The effect of extending z-conjugation length or increasing the number of side groups compared with reference compound on the photophysical, electrochemical, hole mobility properties and performance in perovskite solar cells were further studied. It is noted that these two kinds of molecular modifications can significantly lower the HOMO level and improve the hole mobility, thus improving the hole injection from valence band of perovskite. On the other hand, the compound with more side groups showed higher hole injection efficiency due to lower HOMO level and higher hole mo- bility compared with the compound with extending π-conjugation length. The perovskite solar cells with the modified molecules as hole transporting materials showed a higher efficiency of 15.40% and 16.95%, respectively, which is better than that of the reference compound (13.18%). Moreover, the compound with increasing number of side groups based devices showed comparable photovoltaic performance with that of conventional spiro-OMeTAD (16.87%).展开更多

The impact of varied terminal groups on bulk properties, such as photophysical, electrochemical, thermal, hole extraction, and photovoltaic performance in perovskite solar cells is investigated.It is noted that the terminal groups of the hole transporting material with half methoxy and half methylsulfanyl exhibit a better device performance and decreased hysteresis compared with all methoxy or methylsulfanyl counterparts due to better film-forming ability and improved hole extraction capability.Promisingly, the spiro-OSMe TAD also shows comparable performance than high-purity commercial spiro-OMe TAD. Moreover, the highest power conversion efficiency of the optimized device employing spiro-OSMe TAD exceeding 20% has been achieved.展开更多

In particular, the interfaces between the perovskite and charge transport layers account for the vast majority of the recombination losses.Interfacial contact and band alignment between the lowtemperature-processed TiO2 electron transport layer(ETL)and the perovskite are essential to minimize nonradiative recombination losses. In this study, a CeOx interlayer is employed to modify the perovskite/TiO2 interface, and the charge transport properties of the devices are investigated. The bilayer-structured TiO2/CeOx ETL leads to the modification of the interface energetics, resulting in improved electron extraction and reduced nonradiative recombination in the PSCs.Devices based on TiO2/CeOx ETL exhibit a high open-circuit voltage(Voc) of 1.13 V and an enhanced PCE of more than 20%as compared with Vocof 1.08 V and a PCE of approximately 18% for TiO2-based devices. Moreover, PSCs based on TiO2/CeOx ETL maintain over 88% of their initial PCEs after light illumination for 300 min, whereas PSCs based on TiO2 ETL almost failed. This study provides an efficient strategy to enhance the PCE and stability of PSCs based on a lowtemperature-processed TiO2 ETL.展开更多

摘要The microscopic stripe pillar is one of the most frequently adopted building blocks for hydrophobic substrates.However,at high temperatures the particles on the droplet surface readily evaporate and re-condense on the pillar sidewall,which makes the droplet highly unstable and undermines the overall hydrophobic performance of the pillar.In this work,molecular dynamics(MD)simulation of the simple liquid at a single stripe pillar edge defect is performed to characterize the droplet's critical wetting properties considering the evaporation–condensation effect.From the simulation results,the droplets slide down from the edge defect with a volume smaller than the critical value,which is attributed to the existence of the wetting layer on the stripe pillar sidewall.Besides,the analytical study of the pillar sidewall and wetting layer potential field distribution manifests the relation between the simulation parameters and the degree of the droplet pre-wetting,which agrees well with the MD simulation results.

摘要Halide perovskite memristors,known for their ion mobility,have emerged as strong candidates for computational units in next-generation memory and neuromorphic computing systems.Nevertheless,most memristors are limited to operating in a single mode,either resistive switching or threshold switching.In this work,we overcome this limitation by developing dual-modeα-formamidinium lead triiodide(α-FAPbI3)perovskite memristors with switchable volatileonvolatile states,enabled by engineered SnO2 electron transport layers(ETLs).Through molecular interface optimization using 3-(N,N′-dimethylmyristylammonio)propanesulfonate(Z14)and 4,4′-(1,10-phenanthroline-3,8-diyl)bis(N,N′-bis(4-methoxyphen-yl)aniline)(PNL),we achieved exceptional device stability.Volatile devices exhibited>500 switching cycles,while nonvolatile devices surpassed 1000 cycles,both maintaining a high on/off ratio(~103).Beyond memory applications,these devices successfully emulated biological functionalities.The volatile mode replicated four key nociceptor characteristics(threshold,relaxation,sensitization,and no adaptation),while the nonvolatile mode demonstrated advanced synaptic plasticity,including paired-pulse facilitation(PPF)and spike-timing-dependent plasticity(STDP).Capitalizing on this dual-mode synergy,we constructed a spiking neural network(SNN)for handwritten digit recognition,achieving a 93%accuracy rate—a significant milestone for perovskite-based neuromorphic systems.This study not only provides a material-level strategy for multifunctional memristor design but also bridges the gap between biological sensing and artificial intelligence,paving the way for adaptive neuromorphic hardware.

摘要An automatic transverse robot(ATR)can transport large and heavy material rolls from a vertical to horizontal position onto an automated guided vehicle or to designated areas in an automated and intelligent flexible packaging printing workshop.The degradation and fault prediction of the ATR can help ensure the safe and efficient operation of the robot.A digital twin-assisted improved transformer multidimensional time series method was proposed by integrating information from a physical-based model and data.It incorporated position information through a novel rotational position encoding(RoPE)of multidimensional time-series data,and the attention mechanism was weighted twice by temporal hybrid drift weighting.Fault prediction of the ATR was achieved by digital twin based mutual feedback synchronisation in virtual reality and adaptive learning based on improved transformer multidimensional time series data.The key performance metrics MSE,MAE and F1-score were 0.00743,0.001427,and 0.9129,respectively.It predicted deviations beyond the safe error range and successfully anticipated potential behavioural faults such as collision and roll slipping,which were caused by the inadequate pressure of the expansion shaft rod.It enabled visual fault prediction and virtual feedback regulation,avoiding accidents and ensuring safety and reliability in an intelligent flexible packaging printing workshop.

摘要Aqueous Zn-ion batteries(AZIBs)are one of the promising battery technologies for the green energy storage and electric vehicles.As one attractive cathode material for AZIBs,α-MnO2 materials exhibit superior electrochemical properties.However,their long-term reversibility is still in great suspense.Considering the decisive effect of the structure and morphology on theα-MnO2 materials,hierarchicalα-MnO2 materials would be promising to improve the cycle performance of AZIB.Here,we synthesized theα-MnO2 urchin-like microspheres(AUM)via a self-assembled method.The porous microspheres composed of one-dimensionalα-MnO2 nanofibers with high crystallinity,which improved the surface area and active sites for Zn2+intercalation.The AUM-based AZIB realized a high initial capacity of 308.0 mA hg-1,and the highest energy density was 396.7 W hkg-1.The kinetics investigation confirmed the high capacitive contribution and fast ion diffusion of the AUM.Ex-situ XRD measurement further verified the synergistic insertion/extraction of H+and Zn2+ions during the charge/discharge process.The superiority of the AUM guaranteed good electrochemical performance and reversible phase evolution,and this application would promote the follow-up research on the advanced AZIB.

摘要Researchers working in the field of photovoltaic are exploring novel materials for the efficient solar energy conversion.The prime objective of the discovery of every novel photovoltaic material is to achieve more energy yield with easy fabrication process and less production cost features.Perovskite solar cells (PSCs)delivering the highest efficiency in the passing years with different stoichiometry and fabrication modification have made this technology a potent candidate for future energy conversion materials.Till now,many studies have shown that the quality of active layer morphology,to a great extent,determines the performance of PSCs.The current and potential techniques of solvent engineering for good active layer morphology are mainly debated using primary solvent,co-solvent (Lewis acid-base adduct approach)and solvent additives.In this review,the dynamics of numerously reported solvents on the morphological characteristics of PSCs active layer are discussed in detail.The intention is to get a clear understanding of solvent engineering induced modifications on active layer morphology in PSC devices via different crystallization routes.At last,an attempt is made to draw a framework based on different solvent coordination properties to make it easy for screening the potent solvent contender for desired PSCs precursor for a better and feasible device.

摘要Despite demonstrating remarkable power conversion efficiencies(PCEs), perovskite solar cells(PSCs) have not yet achieved their full potential. In particular, the interfaces between the perovskite and charge transport layers account for the vast majority of the recombination losses.Interfacial contact and band alignment between the lowtemperature-processed TiO2 electron transport layer(ETL)and the perovskite are essential to minimize nonradiative recombination losses. In this study, a CeOx interlayer is employed to modify the perovskite/TiO2 interface, and the charge transport properties of the devices are investigated. The bilayer-structured TiO2/CeOx ETL leads to the modification of the interface energetics, resulting in improved electron extraction and reduced nonradiative recombination in the PSCs.Devices based on TiO2/CeOx ETL exhibit a high open-circuit voltage(Voc) of 1.13 V and an enhanced PCE of more than 20%as compared with Vocof 1.08 V and a PCE of approximately 18% for TiO2-based devices. Moreover, PSCs based on TiO2/CeOx ETL maintain over 88% of their initial PCEs after light illumination for 300 min, whereas PSCs based on TiO2 ETL almost failed. This study provides an efficient strategy to enhance the PCE and stability of PSCs based on a lowtemperature-processed TiO2 ETL.

摘要The quality of the perovskite light absorption layer plays a dynamic role in the photovoltaic properties of solar cells.The existing methods to prepare methylammonium lead iodide(MAPbI3)films render substantial structural defect density,particularly at the grain boundaries and film surface,constituting a challenge that hinders the further optoelectronic enhancement of perovskite solar cells.Herein,a unique approach was introduced:using a simple ethylammonium chloride(EACl)additive in perovskite precursor mixture to produce high-quality MAPbI3 thin films.The results indicated that EACl could encourage perovskite crystal growth without experiencing the intermediate phase formation and would evaporate from the perovskite after annealing.Additionally,a gradient perovskite structure was achieved using this technique,which impressively enhanced the performance of the perovskite films.A high power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 20.03%was achieved under the optimal amount of EACl,and the resultant efficient device could retain over 89%of the original PCE after aging for 1000 h at room temperature.This novel technique leads to a facile fabrication of highquality and less-defect perovskite thin films for competent and stable devices.
