[Methods in Molecular Biology] Immunological Tolerance Volume 1899 (Methods and Protocols) || Isolation of Human Regulatory T Lymphocytes by Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting
摘要： Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a population of lymphocytes that exerts suppressive effects upon the immune system. In human peripheral blood, the major population of T lymphocytes with suppressive capacity are defined by expression of the T cell co-receptor CD4 and the interleukin-2 receptor α-chain (CD25), combined with minimal expression of the interleukin-7 receptor α subunit (CD127). We begin by outlining the method for isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from human blood by centrifugation of whole blood overlayed on a hydrophilic polysaccharide, with an additional erythrocyte lysis step. The protocol that follows utilizes Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) for the isolation of this CD4+CD25+CD127lo population of regulatory T cells, with high yield and purity, from immunostained PBMCs. Prior to FACS isolation, this protocol exploits magnetic immunoselection for pre-enrichment of CD25+ PBMC, which reduces the duration of the subsequent FACS isolation.

Potassium channel-based optogenetic silencing
摘要： Optogenetics enables manipulation of biological processes with light at high spatio-temporal resolution to control the behavior of cells, networks, or even whole animals. In contrast to the performance of excitatory rhodopsins, the effectiveness of inhibitory optogenetic tools is still insufficient. Here we report a two-component optical silencer system comprising photo-activated adenylyl cyclases (PACs) and the small cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channel SthK. Activation of this ‘PAC-K’ silencer by brief pulses of low-intensity blue light causes robust and reversible silencing of cardiomyocyte excitation and neuronal firing. In vivo expression of PAC-K in mouse and zebrafish neurons is well tolerated, where blue light inhibits neuronal activity and blocks motor responses. In combination with red-light absorbing channelrhodopsins, the distinct action spectra of PACs allow independent bimodal control of neuronal activity. PAC-K represents a reliable optogenetic silencer with intrinsic amplification for sustained potassium-mediated hyperpolarization, conferring high operational light sensitivity to the cells of interest.

Simple molecular-engineering approach for enhancing orientation and out-coupling efficiency of thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters without red-shifting emission
摘要： The inclusion of a tetraphenylbenzene (4Ph) unit in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters is demonstrated as a novel strategy for greatly enhancing the horizontally oriented alignment of the emitters without shifting the emission spectrum to longer wavelengths. Doping of blue-emitting 4PhOXDDMAC or greenish-blue-emitting 4PhOXDPXZ into o-DiCbzBz host layers yielded much higher degrees of horizontally oriented alignment for the emitter (up to 92%) compared to when the 4Ph unit was excluded (69% and 75%, respectively). The enhanced alignment results in high out-coupling efficiencies of 24% and 35% in organic light-emitting diodes based on 4PhOXDDMAC and 4PhOXDPXZ, respectively, and boosts the external quantum efficiencies to values (8.8% and 29.2%, respectively) that are higher than would be expected for randomly oriented emitters (out-coupling efficiency of 20%). These enhancements are achieved while avoiding the red-shift that often occurs using the common strategy of increasing molecular length, and, thereby, conjugation, to increase orientation.

Improving performance of thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter by extending its LUMO distribution; 通过扩展LUMO分布提高热激活延迟荧光材料的性能;
摘要： An optimized compound 9-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)-6H-benzo[c]ch-romen-6-one (MAB) was designed and synthesized based on our previously reported TADF emitter 6-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)-3-methyl-1H-isochromen-1-one (MAC) to further improve the performance of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. With the additional phenyl in coumarin-contained plane, MAB possesses an extended distribution of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO), and thus realizes reduced electron exchange between the frontier molecular orbitals and a stretched molecular dipole moment compared with MAC. MAB based organic light-emitting diode (OLED) exhibits a remarkable maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 21.7%, which is much better than the maximum EQE of MAC-based OLED with a value of 12.8%. Our work proves that extending the distribution of LUMO is a simple but effective method to improve the efficiency of TADF emitter.

<i>(Invited)</i> Proximity Gettering Design of Hydrocarbon Molecular Ion Implanted Silicon Wafers Using Direct Bonding Technique for Advanced CMOS Image Sensors: A Review
摘要： We developed high gettering capability silicon wafers for advanced CMOS image sensors using hydrocarbon molecular ion implantation and surface activated direct wafer bonding (SAB). We found that this novel wafer has three unique characteristics for the improvement of CMOS image sensor device performance. The first is metallic impurity gettering capability in the hydrocarbon ion implantation projection range during CMOS device fabrication. The second is the oxygen out-diffusion barrier effect; this wafer can control out-diffusion to the device active region from the CZ grown silicon substrate during CMOS device heat treatment. The third is the hydrogen passivation effect; hydrogen passivates to the Si/SiO2 gate oxide interface state defects which out-diffuse to the device active region from the hydrocarbon ion implantation projection range during the CMOS device fabrication. Moreover, we demonstrated that this novel wafer can improve the pn-junction leakage current under the actual device fabrication.

Trap-Controlled White Electroluminescence From a Single Red-Emitting Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Polymer
摘要： Single white-emitting polymers have been reported by incorporating the second-generation carbazole dendron into the side chain of a red-emitting thermally activated delayed ?uorescence (TADF) polymer. Due to the prevented hole trap effect, in this case, excitons can be generated simultaneously on the polymeric host and the red TADF dopant to give a dual emission. Consequently, a bright white electroluminescence is achieved even at a dopant loading as high as 5 mol.%, revealing a maximum luminous ef?ciency of 16.1 cd/A (12.0 lm/W, 8.2%) and Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.42, 0.32). The results clearly indicate that the delicate tuning of charge trap is a promising strategy to develop ef?cient single white-emitting polymers, whose low-band-gap chromophore content can be up to a centesimal level.

Concentration quenching resistant donor-acceptor molecular structure for high efficiency and long lifetime thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes via suppressed non-radiative channel
摘要： A molecular design having t-butyl groups surrounding a donor-acceptor type core structure was developed as an approach to obtain high external quantum efficiency by suppressing concentration quenching effect caused by strong intermolecular interaction. The donor-acceptor type core structure was surrounded by six t-butyl groups to separate the donor-acceptor core structure between molecules. A heptazine acceptor and a diphenylamine donor based thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitter protected by the multiple t-butyl units achieved maximum external quantum efficiency of 32.6% at 1% doping concentration and 23.0% even at a high doping concentration of 20% by reducing concentration quenching effect. Furthermore, the lifetime of the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices was also improved relative to that of the previous emitter with the same acceptor. The external quantum efficiency and device lifetime are better than any other results reported in the orange TADF OLEDs.

Rigid Oxygen-Bridged Boron-Based Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitter for Organic Light-Emitting Diode: Approach towards Satisfying High Efficiency and Long Lifetime Together
摘要： Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have emerged as an efficient emitter for achieving high efficiency of blue organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, it is challenging to satisfy both high device efficiency and long operational lifetime together. Here, highly efficient and electrochemically stable blue TADF emitter, 5-(5,9-dioxa-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracen-7-yl)-10,15-diphenyl-10,15-dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3′,2′-c]carbazole (DBA-DI) is designed and synthesized for high efficiency and long lifetime OLED. This emitter exhibits high photoluminescence quantum yield of 95.3%, small single-triplet energy gap of 0.03 eV, short delayed exciton lifetime of 1.25 μs, and high bond dissociation energy (BDE). Also, phosphine oxide free high triplet energy host systems (single and mixed) and exciton blocking layer materials are analyzed using molecular and optical simulations to find an efficient host system with high BDE and suitable emission zone for high efficiency and stable OLEDs. The fabricated OLED with DBA-DI and high triplet host exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 28.1% with blue CIE color coordinates of (0.16, 0.39) and long operational lifetime (LT50) of 329 h at the initial luminance of 1000 cd m?2. Furthermore, the mixed host-based TADF device showed a slightly lower EQE of 26.4% and almost two times longer lifetime (LT50: 540 h) than the single host device.

Efficient and Stable Deep-Blue Fluorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Employing a Sensitizer with Fast Triplet Upconversion
摘要： Multiple donor–acceptor-type carbazole–benzonitrile derivatives that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are the state of the art in efficiency and stability in sky-blue organic light-emitting diodes. However, such a motif still suffers from low reverse intersystem crossing rates (kRISC) with emission peaks <470 nm. Here, a weak acceptor of cyanophenyl is adopted to replace the stronger cyano one to construct blue emitters with multiple donors and acceptors. Both linear donor–π–donor and acceptor–π–acceptor structures are observed to facilitate delocalized excited states for enhanced mixing between charge-transfer and locally excited states. Consequently, a high kRISC of 2.36 × 106 s?1 with an emission peak of 456 nm and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 22.8% is achieved. When utilizing this material to sensitize a blue multiple-resonance TADF emitter, the corresponding device simultaneously realizes a maximum external quantum efficiency of 32.5%, CIEy ≈ 0.12, a full width at half maximum of 29 nm, and a T80 (time to 80% of the initial luminance) of > 60 h at an initial luminance of 1000 cd m?2.

High Performances Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Organic Light-emitting Diodes with Wide Gap Phosphorescent Complex as Sensitizer
摘要： In this work, we demonstrated the high performances electroluminescent (EL) devices based on orange-yellow thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter (TXO-TPA) by utilizing an iridium complex (FK306) as sensitizer. Compared with reference devices without FK306, these co-doped devices displayed significant enhancement of EL performances, which could be attributed to optimized carriers' distribution and efficient energy transfer. In addition, the presence of FK306 molecules helps to broaden the exciton formation zone in EML2, thus suppressing the quenching of triplet excitons. Finally, the optimized co-doped double-EMLs device obtained superior EL performances with maximum current efficiency, power efficiency and external quantum efficiency up to 58.94 cd/A, 61.69 lm/W and 16.5%, respectively. Even at the high brightness of 1000 cd/m2, EL efficiency as high as 12.67 cd/A can still be retained by the same device.
