High temperatures facilitate the formation of stable, high-crystallinity α-FAPbI films but can lead to the volatilization of organic components in perovskites. Here, a 300 °C hot-press-assisted recrystallization strategy is reported to grow stable phase-pure α-FAPbI film without any dopants. High temperature can promote the transformation of δ-FAPbI to α-FAPbI, and induces recrystallization to relieve strain. The applied pressure creates a confined space that effectively prevents the volatilization of organic components in perovskite. The α-FAPbI film prepared by hot-press at 300 °C achieves an average grain size of ≈3 µm (with grains up to 10 µm) and demonstrates excellent damp-heat stability, showing no significant change after 20 s in deionized water. The result solar cell delivers a power conversion efficiency as high as 24.06% and retains >70% of their initial efficiency value after 1000 h at 85 °C and 85% relative humidity.

Liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) is a powerful technique for investigating crystallisation dynamics with nanometre spatial resolution. However, probing phenomena occurring in liquids while mixing two precursor solutions has proven extremely challenging, requiring sophisticated liquid cell designs. Here, we demonstrate that introducing and withdrawing solvents in sequence makes it possible to maintain optimal imaging conditions while mixing liquids in a commercial liquid cell.

Sensitive, rapid and label-free biochemical sensors are needed for many applications. In this protocol, we describe biochemical detection using FLOWER (frequency locked optical whispering evanescent resonator)-a technique that we have used to detect single protein molecules in aqueous solution as well as exosomes, ribosomes and low part-per-trillion concentrations of volatile organic compounds. Whispering gallery mode microtoroid resonators confine light for extended time periods (hundreds of nanoseconds).

Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) has been linked with numerous respiratory diseases. Recently, lung microbiome is proposed to be characterized with development and progression of respiratory diseases. However, the underlying effects of TRAP exposure on lung microbiome are rarely explored.

Background: Impaired oxidation of branched chain amino acids may give rise to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We hypothesized that VOCs will be present in exhaled breath of participants with propionic acidemia (PA), and their relative abundance would correlate with clinical and biochemical characteristics of the disease.
Methods: We enrolled 5 affected participants from a natural history study of PA (ClinicalTrials.

Owing to the massive refractory lignocellulose and leachate-organic loads, the stabilization of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill is often prolonged, resulting in environmental burdens. Herein, various assembled multifunctional microbial inoculums (MMIs) were introduced into the semi-aerobic bioreactor landfill (SABL) to investigate the bioaugmentation impacts. Compared to control (CK) and other MMIs treatments (G1-G3), LD + LT + DM inoculation (G4) significantly increased volatile solids degradation (9.
