Revealing Electrical-Poling-Induced Polarization Potential in Hybrid Perovskite Photodetectors

Despite recent rapid advances in metal halide perovskites for use in optoelectronics, the fundamental understanding of the electrical-poling-induced ion migration, accounting for many unusual attributes and thus performance in perovskite-based devices, remain comparatively elusive. Herein, the electrical-poling-promoted polarization potential is reported for rendering hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite photodetectors with high photocurrent and fast response time, displaying a tenfold enhancement in the photocurrent and a twofold decrease in the response time after an external electric field poling. First, a robust meniscus-assisted solution-printing strategy is employed to facilitate the oriented perovskite crystals over a large area. Subsequently, the electrical poling invokes the ion migration within perovskite crystals, thus inducing a polarization potential, as substantiated by the surface potential change assessed by Kelvin probe force microscopy. Such electrical-poling-induced polarization potential is responsible for the markedly enhanced photocurrent and largely shortened response time. This work presents new insights into the electrical-poling-triggered ion migration and, in turn, polarization potential as well as into the implication of the latter for optoelectronic devices with greater performance. As such, the utilization of ion-migration-produced polarization potential may represent an important endeavor toward a wide range of high-performance perovskite-based photodetectors, solar cells, transistors, scintillators, etc.

Household endotoxin reduction in the Louisa Environmental Intervention Project for rural childhood asthma

Endotoxin exacerbates asthma. We designed the Louisa Environmental Intervention Project (LEIP) and assessed its effectiveness in reducing household endotoxin and improving asthma symptoms in rural Iowa children. Asthmatic school children (N = 104 from 89 homes) of Louisa and Keokuk counties in Iowa (aged 5-14 years) were recruited and block-randomized to receive extensive (education + professional cleaning) or educational interventions. Environmental sampling collection and respiratory survey administration were done at baseline and during three follow-up visits. Mixed-model analyses were used to assess the effect of the intervention on endotoxin levels and asthma symptoms in the main analysis and of endotoxin reduction on asthma symptoms in exploratory analysis. In the extensive intervention group, dust endotoxin load was significantly reduced in post-intervention visits. The extensive compared with the educational intervention was associated with significantly decreased dust endotoxin load in farm homes and less frequent nighttime asthma symptoms. In exploratory analysis, dust endotoxin load reduction from baseline was associated with lower total asthma symptoms score (Odds ratio: 0.52, 95% confidence interval: 0.29-0.92). In conclusion, the LEIP intervention reduced household dust endotoxin and improved asthma symptoms. However, endotoxin reductions were not sustained post-intervention by residents.     

聚合氯化铝铁的制备、使用及混凝机制研究

以氯化铝和氯化铁为原料制备出一系列不同铝铁物质的量比及碱化度的无机高分子混凝剂——聚合氯化铝铁（PAFC）,并应用于地表水的混凝处理过程。考察PAFC的混凝效能及产生的絮体特性,进而对其使用条件进行优化并分析混凝机制。结果表明,PAFC为多羟基桥连的铝铁聚合物,水解后发生电中和作用使胶粒脱稳,而后通过羟桥和氧桥联接产生架桥和卷扫沉淀作用,混凝效果优异。PAFC的pH适用范围较宽,但铝铁物质的量比对其水解过程影响较大,在铝铁物质的量比为7:1、碱化度为0.5、投加量为10 mg/L时,絮体的粒度及生长速度最大,此时浊度和UV₂₅₄的去除率分别达84.93%和78.52%。此外,正交实验的结果表明水力条件对PAFC的混凝效能影响显著,其最佳使用条件为：快搅时间为20 s、快搅速度为200 r/min、慢搅时间为15 min、慢搅速度为40 r/min。     

画意真山与胜景无穷——北海镜清斋假山营造思路的再认识

进入更广泛的历史语境探讨清乾隆时期镜清斋假山的营造思路,追溯至晚明江南的两种假山营造来源.在整体构思上,承续了17世纪前期张南垣所创的追求画意真山的"天然"假山;而在局部营造中,则采纳了16世纪后期盛行的追求胜景无穷的"人巧"假山.除镜清斋之外,在稍晚的苏州环秀山庄假山中也有显著表达,是清代假山发展高峰的体现.清末和1970年代对该假山的两次改造,未能很好理解原初的思路取向,一定程度上损害了当初追求的山意.
