Microfluidic devices, kits systems and methods are provided for high throughput phenotypic separation of magnetically labelled cell samples. The devices and methods can be used for example to sort cells based on level of target marker and to sort screen cells, such as CRISPR screen cells and other screens with a large number of target cells, to isolate target cells and putative genetic modifiers.

Microfluidic devices and methods of use

Electrosynthesis of oxirane can include contacting a halide electrolyte with an anode and cathode respectively located in anodic and cathodic compartments; supplying olefin reactants into the electrolyte in the anodic compartment, such that the anode generates ethylene chlorohydrin; withdrawing a loaded anodic solution comprising ethylene halohydrin from the anodic compartment, and a loaded cathodic solution comprising OHions from the cathodic compartment; and mixing the loaded anodic solution with the loaded cathodic solution under conditions to react ethylene halohydrin with OH— to produce oxirane. The electrocatalyst can include iridium oxide on a titanium substrate, with the iridium oxide provided as nanoparticles on a titanium mesh, and the electrolyte can be aqueous KCl. The electrocatalyst can define an extended heterogenous:homogenous interface with halide ions acting as a reservoir for positive charges, thereby storing and redistributing positive charges to promote selective generation of ethylene halohydrins.

Electrosynthesis of oxiranes

Electrosynthesis of oxirane can include contacting a halide electrolyte with an anode that includes an electrocatalyst comprising iridium oxide loaded with a period-6 metal oxide and provided on a metal substrate. The cathode can be operated under ORR conditions. The electrochemical system can also be provided as an integrated system that includes COelectroreduction to produce ethylene and formation of hypochlorous acid using the electrocatalyst, followed by contact of the ethylene and the hypochlorous acid to form ethylene chlorohydrin which is, in turn, contacted with OHions to produce oxirane.

The present description relates to metal alloy electrocatalysts, preferably composed of Ni and Co as transition metals and Se as a chalcogen. The electrocatalysts can take the form of nanochalcogenides that can be made using cryogenic milling followed by surfactant-assistant milling. The electrocatalysts can be used in the context of water electrolysis or electroreduction of COgas into carbon based products.

Novel 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, including (4-CF—PMA)PbI, that emit in the blue spectral region, and methods for making same. The CF-substituted material exhibits a ˜0.16 eV larger bandgap than corresponding halogen-substituted materials. This family of materials offers a degree of freedom in tuning 2D perovskites to specific bandgaps for optoelectronic applications. These materials are highly stable, easily synthesized, and do not suffer from phase separation.

2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites and uses thereof

Perovskites have high density of vacancies which absorb oxygen molecules and upon illumination, transform them into superoxide species which react with perovskites to decompose them, preventing use of these materials in many photo-applications. The present disclosure provides ways for improving the stability of perovskites in air ambient by doping perovskites with metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and tin which decreases the density of vacancies in perovskites and significantly increases the lifetime of perovskites. Perovskite solar cells containing inorganic and organic ions such as Cs+, formamidinium and methylammonium cations, Pb+, Br— and I— with these metal dopants exhibit stable efficiency within a month of storage in air ambient with the relative humidity of 50%.

The present invention relates to highly polarizable 3D organic perovskites of the general formula ABX, prepared by introducing halogen functional groups in the A-site cation (in which the A and B sites are occupied by organic cations and the X site is a monovalent non-metallic counterion). The (DCl)(NH)(BF)crystal exhibits a strong linear electrooptic (EO) effect with an effective EO coefficient of 20 pmV, which is 10 times higher than that of metal halide perovskites. These 3D organic perovskites are solution processed and compatible with silicon, and illustrate the potential of rationally-designed all-organic perovskites for use in on-chip modulators, electro-optic devices, piezoelectric devices, or silicon photonics devices.

The present disclosure provides a method for facet-selective passivation on each crystal facet of colloidal nanocrystals via solution-phase ligand exchange process, thereby providing highly-passivated and colloidally-stable nanocrystal inks. This ligand exchange strategy separately addresses polar and non-polar facets precluding from deleterious nanocrystal aggregation in the colloid. The method involves the introduction of alkali metal organic complexes during metal halide conventional solution exchanges, and one specific example is Na·Ac. Alkali metal ions stabilize and passivate non polar facets whereas polar facets are passivated through metal halides. This strategy leads to a significant decrease in nanocrystal aggregation during and after ligand exchange, and to improved photophysical properties stemming from this. The resulting nanocrystal solid films exhibit improved stability, retain their absorption features, and have a minimized Stokes shift.
