Perovskite-based semiconductor photodetectors have attracted wide attention in the photoelectric fields. By local MoO3 induction, MoO3:CsPbBr3−CsPbBr3 homojunction photodetector was constructed by chemical vapor deposition, exhibiting not only excellent response speed in the scale of microsecond, but also high responsivity of 247.1 A W−1 and detectivity (8.7 × 1012 Jones), roughly an order of magnitude higher than that of CsPbBr3 devices. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements show that the Fermi level moves closer to the top of the valence band due to the local MoO3 induction, leading to the conversion of weak p-type CsPbBr3 to a strong p-type semiconductor, which is consistent with the calculation result based on density functional theory (DFT). The band alignment in the homojunction accelerates the photo-generated carrier separation and transfer, thus improving the photoelectric performance of MoO3:CsPbBr3−CsPbBr3 homojunction. Our results provide a new strategy to design photodetectors with excellent performance by constructing homojunctions with perovskite on different substrates.

W 18 O 49 has widely used in photothermal application and photocatalyst due to its strong Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) effect and unique oxygen-deficient structure. In addition, the unstable structure and easily changed valence state of W 5+ make W 18 O 49 potentially photochromic. However, the generally synthesized blue W 18 O 49 particles was in a saturated colored state, delivering a great challenge in exploring its photochromic features, which thus have seldom been studied. Herein, we found that the bleached W 18 O 49 obtained by mild-heating the solvothermal-synthesized blue W 18 O 49 nanoparticles in air had considerable reversible photochromic feature, which can be colored in 1 min under UV irradiation. The photochromic mechanism of W 18 O 49 was revealed through the XRD, XPS and FTIR results. The chromic process was mainly attributed to the changed W 5+ content under different conditions. The photochromic performance was systematically investigated on the W 18 O 49 -based film and which can be significantly improved by Ti doping. Finally, the great potential of the films in the energy-saving smart windows application has verified, and a 10 at.% Ti-doped W 18 O 49 film delivered outstanding optical performance with luminous transmittance ( T lum ) of 87.53% and solar energy modulation efficiency (Δ T sol ) of 30.13%.

TiO2is a typical semiconductor material, and it has attracted much attention in the field of humidity sensors. Doping is an efficient way to enhance the humidity response of TiO2. Eu-doped TiO2material was investigated in both theoretical simulations and experiments. In a simulation based on density functional theory, a doped Eu atom can increase the performance of humidity sensors by producing more oxygen vacancies than undoped TiO2. In these experiments, Eu-doped TiO2nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, and the results also confirm the theoretical prediction. When the doping mole ratio is 5 mol%, the response of the humidity sensor reaches 23,997.0, the wet hysteresis is 2.3% and the response/recovery time is 3/13.1 s. This study not only improves the basis for preparation of high-performance TiO2humidity sensors, but also fills the research gap on rare earth Eu-doped TiO2as a humidity-sensitive material.

Due to the low toxicity and abundance of nature, Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) has been considered as a promising solar cell material. The absorber is the most critical structure in a solar cell, which determines the performance of the cell. Selenium-rich CZTSSe can be formed by replacing S atoms of CZTS with Se. However, the method of adding Se element through H 2 Se is constrained due to the toxicity of H 2 Se. The work adopted a method to prepare excellent CZTSSe absorbers without H 2 Se. The stack structure CZTS precursor films were prepared by solution-based deposition, and CZTSSe absorbers were obtained after selenization annealing at 550 °C with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 g of selenium powders in argon, respectively. The obtained CZTSSe absorbers had pure CZTSSe phase, high absorption coefficients and appropriate bandgaps. After annealing with 0.2 g of selenium powder, the holes in the CZTSSe film diminished, and the grain size of absorbers increased from 0.31 µm in the CZTS absorber to 1.17 µm. The peaks of Se 3d for CZTSSe absorber were observed, the lattice spacing of plane (112) increased from 3.10 Å to 3.22 Å, and the work function decreased from 5.31 eV to 5.19 eV. The improved performance of absorber will be of great significance for the efficiency of CZTSSe device.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are ideal technologies for large-scale energy storage systems because of their abundant resources and low cost. However, Al foil, the current collector of sodium-ion battery, has a great influence on the performance of the battery, but it has rarely been studied. In this paper, we prove that the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene current collector can make a stronger connection with the electrode, lowering the electrode-collector interface resistance considerably. When compared to Al current collectors in SIBs, the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene current collector reduces polarization and enhances performance. the sodium vanadium phosphate(NVP) electrode with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene current collector exhibits significantly enhanced rate capability (81.9 mAh g −1 at 500 mA g −1 ) and cycling performance (81.5% over 200 cycles at 1C) than Al foil. The results show that Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene current collector has a broad prospect in the application of high power SIB battery.

Kesterite Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells have drawn worldwide attention for their promising photovoltaics performance and earth-abundant element composition, yet the record efficiency of this type of device is still far lower than its theoretical conversion efficiency. Undesirable band alignment and severe non-radiative recombination at CZTSSe/CdS heterojunction interfaces are the major causes limiting the current/voltage output and overall device performance. Herein, we propose a novel two-step CdS deposition strategy to improve the quality of CZTSSe/CdS heterojunction interface and thereby improve the performance of CZTSSe solar cell. The two-step strategy includes firstly pre-deposits CdS thin layer on CZTSSe absorber layer by chemical bath deposition (CBD), followed with a mild heat treatment to facilitate element inter-diffusion, and secondly deposits an appropriate thickness of CdS layer by CBD to cover the whole surface of pre-deposited CdS and CZTSSe layers. The solar energy conversion efficiency of CZTSSe solar cells with two-step deposited CdS layer approaches to 8.76% (with an active area of about 0.19 cm 2 ), which shows an encouraging improvement of over 87.98% or 30.16% compared to the devices with traditional CBD-deposited CdS layer without and with the mild annealing process, respectively. The performance enhancement by the two-step CdS deposition is attributed to the formation of more favorable band alignment at CZTSSe/CdS interface as well as the effective decrease in interfacial recombination paths on the basis of material and device characterizations. The two-step CdS deposition strategy is simple but effective, and should have large room to improve the quality of CZTSSe/CdS heterojunction interface and further lift up the conversion efficiency of CZTSSe solar cells.

Copper (Cu)-based perovskites are promising for lead-free perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, it remains a significant challenge to achieve high performance devices due to the nonradiative loss caused by the disordered crystallization and lack of passivation. Crown ethers are known to form host–guest complexes by the interaction between C–O–C groups and certain cations, and 18-crown-6 (18C6) with an appropriate complementary size can interact with Cs+ and Cu+ cations. Herein, we studied the interaction between CsCu2I3 and two crowns with the same cyclic size, 18C6 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (D18C6). Particularly, D18C6 can reduce the nonradiative recombination rate of CsCu2I3 film by passivating the defects and optimizing the film morphology effectively. The room mean square (RMS) decreased from 5.06 to 2.95 nm, and the PLQY was promoted from 4.71% to 19.9%. Besides, D18C6 can also decrease the barrier of hole injection. The PeLEDs based on D18C6-modified CsCu2I3 realized noticeable improvement with a maximum luminance and EQE of 583 cd/m2 and 0.662%, respectively.

A high-quality perovskite film with interconnected perovskite grains was obtained by incorporating terephthalic acid (TPA) additive into the perovskite precursor solution. The presence of TPA changed the crystallization kinetics of the perovskite film and promoted lateral growth of grains in the vicinity of crystal boundaries. As a result, sheet-shaped perovskite was formed and covered onto the bottom grains, which made some adjacent grains partly merge together to form grains-interconnected perovskite film. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with TPA additive exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.51% with less hysteresis, which is obviously higher than that of pristine cells (15.53%). PSCs without and with TPA additive retain 18 and 51% of the initial PCE value, respectively, aging for 35 days exposed to relative humidity 30% in air without encapsulation. Furthermore, MAPbI3 film with TPA additive shows superior thermal stability to the pristine one under 100 °C baking. The results indicate that the presence of TPA in perovskite film can greatly improve the performance of PSCs as well as their moisture resistance and thermal stability.

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have received extensive academic and industrial attention for the exceptional properties of QDs including size-tunable emission wavelengths , narrow emission linewidths and inherent photo-physical stability. It is vital for the QLEDs performance to select appropriate hole transport materials due to the imbalance carrier injection caused by the higher electron mobility in most devices. In this paper, a small molecular material 1,1-bis [4-[N,N′-di (p-tolyl)amino]phenyl]-cyclohexane (TAPC) with high hole mobility was used to physically blend with poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) as the hole transport layer (HTL) by solution processing. In the inverted red QLEDs, when the optimized mass ratio of the mixture HTL (2:1 of PVK:TAPC) was adopted, the device turn-on voltage drops from 4.0 V to 2.4 V, the maximum current efficiency (CE max ) reaches 19.3 cd/A, which is 50% higher than that of the standard devices (with only PVK as HTL), the maximum power efficiency (PE max ) significantly increases from 5.2 lm/W to 16.7 lm/W, increased by more than 3 times, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaches 45% enhancement from 8.7% to 12.6%, and the optimized device lifetime is enhanced by 4.5 times. The improvement of performances can be mainly attributed to the addition of TAPC with high hole mobility and suitable energy levels, and the unique charge generation between PVK:TAPC and hole injection layer (HIL) interface. The results demonstrate that the blending of the small-molecule and polymer hole transport materials will be a feasible approach to improve the performance in the QLEDs.

Interface engineering is an effective way to improve the performance of graphene-based photodetectors . Here, a graphene/GaAs heterojunction photodetector is fabricated, and when inserting an Al 2 O 3 tunneling layer, its performance is improved through direct tunneling (DT) and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling (FNT). According to the experimental results, it is found that the thickness of the tunneling layer has a great influence on the performance of the photodetector. Compared with graphene/GaAs photodetector, the performance of graphene/Al 2 O 3 (2 nm)/GaAs photodetector is significantly improved with the responsivity, detectivity, and external quantum efficiency value of 0.80 A/W, 3.02 × 10 11 Jones and 306% under 1 mW/cm 2 light intensity at 2 V bias. Meanwhile, fast response is also observed (rise/decay time of 3 ms/8.6 ms). The improvement of the photodetector's performance in this work is mainly attributed to the effective modification of the interface state by the Al 2 O 3 tunneling layer and the effect of the two tunneling mechanisms based on DT and FNT.

Different concentrations of NH 4 Cl are introduced to MAPbI 3 precursor solution, planar MAPbI 3 perovskite films, and solar cells’ performance with or without NH 4 Cl have been studied. The NH 4 Cl/MAPbI 3 films exhibit increased grain size and narrowed grain boundaries. The light absorption of perovskite films with different concentrations of NH 4 Cl was also evaluated. To understand the growth of perovskite films with NH 4 Cl added to perovskite precursor solutions, XRD and XPS spectroscopy were conducted on different perovskite film samples. By adding NH 4 Cl, the MAPbI 3 film shows good crystal quality and the shift of Pb peaks indicates that NH 4 Cl is not physically mixed but chemically incorporated into MAPbI 3 films. We attribute the effect to Cl ions of NH 4 Cl combining with free lead ions of MAPbI 3 so as to fill the vacancy of volatile I ions in the NH 4 Cl–MAPbI 3 films. The 20 mg NH 4 Cl-based device showed an enhanced performance of a PCE of 13.67% compared to the device without adding NH 4 Cl with a PCE of 10.24%. The introduction of 20 mg NH 4 Cl achieved the best passivation effect. Using a 20 mg NH 4 Cl device, the trap density can be reduced to 0.84 × 10 16 cm −3 , resulting in more efficient charge removal from the surface and improved performance.

Monodisperse hollow mesoporous PdCo alloy nanospheres are prepared via a simple galvanic replacement reaction. The as-prepared PdCo hollow nanospheres have small diameter, such as Pd 78 Co 22 nanospheres of diameter about 25 nm and mesoporous shells about 4–5 nm. The Pd 78 Co 22 hollow mesoporous nanospheres possess the largest electrochemical active surface areas (ECSA, 53.91 m 2 g −1 ), mass activity (1488 mA mg −1 ) and specific activity (2.76 mA cm −2 ) towards to methanol oxidation relative to the Pd 68 Co 32 , Pd 92 Co 8 hollow mesoporous nanospheres and commercial Pd/C catalysts. Moreover, the activity of Pd 78 Co 22 after long-term stability tests is still the best and even better than those of fresh Pd 68 Co 32 and commercial Pd/C catalysts. The PdCo catalysts not only effectively reduce the Pd usage by forming hollow structure, but also fully realize the Pd-Co alloying effects for enhancing the methanol oxidation catalytic performance.
