Overall, these studies reveal that aprotic solvents with high solvent polarity (such as acetonitrile) yield more efficient solar cell devices.doi:10.1002/ppsc.202000220Hui FangDepartment of Chemistry Temple University Philadelphia PA 19122 USAJianqiang Ma...
and reflux temperature with a suitable peroxide or peracid (e.g. hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide or mCPBA), optionally in the presence of an appropriate solvent (e.g. dichloromethane, t-butanol, nitromethane, toluene, water, acetonitrile, or mixtures thereof), a suitable catalyst (...

The finally employed optimum method consisted of a multistep gradient elution system using 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in ultrapure water as solvent A and acetonitrile as solvent B. The steps of the gradient were as follows: 0–2 min isocratic at 8% B, 2–17 min from 8 to 30% B, 17–27...
