Controlling vertical phase separation of the active layer to enable efficient exciton dissociation and charge carrier transport is crucial to boost power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of pseudoplanar heterojunction (PPHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). However, how to optimize the vertical phase separation of PPHJ OSCs via molecule design is rarely reported yet. Herein, ternary polymerization strategy is employed to develop a series of polymer donors, DL1-DL4, and regulate their solubility, molecular aggregation, molecular orientation, and miscibility, thus efficiently manipulating vertical phase separation in PPHJ OSCs. Among them, DL1 not only has enhanced solubility, inhibited molecular aggregation and partial edge-on orientation to facilitate acceptor molecules, Y6, to permeate into polymer layer and increase donor/acceptor interfaces, but also sustains high crystallinity and appropriate miscibility with Y6 to acquire ordered molecular packing, thus achieving optimized vertical phase separation to well juggle exciton dissociation and charge transport in PPHJ devices. Therefore, DL1/Y6 based PPHJ OSCs gain the best exciton dissociation probability, highest charge carrier mobilities and weakest charge recombination, and thus afford an impressive PCE of 19.10%, which is the record value for terpolymer donors. It demonstrates that ternary polymerization is an efficient method to optimize vertical phase separation in PPHJ OSCs for high PCEs. Ternary polymerization strategy is employed to manipulate the vertical phase separation in pseudoplanar heterojunction (PPHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). The terpolymer DL1, with enhanced solubility, partial edge-on orientation, and high crystallinity, endows DL1/Y6 PPHJ blend film with the optimized vertical phase separation. Therefore, DL1/Y6 based PPHJ OSCs afford an impressive PCE of 19.10%, which is the record for terpolymer ***

An optical fibre long period grating (LPG) biosensor is appealing in the detection of biomolecules because of the high sensitivity, label-free and real-time measurement. The miniaturized size, ability of remote sensing and immunity to electromagnetic interference of the LPG biosensor provide various possibility of single-point sensing in situations such as point of care diagnostics and in vivo measurement. Two optical fibre LPG based biosensors are reported for detection of streptavidin (SV) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) respectively. The LPG is coated with a film containing three layers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride)/gold coated silica nanoparticles via the layer-by-layer method. Biotin is covalently bonded to the surface of the gold shell by means of the formation of an amide bonds for detection of streptavidin. The concentration of SV in water for detection varied from 1.25 nM to 2.7 mu M. The LPG sensor, operating close to the phase matching condition shows a high sensitivity of 3.88 (ng/ mm(2))(-1) and a detection limit of 0.86 mu g/mm(2) for the detection of SV. The limit of detection is 22 times lower than previously demonstrated with this type of sensor. The developed IgM sensor has the same configuration of film but has anti-IgM embedded on the LPG instead of biotin, demonstrating versatility of the sensing platform. This was used for the detection of human IgM with concentrations from 15.6 mu g/ml to 1 mg/ml. The LPG sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 11 nm (ng/mm(2))(-1) for the detection of IgM with a detection limit of 15 pg/mm(2). The developed highly sensitive IgM sensor shows the potential application of clinical point of care for detection of lower concentration of IgM in vitro. The proposed biosensor exhibits high sensitivity and rapid detection of low concentrations biomolecules from the small size of SV to the large size of IgM.

An optical fibre long period grating sensor coated with three layers of poly (allylamine hydrochloride) and silica core gold shell nanoparticles was developed for the detection of human IgM. Three different concentrations of IgM suspension (19nM, 83nM and 0.3 mu M) were detected. The sensor response time is less than 8 minutes and the binding of IgM can be observed dynamically at a concentration of 0.3 mu M. The binding constant of IgM on the LPG sensor is 23.9 (pM)(-1) based on the fitting of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The sensitivity of the LPG sensor is calculated as 11 nm/(ng/mm(2)) with a limit of detection of 0.0218 ng/mm(2).

The HKUST-1 metal-organic framework (MOF) was selected because of the large internal surface area, excellent stability and known properties. Mechanical strain is generated upon the adsorption of analytes into the MOF;it is proportional to concentration and is a function of adsorbed species. Piezoresistive microcantilevers serve as a transduction mechanism to convert surface strain into electrical signals. N-doped piezoresistive cantilever arrays were fabricated with ten structures per die. Thin films of HKUST-1 were grown at room temperature using layer-by-layer techniques. Dry nitrogen was used as a carrier gas to expose devices to varying concentrations of 12 different volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Results show that stress-induced piezoresistive microcantilever array sensors with MOF coatings can provide a highly sensitive and reversible sensing mechanism for water vapour and methanol. Characteristic response features allow discrimination based on shape, response time constants and magnitude of response for other VOCs. Devices provided reliable data and proved durable over 18 months of testing. The key advantages of this type of sensor are higher sensitivity with a microporous MOFs, reversible response, single chip sensing system and low power operation.

Single-component silk-on-silk microcapsules based on a layer-by-layer approach demonstrate the fabrication of highly permeable microcapsules with controlled permeability, porosity, and shell thickness. The formation of monodisperse robust capsules is afforded as a result of the formation of a beta-sheet-rich structure of the absorbed silk proteins and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions.
