Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) have emerged as one of the most efficient photovoltaic materials due to their superior properties. However, improving their stability remains a key challenge. Herein, we investigate the thermal decomposition properties of OIHP FAMAPbI with mixed cations of formamidinium (FA) and methylammonium (MA). Using thermogravimetric analysis together with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, we identify and monitor the gaseous decomposition products as a function of temperature and cation composition. Thermal decomposition products of both MA and FA cations were observed at all stages of the thermal decomposition process, contrary to previous expectations. The yield, release sequence and kinetics of the organic gaseous products were found to depend strongly on the ratio between FA and MA cations. Furthermore, cesium ion doping was investigated as a potential strategy to improve the thermal stability of mixed cation perovskites. These results provide new insights into the effect of cation mixing on perovskite stability, suggesting that optimizing the cation ratios and decomposition pathways can guide approaches to boost the stability and performance of mixed cation perovskites.

Multiacting receptor-targeting antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants stimulate various neurotransmitter receptors despite the different targets of postsynaptic receptors and presynaptic reuptake transporters. Their auxiliary and adverse effects may be caused by multiple targets or the modification of the neuronal membrane. To evaluate the membrane responses to olanzapine, imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, lidocaine, and dibucaine, we examined the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in egg yolk phosphatidylcholine liposomes.

Atomically precise clusters such as [Pt(CO)(PPh)] ( = 1,2) (PPh is triphenylphosphine) are known as precursors for making oxidation catalysts. However, the changes occurring to the cluster upon thermal activation during the formation of the active catalyst are poorly understood. We have used a combination of hybrid mass spectrometry and surface science to map the thermal decomposition of [Pt(CO)(PPh)](NO).

Cocombustion with biomass tar is a potential method for NO reduction during fossil fuel combustion. In this work, the molecular dynamic method based on the reactive force field was used to study the NO reduction by phenol, which is a typical tar model compound. Results indicate that phenol undergoes significant decomposition at 3000 K, resulting in the formation of small molecular fragments accompanied by the generation of large molecular, network-structured soot particles.

This study explores the formulation and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based composite hydrogels synthesized through solid-state crosslinking. Comprehensive assessments were conducted on their physicochemical properties, leachables, and immunogenicity. Swelling experiments demonstrated that the incorporation of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) enhanced water retention, while chitosan had a minimal effect on swelling behavior.
