By conducting both a bottle test and isolate drop-drop experiments, we determine the coalescence rates of water droplets within water-in-oil emulsions stabilized by a large amount of Span 80 in the presence of Tween 20, a surfactant that acts as a demulsifier. Using a microscopic model based on a theory of hole nucleation, we establish an analytical formula that quantitatively predicts the coalescence frequency per unit area of droplets whose interfaces are fully covered by surfactant molecules. Despite its simplicity and the strong assumptions made for its derivation, this formula captures our experimental findings on Span 80-stabilized emulsions as well as other results, found in the literature, remarkably well on a wide range of water-in-crude oil systems.

Inserting metal ions into the porphyrin ring is one of the primary strategies to enhance the properties of porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, the straightforward, rapid, and energy-efficient synthesis of porphyrin-based MOFs with high metallization for the porphyrin ring remains challenging. Herein, a solution anode glow discharge (SAGD) microplasma is presented for the one-step synthesis of scandium-metalloporphyrin frameworks (ScMPFs).

Highly efficient single-layer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are demonstrated by using a pure Mg cathode that is seeded with a small amount of Ag nucleation sites. Bis(4-phenylthieno[3,2-]pyridinato-,C2')(acetylacetonate)iridium(III) (PO-01)-doped devices with three-, two-, and one-region doping configurations exhibit maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) values of 22.8%, 21.

The molecular orientation in the conjugated polymer film critically impacts the performance of organic electronic devices. As for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), the edge-on orientation is beneficial for efficient interchain charge transport. However, for the near amorphous indacenodithiophene--benzothiadiazole (IDTBT) film, the face-on orientation was dominated in the drop cast thin film.

Metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) and large-area perovskite color conversion layers for liquid crystal display exhibit great potential in the field of illumination and display. Blade-coating method stands out as a highly suitable technique for fabricating large-scale films, albeit with challenges such as uneven nucleation coverage and non-uniformity crystallization process. In this work, we developed an in-situ characterization measurement system to monitor the perovskite nucleation, and crystallization process.
