Highly Efficient Organic/Silicon Hybrid Solar Cells with a MoO Capping Layer.

Organic/Si hybrid solar cells have attracted considerable attention for their uncomplicated fabrication process and superior device efficiency, making them a promising candidate for sustainable energy applications. However, the efficient collection and separation of charge carriers at the organic/Si heterojunction interface are primarily hindered by the inadequate work function of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). Here, the application of a high-work-function MoO film onto the n-Si/PEDOT:PSS surface leads to a notable enhancement in the device's built-in potential.

Resonance-Assisted Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Amplification on Hierarchical Rose-Shaped MoS/Au Nanocomposites.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a highly sensitive trace detection technique in recent decades, yet its exceptional performance remains elusive in semiconductor materials due to the intricate and ambiguous nature of the SERS mechanism. Herein, we have synthesized MoS nanoflowers (NFs) decorated with Au nanoparticles (NPs) by hydrothermal and redox methods to explore the size-dependence SERS effect. This strategy enhances the interactions between the substrate and molecules, resulting in exceptional uniformity and reproducibility.

Prevention of the social isolation of older persons: the impact of community environmental satisfaction on social isolation.

Background: To explore how to prevent the social isolation of the older adult, this study constructed a model of the influence of community environmental satisfaction on the social isolation of the older adult from the three dimensions of environmental facilities, transportation, and supporting facilities around the community. Methods: The social network scale and environmental satisfaction scale were used to collect the sample data of nine communities in Xi'an, and the maximum likelihood estimation method was used to analyze the data and test the model.

Results: (1) Environmental facilities, transportation, and community surrounding facilities promoted community environment satisfaction ( = 0.

Pure Graphene Oxide Vertical p-n Junction with Remarkable Rectification Effect.

Graphene p-n junctions have important applications in the fields of optical interconnection and low-power integrated circuits. Most current research is based on the lateral p-n junction prepared by chemical doping and other methods. Here, we report a new type of pure graphene oxide (pGO) vertical p-n junctions which do not dope any other elements but only controls the oxygen content of GO.

Growth of wrinkle-free and ultra-flat Bi-layer graphene on sapphire substrate using Cu sacrificial layer.

The transfer process of chemical vapor deposition graphene film leads to unavoidable crack, wrinkles, doping, and contamination, which limits its function to establish stable and high-performance devices. It raises a growing interest to fabricate high-quality graphene on the target substrate directly. Here, bi-layer graphene (BLG) film can be grown on sapphire substrate by a Cu sacrificial layer using atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition.

TheraSling Therapy (TST) Combined with Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique on Hemiplegic Gait in Patients with Stroke.

BACKGROUND TheraSling therapy (TST) is a kind of rehabilitation therapy for patients with stroke in order to improving neural function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of TST combined with neuromuscular facilitation technique on hemiplegic gait in patients with stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-six patients with abnormal gait after stroke were recruited for this study and assigned randomly to either the control group (n=28) or the TST experiment group (n=28).

Efficacy of Danhong Injection on Serum Concentration of TNF-α, IL-6 and NF-κB in Rats with Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of Danhong injection on the serum concentration of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B (NF-κB) in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and evaluate its therapeutic effects on inflammation and cerebral edema.

Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model and Danhong groups with 25 rats in each group. Intracerebral injection of autologous arterial blood was performed on model and Danhong groups in order to establish intracerebral hemorrhage model.
