Abstract:
... In this study, for the first time, n–i–p PSCs were fabricated using dopant-free 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) as the solution-processed hole transporting layer (HTL). The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the optimized device with the C8-BTBT film that favored edge-on molecular alignment was 22.45% with negligible hysteresis. A thinner dopant-free C8-BTBT HTL effec ...

Abstract:
... Although there are over 4000 potato cultivars in the world, only a few have been commercialized due to their marketability and shelf-life. Most noncommercialized cultivars are pigmented and found in remote regions of the world. White-fleshed potatoes are well known for their energy-enhancing complex carbohydrates; however, pigmented cultivars are potentially high in health-promoting polyphenolic c ...

Abstract:
... With increasing protein needs for the burgeoning population, newer sources of proteins are attracting the attention of scientists globally. Despite having adequate nutritional appeal, many proteins are also lost in waste streams due to their poor functional properties. Besides the nutritional aspect, proteins have been used for controlled release of bioactives, and extending the shelf-life of fres ...

Abstract:
... Thiol-ene and thiol-yne photomediated conjugations have received substantial attention in research and in practice. Herein is presented the photodisulfidation of alkenes based on the radical-mediated 1:1 reaction of a disulfide and a vinyl ether, which provides an additional route for the formation of the types of sulfides seen in thiol-ene and thiol-yne polymers. Although similar linkages are for ...

Abstract:
... Mycotoxin‐producing fungi are a significant source of crop and food contamination, posing a significant threat to global food safety and security. Essential oils, plant extracts and phytochemicals have emerged as green preservatives to extend the shelf‐life of foods due to their unique antimicrobial properties. Unlike conventional synthetic preservatives, they are a sustainable and safe way to pre ...

Abstract:
... The global population increase has increased the demand for food products. However, post‐harvest deterioration because of oxidation and discoloration results in a drastic loss of food quality and supply. Thus, research has focused on developing strategies to minimize such losses. One of those strategies includes the application of ergothioneine (ET), a potent hydrophilic antioxidant, to several fo ...
