Quasi 2D perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising light absorbers that overcome the inherent instabilities of 3D perovskites. High-performance and stable 2D PSCs require careful control over the crystallographic orientation and phase distribution. This study introduces a simple and universal bifacial stamping method to obtain highly oriented perovskite crystals ...
Continue readingMany components including aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons such as paraffins and olefins are contained in petroleum fuel such as gasoline, gas oil, etc. Analyzing these components is very important because these components greatly affect the efficiency of the fuel and the amount of environmental pollutant which is discharged from engine after burnin...
Continue readingUltra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) is a separation method that employs columns packed with sub 2 µm packing materials, offering high column efficiency even at a high mobile phase linear velocity. The typical length of commercial column is 50 mm, however, 100 and 150 mm long columns are now available, offering much higher efficiency. In th...
Continue readingDue to its poor UV absorbance, fatty acids have been commonly measured at a short UV wavelengths or using a refractive index detector – which can take a long time to establish a stable baseline. Pre-column derivatization is another well known approach in the analysis of fatty acids, but the procedure is complicated. ELSD is recognized as an effective method f...
Continue readingTerpenes in essential oils are easily oxidized and can cause a decrease in the flavor in foods. Removal of Terpenes is commonly practiced in perfume industry to yield higher quality oils. Natural spearmint oil contains l-limonene that is quite unlike d-limonene, the aroma is not reminiscent of citrus but of a light, clean Terpene hydrocarbon fragrance. Conventional...
Continue readingGasoline is produced by fractional distillation of petroleum at a boiling point between 30°C and 200°C. It contains hydrocarbons such as paraffin, olefin, and aromatics, carbon numbers of which are between 4 and 10. Characterization of gasoline requires the determination of the contents of those hydrocarbons. American Society for Testing and Materials (A...
Continue readingBiodiesel is made from vegetable oil produced from various plant materials into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by trans-esterification of the triglycerides contained in the vegetable oils. This may be an excellent replacement for non-carbon neutral diesel fuel from petroleum. The combustion of diesel oil produces carbon dioxide which may be considered to be one of...
