Charge Transport Properties in TiO₂ Network with Different Particle Sizes for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

The charge transport properties in the TiO₂ nanoparticle networks with the different TiO₂ nanoparticle sizes were investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with consideration of morphological aspects of mesoporous TiO₂ network including particle size (<i>d</i>_p), coordination number (<i>N</i>_n), neck diameter (<i>d</i>_n), and effective surface area (<i>S</i>_e). The morphological analysis of the network revealed that the particle size and surface area would be factors exerting an impact on the charge transport properties, while the coordination number and neck diameter seemed to be consistent with the nanoparticle size. As a result, the electron transport along with the TiO₂ network was predominantly affected by the particle size in terms of the mean free path; the bigger particle size provides both long travel distance and less collision chance with the boundary. Surface area seems to exert a strong influence on the recombination when it is in contact with an electrolyte, suggesting that pore size distribution determining penetration of an electrolyte has to be considered in terms of the effective surface area (<i>S</i>_e). Due to the low transport resistance, high recombination resistance, and low chemical capacitance, the largest particle showed the longest diffusion length (<i>L</i>_n). However, the highest efficiency observed in 15 nm TiO₂ nanoparticle photoanode indicated that the compensating characteristics of the morphological factors of the network for light harvesting efficiency (LHE) (surface area) and charge collection efficiency (η_c, particle size) should be balanced in designing a nanostructured network for high performance DSCs

Influence of Cationic Precursors on CdS Quantum-Dot-Sensitized Solar Cell Prepared by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction

Successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) is the most extensively used method for the direct and simultaneous synthesis and deposition of quantum dots (QDs) onto porous oxide films for quantum-dot-sensitized solar cell (QDSC) applications. In this work, the noticeable influences of the cationic precursors on the deposition of CdS QDs and the QDSC performance have been studied. A careful comparison of two cationic precursors, cadmium nitrate and cadmium acetate, for the preparation of CdS QDSCs by the SILAR method showed that, compared to the commonly used cadmium nitrate, cadmium acetate provided a significantly higher deposition rate of CdS QDs on TiO₂ films. A solar cell power conversion efficiency of 2.15% was achieved for a CdS QDSC employing cadmium acetate as the cationic precursor, much higher than the value of 1.44% obtained for the cell prepared using cadmium nitrate for the same number of SILAR cycles. Control experiments in which the recipes of the cationic precursor solutions were changed revealed a dramatic effect of the cationic precursor pH on the deposition rate of CdS QDs on the TiO₂ film. In addition, an appreciable anomalous red shift, which became more pronounced with increasing amount of QDs, was observed in both the optical absorption and photocurrent spectra of CdS-sensitized TiO₂ films

Flotillin proteins recruit sphingosine to membranes and maintain cellular sphingosine-1-phosphate levels

<div><p>Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an important lipid signalling molecule. S1P is produced via intracellular phosphorylation of sphingosine (Sph). As a lipid with a single fatty alkyl chain, Sph may diffuse rapidly between cellular membranes and through the aqueous phase. Here, we show that the absence of microdomains generated by multimeric assemblies of flotillin proteins results in reduced S1P levels. Cellular phenotypes of flotillin knockout mice, including changes in histone acetylation and expression of Isg15, are recapitulated when S1P synthesis is perturbed. Flotillins bind to Sph <i>in vitro</i> and increase recruitment of Sph to membranes in cells. Ectopic re-localisation of flotillins within the cell causes concomitant redistribution of Sph. The data suggest that flotillins may directly or indirectly regulate cellular sphingolipid distribution and signalling.</p></div

<p>Tube voltage was 120–13 mA. CT revealed large areas of consolidation and air bronchogram, and the girl was diagnosed with adenovirus pneumonia. CT images displayed here were reconstructed with FBP (1-A), ASIR (1-B), and MBIR (1-C). The tube current of the presented layer was 13 mA, the window level was −700, and the window width was 1000. The MBIR image had the lowest noise in the three images, which displays the lung field and the region of the lesions clearly. Arrow shows the lesion is clearly displayed. Images were reconstructed with FBP (1-D), ASIR (1-E), and MBIR (1-F). The tube current of the presented layer was 13 mA, the window level was -450, and the window width was 1500. The MBIR image had the lowest noise among all three images.

Photoinduced Charge Transfer and Polaron Dynamics in Polymer and Hybrid Photovoltaic Thin Films: Organic vs Inorganic Acceptors

We use photoinduced absorption (PIA) spectroscopy to study charge generation and recombination in a series of bulk heterojunction blends relevant to organic and hybrid solar cells. We compare both organic and inorganic electron acceptors, including the fullerene, phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), oxides such as ZnO and TiO₂, and colloidal quantum dots, including CdSe and PbS nanocrystals. We use a variety of donor host polymers, including poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), poly[2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-<i>p</i>-phenylenevinylene] (MDMO-PPV), and poly(2,3-bis(2-hexyldecyl)quinoxaline-5,8-diyl-<i>alt</i>-<i>N</i>-(2-hexyldecyl)-dithieno[3,2-<i>b</i>:2′,3′-<i>d</i>]pyrrole) (PDTPQx-HD). In every case, we measure longer average carrier lifetimes in blends with the inorganic acceptors as compared to blends with PCBM. The PIA data also suggest that the internal electric fields are attenuated in the inorganic blends, consistent with increased screening between the photogenerated carriers due to the higher dielectric constants of the inorganic nanoparticles. Using ligand exchange experiments, we further demonstrate that surface electron trapping on the inorganic colloids contributes to at least part of the increased lifetime in the PDTPQx-HD/PbS blends and that ligand exchange to remove traps can be used to improve the performance of these polymer/low-band-gap quantum dot hybrid photovoltaics

The cerebellar architecture is affected in PLD2KO.

<p>A: Normally, the Purkinje cells (Pjc) form a monolayer sandwiched between the granular layer (Gr) and the molecular layer (Mol). In PLD2KO, ectopic Purkinje cells are also found either in the arbor vitae (arb, arrowhead) or clustered on the surface of the molecular layer (arrow). Scale bar = 100μm. B: PLD2KO mice have significantly more ectopic Purkinje cells than WT mice (p<0.005)</p
