A power conversion efficiency of 10.4% is demonstrated in planar CH3 NH3 PbBr3 hybrid solar cells without hysteresis of the J-V curve, by way of controlled crystallization in the spin-coating process. The high efficiency is attributed to the formation of a dense CH3 NH3 PbBr3 thin film by the introduction of HBr solution because the HBr increases the solubility of the CH3 NH3 PbBr3 and forms a thinner CH3 NH3 PbBr3 layer with full surface coverage.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are useful for building gas sensors owing to their desirable electronic and optical properties. However, they usually suffer from selectivity, because they cannot discriminate between gas molecules. Functionalization with organic molecules can be used to tailor their surfaces to recognize a specific family of compounds.

The formation of soot and NOx in ammonia/ethylene flames with varying ammonia ratios was investigated through experimental and numerical analysis. The spatial distribution of the soot volume fraction and NOx concentrations along the flame central line were measured, and the mechanism of soot and NOx formation during ammonia/ethylene co-combustion was analyzed using CHEMKIN 17.0.

Typical layered 2D APbX (A: organic ammonium cation, X: Br, I) perovskites undergo irreversible decomposition at high temperatures. Can they be designed to melt at lower temperatures without decomposition? Which thermodynamic parameter drive the melting of layered perovskites? These questions are addressed by considering the melt of APbX as a mixture of ions (like ionic liquids), and hypothesized that the increase in the structural entropy of fusion (ΔS) will be the driving force to decrease their melting temperature. Then to increase structural ΔS, A-site cations are designed that are rigid in the solid crystal, and become flexible in the molten state.

Green ammonia has become an increasingly popular fuel in recent years because of its combustion process without carbon oxide release. Adding ammonia to methane fuel for co-combustion has become one of the important research topics in the current combustion field. In the present study, the CH/NH/Air counterflow diffusion flame was taken as the research object, and Chemkin-2019 R3 software was used to explore and analyze the flame extinction limit and chemical kinetics characteristics under different ammonia mixing ratios, initial pressures, and air preheating temperatures.

Computational Studies of Nucleophilic Substitution at Nitrogen Center: Reactions of NHCl with HO, CHO and CHO.

The atomic-level mechanisms of the nucleophilic substitution reactions at the nitrogen center (S2@N) were investigated for the reactions of chloramine (NHCl) with the alkoxide ions (RO, where R=H, CH, and CH) using DFT and MP2 methods. The computed potential energy profiles for the S2@N pathways involving the back-side attack of the nucleophiles show the typical double-well potential with submerged barriers similar to the S2 reactions at the carbon center (S2@C). However, the pre-reaction and post-reaction complexes are, respectively, the N-H⋅⋅⋅O and N-H⋅⋅⋅Cl hydrogen-bonded intermediates, which are different from those generally seen in S2@C reactions.
