The rational molecular design of fullerene-based molecules with exceptional physical and electrical properties is in high demand to ensure efficient charge transport at the perovskite/electron layer interface. In this work, novel azahomofullerene (AHF) designed, synthesized, introduced as interlayer between SnO2/perovskite interface planar n–i–p heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PSCs). AHF molecule (denoted AHF-4) proven enhance transfer capability compared commonly used fullerene...
Abstract Bacteriophage infections in bacterial cultures pose a significant challenge to industrial bioprocesses, necessitating the development of innovative antiphage solutions. This study explores potential indigo carmine (IC), common FDA-approved food additive. IC demonstrated selective inactivation DNA phages (P001, T4, T1, T7, λ) with EC 50 values ranging from 0.105 0.006 mg/mL while showing no activity against RNA phage MS2. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) revealed that...
Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is an extensively used electron transporting layer (ETL) in n–i–p perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Although, TiO ETL experiences the high surface defect together with low extraction ability, which causes severe energy loss and poor stability PSC. In this study, a new intermediate consisting of gold nanoparticles functionalized fully conjugated fullerene C 60 derivative (C ‐BCT@Au NPs) that enhances interfacial contact at ETL/perovskite interface leading to...
In search of new cytotoxic derivatives based on the lupane scaffold, seco-lupane azides were coupled with a number alkynes under 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) conditions to afford 1,2,3-triazoles. Phenylalkynes having different substituents at para position used as starting materials. Similarly, coupling thiocyanate sodium azide gave 5-thiotetrazole. The cytotoxicity thirteen investigated, well effect in phenyl ring activity Limited was observed for some these products. Most studied...
Abstract The objective of this study is to explore the effects microplastics on viability bacteriophages in an aqueous environment. Bacteriophages (phages), that is, viruses bacteria, are essential homeostasis. It estimated phages cause up 40% death all bacteria daily. Any factor affecting phage activity vital for whole food chain and ecology numerous niches. We hypothesize number active decreases due virions’ adsorption microplastic particles or by released leachables from additives used...
Fullerene derivatives with a strong electron-accepting ability play crucial role in enhancing both the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, most used fullerene molecules are based on [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), which limits device due to difficulties preparing high-quality uniform thin films. Herein, solution-processable azahomofullerene (AHF) (abbreviated as AHF-1 AHF-2) reported novel effective electron-transport layers (ETLs) p–i–n...
Congo red dye protects bacteriophages from the adverse effects of UV radiation, allowing for simultaneous membrane surface cleaning biofoundries.
ABSTRACT In recent years, transductors of chiral information based on conducting polymers have gained considerable attention. particular, inherently materials, which allow differentiation between the antipodes a analyte in terms energetic variations, are highly desired. this work, we successfully synthesized novel oligomer an indole–benzothiophene core, namely, 2‐([2,2′‐bithiophen]‐5‐yl)‐3‐(2‐([2,2′‐bithiophen]‐5‐yl)benzo[ b ]thiophen‐3‐yl)‐ N ‐methylindole (BTIndT 4 ). The electrochemical...
Abstract The study's main objective is to limit bacterial biofilm formation on fixed orthodontic appliances. Bacterial such devices (e.g., brackets) causes enamel demineralization, referred as white spot lesions (WSL). WSL significant health, social and economic problem. We provide a nanotechnology‐based solution utilizing nanocomposite of gold nanoparticles embedded in polyoxoborate matrix (BOA: B—boron, O—oxygen, A—gold, Latin aurum ). fully inorganic, the coating protocol straightforward,...
We report a highly electron-absorbing material ("electron-sponge") obtained by coupling gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, 8 nm in diameter) with fullerene C60 spheres fully conjugated linker molecules. This goal has been achieved through synthesis of new class conducting thionoester-substituted and thioketone-substituted azahomo-[60]fullerenes. The derivatives have found to possess the capability binding covalently surface gold. Thus, for first time, we show that thioketone thionoester moieties can...
