as the temperature employed for the thermal reduction treatments of the GO-NP composites is increased. At the same time, T 1/2 increases from 351 K to 362 K along the series. This T 1/2 increment of 11 K corresponds to that observed for pristine [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4) NPs under a hydrostatic pressure of 38 MPa. The influence of the stacked layer structures on the pseudo-pressure effects has been further probed by investigating the differences in T 1/2 for [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4) that is present in the composite as larger bulk particles rather than as NPs.

Solriamfetol impurities: Synthesis, characterization, and analytical method (UPLC-UV) validation.

Project description:Given that impurities may affect the quality and safety of drug products, impurity identification and profiling is an integral part of drug quality control and is particularly important for newly developed medications such as solriamfetol, which is used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness. Although the high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of commercial solriamfetol has revealed the presence of several impurities, their synthesis, structure elucidation, and chromatographic determination have not been reported yet. To bridge this gap, we herein identified, synthesized, and isolated eight process-related solriamfetol impurities, characterized them using spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, and proposed plausible mechanisms of their formation. Moreover, we developed and validated a prompt impurity analysis method based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection, revealing that its selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and quantitation limit meet the acceptance criteria of method validation stipulated by the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. Thus, the developed method was concluded to be suitable for the routine analysis of solriamfetol substances.

Copper oxide nanomaterial regulation and fate in Cucurbita pepo

Project description:Nanomaterials (NMs) are on the nanoscale level range ca. 1-100 nm and due to the peculiar physico-chemical properties are widely used in different areas. The present study aimed to characterize the responses of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) treated with copper oxide (CuO) NPs from seed germination to the flowering stage. CuO NPs treatment did not negatively impact plant morphology and growth as well as the pollen formation and viability. Physiological analyses were followed by a complete RNAseq-based transcriptomic analysis in the different plant tissues. Mitochondrial and chloroplast functions emerged as a critical component in plant response. Evidence of CuO NPs internalization and biotransformation was a driving force to measure the impacts at both physiological and molecular levels.
