The formamidinium（FA）, methylammonium（MA） and Cs cations are widely studied in the field of mixed-cation perovskites. Here, we have investigated ethylammonium（EA） as an alternative cation to fabricate a mixed-cation perovskite of MA_（1-x）EA_xPbI_3. We have characterized the materials using the X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscope（SEM）, and UV–vis spectrum. Our results have confirmed the successful incorporation of EA cations into MAPbI_3. Interestingly, the optimal amount of EA to achieve the best performance is quite low. This is different from the FA–MA mixed-cation perovskites although EA and FA have similar radii. In short, the EA–MA mixed-cation perovskite has some material and device properties highly distinguishable from the FA–MA one.展开更多

It is presumed that the regulation of beta-site APP-deaving enzyme 1 （BACE1）, the rate-limiting enzyme in metabolism of Aβ, would be a key site. Neuro-2a/amyloid precursor protein 695 （APP695） cell models of cerebral isch- emia were established by oxygen-glucose deprivation to investigate the effects of Rapamycin （an autophagy inducer） or 3-methyladenine （an autophagy inhibitor） on the expression of BACE1. Either oxygen-glucose deprivation or Rapamycin down-regulated the expression of BACE1 while 3-methyladenine up-regulated BACE1 expression. These results confirm that oxygen-glucose deprivation down-regulates BACE1 expression in Neuro-2a/APP695 cells through the introduction of autophagy.展开更多
