Article Abstract

Despite intriguing optoelectronic attributes in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photocatalysis, the instability of organic-inorganic perovskites poises a grand challenge for long-term applications. Herein, we report a simple yet robust strategy via light-and-solution treatment to create an organic membrane that effectively passivates CHNHPbI (MAPbI). Specifically, the restructuring of MA is observed on MAPbI in aqueous hydrogen iodide. HIO molecules are generated via the reaction between water and I induced by photocatalysis when MAPbI is illuminated. The hydrogen bonding between HIO molecules at different perovskite particles not only directs the creeplike growth of perovskite particles but also in situ forms a passivating layer firmly anchoring on the perovskite surface with hydrophilic -NH groups tethering to perovskites and hydrophobic -CH moieties exposed to air. Intriguingly, such MA film greatly improves the stability of perovskites against moisture as well as their crystal quality, considerably enhancing the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate.

Cationic porous organic polymers have a unique advantage in removing radioactive iodine from the aqueous phase because iodine molecules exist mainly in the form of iodine-containing anions. However, halogen anions will inevitably be released into water during the ion-exchange process. Herein, we reported a novel and easy-to-construct zwitterionic hypercrosslinked polymer (7AIn-PiP)-containing cationic pyridinium-type group, uncharged pyridine-type group, pyrrole-type group, and even an electron-rich phenyl group, which in synergy effectively removed 94.

Background And Aims: We previously identified small molecules predicted to reverse an ileal gene signature for future Crohn's Disease (CD) strictures. Here we used a new human intestinal organoid (HIO) model system containing macrophages to test a lead candidate, eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA).

Methods: Induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSC) were derived from CD patients and differentiated into macrophages and HIOs.

Organic-inorganic hybrid nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are highly anticipated because of the integration of both merits of the organic and inorganic moieties. Herein, the 2-pyrimidinone cation (CHNO) has been incorporated into the iodate system to form two polymorphic organic-inorganic hybrid iodates, namely, α- and β-(CHNO)(IO)·HIO. They crystallize in different polar space groups ( and 2), and their structures feature one-dimensional (1D) chain structures composed of (CHNO) cations, IO anions, and HIO molecules interconnected via hydrogen bonds.

Iodine, as a typical haloid element in group VIIA, has been extensively applied as antiseptics clinically, thanks to its effective and wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Nevertheless, current iodic sterilizing agents are still limited to topical applications such as instrument sterilization and treatments of skin or mucous membrane infection due to its unsatisfactory stability and biocompatibility. Here, we propose an emerging two-dimensional iodine nanomaterial (noted as iodinene) for the treatment of infection diseases .
