Photo-activated implants: a triple-blinded, split-mouth, randomized controlled clinical trial on the resistance to removal torque at various healing intervals
摘要： Objectives Hydrophilic implant surfaces promote faster osseointegration of dental implants with a higher bone-implant contact (BIC) rate. Animal and in vitro studies proved that ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of titanium implants regains hydrophilicity. Clinical impact is still unclear. The objective of this RCT was to assess the removal torque (RT) required to unfix a surface-treated implant (test group) versus the original surface implant (control group) performed at various points in time. The null hypothesis stated that test and control implants will show the same deliberation force at specific time points. Material and methods One hundred eighty partially edentulous patients were randomly assigned to six groups. In single-stage surgery, each patient received one test and one control implant. In total, 180 test and 180 control implants were placed epicrestally. Test implants received a surface treatment with UV irradiation prior to insertion, in order to reduce carbon and enhance hydrophilicity and thus wettability. Maximum RT values for test and control implants were recorded with a torque measuring device at implant placement (T1), after 1 (group 1), 2 (group 2), 3 (group 3), 4 (group 4), 6 (group 5) (T2), and 8 weeks (group 6) of healing. Subsequently, implants were returned to their original position for the continuation of the healing process. Results No implant was lost. Age, gender, smoking, implant position, and bone quality could be excluded as confounding factors because of the lack of statistical significance. At T2, RT values were higher for test implants compared with those for control implants, being statistically significant in groups 2, 3, 4, and 6 (p < 0.05). Conclusions Our data support rejection of the null hypothesis. Clinical relevance Photo-activation of the surface of titanium implants leads to higher resistance to RT forces compared with that of non-treated implants, indicating improved healing and implant stability especially in the early healing phase.

Fabrication of bonded LNOI waveguide structure on Si substrate using ultra-precision cutting
摘要： Heterogeneous integration of a LNOI waveguide device on a mature Si platform is interesting for creating future high density and multi-functional platform. This paper reports the fabrication of bent LNOI waveguide on Si substrate using surface activated bonding with Si nanoadhesive layer and post-bond ultra-precision cutting at room temperature. This bonding method demonstrates the sufficient bond strength between LN wafer and thermally grown SiO2 to withstand ductile-mode cutting for waveguide fabrication. In this work, the width, height, and bent radius of the ridged LNOI waveguide on Si substrate were approximately 5, 2.5, and 300 μm, respectively. These room-temperature bonding and cutting methods are expected to fabricate various heterogenous devices with large coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between dissimilar materials, not just LNOI/Si waveguide devices.

Exciplex-forming derivatives of 2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylacridine and benzotrifluoride for efficient OLEDs
摘要： Strongly medium dependent capability to exhibit not only prompt/delayed thermally-activated fluorescence but also aggregation-induced phosphorescence or exciplex emission is demonstrated either for solutions or for solid samples of acridan-based luminophores. Multicolour emissions of different nature were detected and studied for donor-acceptor derivatives of 2- or 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene and 2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylacridine containing trifluoromethyl groups in ortho and para positions. For the demonstration of one of possible applications, both compounds were tested in the emissive layers of exciplex-based OLEDs. In the best case, their high maximum current, power and external quantum efficiences of 29.5 cd/A, 29.1 lm/W and 8.2 % respectively were achieved for the device based on exciplex electroluminescence resulting from recombination of intermolecular charge transfer states formed on the interface of electron-donating and electron-accepting molecules used.

Highly efficient TADF OLEDs with low efficiency roll-off based on novel acridine–carbazole hybrid donor-substituted pyrimidine derivatives
摘要： Dimethyl acridine (Ac) and carbazole (Cz) donors are fused to produce acridine–carbazole hybrid donors, 12AcCz (8,8-dimethyl-5-phenyl-8,13-dihydro-5H-indolo[2,3-c]acridine) and 23AcCz (13,13-dimethyl-7-phenyl-7,13-dihydro-5H-indolo[3,2-b]acridine). By combining TPPM (2,4,6-triphenylpyrimidine) acceptor with the Ac–Cz-fused donors of 12AcCz and 23AcCz, two emitters, 12AcCz-PM (13-(4-(2,6-diphenylpyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)-8,8-dimethyl-5-phenyl-8,13-dihydro-5H-indolo[2,3-c]acridine) and 23AcCz-PM (5-(4-(2,6-diphenylpyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)-13,13-dimethyl-7-phenyl-7,13-dihydro-5H-indolo[3,2-b]acridine), are designed and synthesized. The impact of the different fused topologies of the hybrid donors on molecular configuration, photophysical and optoelectrical characters are systematically investigated. For 12AcCz-PM, the large steric hindrance between donor and acceptor compels Ac of 12AcCz to be crooked, which endows it with the relatively planar quasi-axial conformation. No blatant TADF character is observed, but the 12AcCz-PM doped device still presents the ultradeep blue emission with CIEx, y of (0.15, 0.05) and maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 6.4%. Whereas, 23AcCz-PM shows quasi-equatorial conformation and possesses notable TADF behavior. The 23AcCz-PM doped device reachs the EQEmax of 28.4% at low dopant concentration and 26.1% at high dopant concentration. Additionally, low efficiency roll-off (EQEs of 24.8% at 1000 cd m-2 and 20.7% at 5000 cd m-2) further confirms its superiorities as a TADF emitter.

Enhanced upconversion luminescence in controllable self-assembled BiOBr: Yb3+/Er3+ 3D hierarchical architectures and their application in NIR photocatalysis
摘要： In this work, self-assembled Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped BiOBr 3D flower-like hierarchical architectures (HAs) were synthesized via hydrothermal method. With increasing pH values, the thickness of samples became thinner, and the morphology transforms from 2D nanosheets to self-assembled 3D HAs. Under the excitation of 980 nm, 3D flower-like BiOBr: Yb3+/Er3+ HAs showed a significant enhancement the upconversion (UC) emission, which was about 505 times than that of the 2D nanosheets. The mechanisms for the enhancement of UC emission have been discussed. Moreover, all the samples showed effective photocatalytic activity for the RhB degradation and obviously enhanced performance with increasing pH values under NIR and simulated solar light irradiation, due to the internal electric field effects and efficient utilization of UC emissions. This work gives insight to the guidance of fabricating efficient self-assembled 3D flower-like BiOBr: Yb3+/Er3+ HAs UC materials, which have great potential for the applications in NIR-activated photocatalysts.

Understanding Solid-State Solvation-Enhanced Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Using a Descriptor-Tuned Screened Range-Separated Functional
摘要： An efficient computational protocol suitable for both solutions and solid films can accelerate the development of efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters aimed at practical application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). By employing the localized orbital locator (LOL), we establish an efficient descriptor-tuning methodology for the range-separated (RS) and screened range-separated (SRS) functionals with only one single-point calculation. This scheme provides good predictions for 28 charge transfer (CT)-type TADF emitters. Moreover, in comparison to the experimental data, the scheme presents a mean absolute deviation of 0.09 eV for the absorption energies of the lowest excited singlet state (EVA(S1)) in polarizable continuum model (PCM) solution and 0.10 eV for the energy difference between the lowest excited singlet and triplet states (ΔEST) under static solid-state polarization. Importantly, our results indicate that a significantly polarized S1 is key to realizing the so-called solid-state solvation-enhanced (SSSE)-TADF, which is well captured through the screened RS functionals combined with LOL-tuning (SLOL-tuning). Compared with standard ionization potential (IP)-tuning, our scheme significantly reduces the computational cost of the prediction of singlet- and triplet-transition energies for CT molecules. It also provides a reliable approach to evaluate the practical TADF character influenced by solid-state solvation in amorphous organic thin films.

Degradation of acetaminophen in aqueous solution by UV and UV-activated sludge processes
摘要： Acetaminophen (N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, APAP) is one of the most common antipyretic analgesics used to treat common ailments throughout the world. Recently, APAP has been frequently detected in wastewater effluent and groundwater, resulting in potential risks to the environment. Current methods for eliminating APAP are complicated and cost-prohibitive. This study examined APAP degradation by ultraviolet-C (UV-C) and UV-C irradiation combined with activated sludge (UV/AS) to evaluate potential applications in wastewater treatment. The results of this study indicate that UV-C irradiation reached an APAP degradation efficiency of more than 52% and a degradation rate of 0.0012–0.0013 min?1 during 720 min of exposure, while the initial APAP concentration exhibited only a nominal effect on the degradation rate. However, the UV/AS treatment demonstrated an APAP degradation rate that was 9.6 times the rate of the UV-C-only treatment, with a degradation efficiency of 99% over the same UV irradiation period. The results further indicated that APAP photolysis efficiency was more effective when applied to sterilized AS than when applied to unsterilized AS. Finally, excessive dosage of both AS and humic acid inhibited APAP photolysis efficiency.

Stability of diamond/Si bonding interface during device fabrication process
摘要： Diamond/Si bonding interface with an entire contact area and high thermal stability is achieved by surface activated bonding method. The fabrication of diamond field-effect transistors (FETs) on the diamond bonded to Si is demonstrated. The FET exhibits clear saturation and pinch-off characteristics. A 5 nm thick SixCx-1 layer was formed at the interface with annealing at 1000 °C. The layer was formed by the inter-diffusion of carbon and Si atoms near the bonding interface, which plays a role of residual stress relaxation between diamond and Si. These results suggest that diamond/Si heterostructures are applicable for combining diamond devices with Si LSI.

High-triplet-level phthalimide based acceptors for exciplexes with multicolor emission
摘要： To provide high exciton utilization in organic light emitting diodes, phthalimide derivatives were designed and synthesized as exciplex-forming materials. Due to high triplet levels (2.92-3.11 eV) and ionization potentials (7.18-7.29 eV), the developed phthalimide derivatives were found to be not only appropriate accepting materials for the formation of different color exciplexes but also as bifunctional materials with a satisfactory hole and exciton-blocking abilities. Solid-state blends of the synthesized phthalimides as acceptors and a carbazole containing donors showed exciplex emission. Bimolecular blends exhibited multicolor exciplex emission which covered a visible spectrum from sky-blue to red colors, depending on the donor used. However, the photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of the studied exciplex-forming systems were found to be sensitive to the molecular design of the phthalimides. Acceptor with para- substituted phthalimide showed better exciplex-forming properties in comparison to other compounds. Exciplex-forming blend of (2-(4-benzoylphenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione) as an acceptor and 1,3-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene (mCP) as a donor showed the most efficient sky-blue emission with small singlet-triplet splitting (0.06±0.03eV). Such exciplex-forming molecular mixture was implemented as the light-emitting material in the sky-blue organic light emitting diodes which showed the brightness of 2500 cd m-2 and maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.9 % due to the employment of both singlet and triplet excitons.

UV-light-activated H2S gas sensing by a TiO2 nanoparticulate thin film at room temperature
摘要： A UV-light-activated TiO2 thin film gas sensor composed of nanoparticles is reported for H2S detection at room temperature. TiO2 nanoparticulate thin films were fabricated by bar coating of a mixture of TiO2 powder and acetic acid. The morphology and structural properties of the films were examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and absorption spectroscopy. The nil response to H2S was significantly enhanced by UV light irradiation in the response levels and response/recovery kinetics. The effect of the sensor conductance and light intensity towards sensor optimization was discussed. The sensor exhibited high gas selectivity, repeatability, and linearity for practical applications of the sensor, but the interference of humidity on the sensing process needs to be solved. The results exhibited a simple way to detect parts per million concentrations of H2S at room temperature.
