Thermocapillary (Marangoni) convection in a thin film on a plate oscillating with a frequency ranging from ultralow to high is considered. By adjusting the vibration amplitude, the impact of the vibration is kept non-negligible. Using the long-wave approximation framework, the amplitude equations are derived for each frequency interval, and linear and weakly nonlinear stability analyses are performed, supplemented by computations where necessary. In the case of a high vibration frequency, the surface tension effectively increases due to vibration, but the film still ruptures. When the frequency is ultralow, the vibration provides gravity modulation, and the surface deformation emerges subcritically, grows fast, and then decays, all during less than half of the vibration period. In the intermediate regime, the vibration either results in a short-wavelength instability or it does not affect the Marangoni convection.

Laboratory-scale spin-coating techniques are widely employed for fabricating small-size, high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. However, achieving large-area, high-uniformity perovskite films and thus high-efficiency solar cell devices remain challenging due to the complex fluid dynamics and drying behaviors of perovskite precursor solutions during large-area fabrication processes. In this work, a high-quality, pinhole-free, large-area FAPbI perovskite film is successfully obtained via scalable blade-coating technology, assisted by a novel bidirectional Marangoni convection strategy.

Exploring buoyancy-driven effects in chemo-hydrodynamic oscillations sustained by bimolecular reactions.

Exotic dynamics, previously associated only with reactions involving complex kinetics, have been observed even with simple bimolecular reactions A + B → C, when coupled with hydrodynamical flows. Numerical studies in two-dimensional reactors have shown that oscillatory dynamics can emerge from an antagonistic coupling between chemically-driven buoyancy and Marangoni convective flows, induced by changes in density and surface tension, respectively, as the reaction occurs. Here, we investigate reactions increasing both surface tension and density, leading to a cooperative coupling between the flows and show how, in this configuration, buoyancy-driven contribution dampens spatio-temporal oscillations of concentration.

Laser-induced crystallization through optical trapping offers precise and spatiotemporal control of crystallization kinetics at the microscale region. Here, we demonstrate the optical trapping-induced crystallization of various amino acids, including glycine, l-cysteine, and l-alanine, by focusing a 532 nm continuous-wave laser in amino acid/HO solution. The coordinated effect of optical forces and heat-driven molecular delivery improves the local molecular concentration, leading to nucleation and subsequent crystal growth.
