Perovskite-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have obtained wide attention and investigation due to their excellent dielectric electrical properties, as well the diversity of perovskite materials. In this work, phenethyl ammonium iodide (PEAI) was applied tailor interface MAPbI 3 films, form a 2D/3D heterojunction, passivate defects films. The TENGs after PEAI passivation achieved signi...

Slowing the degradation of perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) is substantial interest. We engineered surface by introducing a hydrophobic overlayer on three-dimensional (3D) perovskite using fluorinated or nonfluorinated aryl ammonium cation spacers. The placement fluoroarene allows formation bilayer structure, that is, layered/3D perovskites. By doing so, character increases notably virtue pe...

The release of radioactive iodine (i.e., iodine-129 and iodine-131) from nuclear reprocessing facilities is a potential threat to human health. The fate and transport of iodine are determined primarily by its redox status, but processes that affect iodine oxidation states in the environment are poorly characterized. Given the difficulty in removing electrons from iodide (I(-)), naturally occurr...

The cholinergic innervation of the compact and reticular parts of the substantia nigra in the rat was investigated by use of highly sensitive retrograde and anterograde tract-tracing methods in combination with choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry. The fluorescent tracers True Blue, propidium iodide, or fluorogold were infused preferentially into either nigral subnucleus. Cells positi...

Perchlorate competitively blocks iodide from entering the thyroid by an effect on the Na+/I- symporter thus preventing the further synthesis of thyroid hormone but has no effect on the iodination process itself. It is concentrated by thyroid tissue in a manner similar to iodide but is not significantly metabolized in the gland or peripherally. What is not settled is whether there are additional...

The aquatic ecotoxicity of chemicals involved in the manufacturing process of thin film transistor liquid crystal displays was assessed with a battery of four selected acute toxicity bioassays. We focused on tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH, CAS No. 75-59-2), a widely utilized etchant. The toxicity of TMAH was low when tested in the 72 h-algal growth inhibition test (Pseudokirchneriellia sub...
