In recent years, organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite materials have been found to have low thermal conductivity and a large Seebeck effect, giving them great potential for thermoelectric applications. More stable single crystals make this possible. In this work, high-quality MAPbI 3 single crystals are prepared using a modified solvent engineering method, and their trap density is as low as 2.5 × 10 9 cm −3 . It is noticed that the reaction between the crystal a metal electrode causes different degrees of doping effect along the vertical direction, leading to an increase in the intrinsic P-type with Au metal, and forming N-type semiconductor characteristics with Ag metal. A high Seebeck voltage thermoelectric module is obtained by combining the perovskite single crystal with different conductive characteristics. After device optimization, the thermoelectric potential of the champion module reaches a high voltage of 337 mV at 115 °C, the maximum output power with load reaches about 30 nW, and the theoretical maximum power reaches 65 nW. It is hoped that this research can promote the development of low thermal conductivity perovskite materials in the thermoelectric field.

Nanosheet-assembled microspheres of tungsten oxide doped with antimony were synthesized via hydrothermal method . Sb doping changed the valency of W, promoted a partial crystal phase transition from orthorhombic to hexagonal, and modified the surface morphology . Further, WO 3 is an n-type semiconductor and is sensitive to gases above 100 °C. The Sb-WO 3 sensors in this work were p-type semiconductors from 25 °C to 65 °C, and exhibited excellent sensitivity, fast response and good recovery properties to NH 3 . At 35 °C, the detection limit of 1 at% Sb-WO 3 for ammonia was 200 ppb, and the sensor shows a good stability and selectivity toward several possible interferent . The substantially improved sensing performance of the Sb-WO 3 sensors at near room temperature could be mainly attributed to the change of the W valency promoted via Sb doping.

We present a facile route for the fabrication of P-type Cu x S transparent and conducting thin films (TCTFs) using copper (I) oxide and butyl-dithiocarbamic acid as precursors by pulling method on glass. The as-deposited highly conductive crystalline Cu x S films showed high carrier concentration (∼3.11 × 10 22 cm −3 ), low electrical resistivity (∼1.02 × 10 −4 Ω cm) and conclusive p-type conduction. X-ray diffraction studies showed high crystallinity, and the optical transmission spectra in UV–vis–NIR region of such films were recorded, indicating that the transparency was over 75% with a band gap of 1.52 eV. The room-temperature sheet resistance increased from 9.9 to 302.4 Ω sq −1 with increasing baking temperature. The Cu x S/quantum dot bifacial thin films have been fabricated, and the experimental results indicated that luminescent, transparent, and conductive Cu x S/Cu-doped Zn y Cd 1-y S thin films have a very high potential application in thin film solar cells.

The development of high-performance transparent conductors (TCs) is critical for advancing transparent electronics and optoelectronic devices. While n-type TCs are well established, the development of p-type TCs remains hindered by the limited availability of suitable materials. In this study, the layered double perovskite Cs 4 ZnBi 2 Cl 12 was synthesized as a promising p-type TC, which exhibits a wide direct band gap of 3.56 eV and intrinsic p-type conductivity. A hydration-mediated strategy was developed to trigger a near-spherical nanocrystal-to-nanorod transformation and modulate the electronic structure. First-principles calculations clarify that the lattice compressive strain induced by hydration significantly reduces the hole effective mass while increasing conductivity from 8.99 to 9.21 mS cm −1 , outperforming traditional p-type TCs, such as CuAlO 2 (3.4 mS cm −1 ) and SrCu 2 O 2 (0.48 mS cm −1 ). These findings not only provide experimental validation of the theoretical predictions regarding Cs 4 ZnBi 2 Cl 12 as a p-type TC but also establish a hydration strategy for optimizing the optical and electrical performance of layered double perovskites.

Abstract Compared with widely studied lead halide perovskite, copper halide perovskite is toxic-free and combines better stability with comparable photoluminescence quantum yield. Cation doping has proven to be an effective way to manipulate optical and electronic properties of perovskite. Unlike lead halide perovskite able to act as the host of different kinds of dopant, copper halide perovskite acting as host material is still a great challenge. Herein, Mn was successfully doped into Cs \(_3\) Cu \(_2\) I \(_5\) under room temperature via solid-state reaction. In addition to original self-trapped emission of Cs \(_3\) Cu \(_2\) I \(_5\) at 445 nm, Mn dopant introduced characteristic emission at \(\sim \) 550 nm and realized dual color emission tuned by feeding ratio, extending chroma of Cs \(_3\) Cu \(_2\) I \(_5\) in blue region. Meanwhile, ultraviolet photo-electron spectra results confirmed that Mn \(^{2+}\) ion replacing Cu \(^+\) resulted in p-type doping in Cs \(_3\) Cu \(_2\) I \(_5\) . The as-prepared Mn:Cs \(_3\) Cu \(_2\) I \(_5\) microcrystals show excellent stability with almost unchanged PL intensity within 15 days. Graphical abstract

P-type nickel oxide acetylene black nanoparticles composite (NiO/AB) enables facile low cost counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), prepared by simple chemical process and doctor-blading method. Nanocrystalline p-type NiO contributes in the improvement of holes conduction at the acetylene black surface and escalates the electrocatalytic activity, confirmed by our cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Owing to the improvement of electrocatalytic activity, the mutual porous acetylene black surface with p-type NiO nanoparticles counter electrode and dye-sensitized TiO 2 photoanodes yielded significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency of 7.75%, which is superior to that of 6.51% and 6.96% of AB and expensive Pt in our experiment respectively.

P-type doping is a rational strategy for the enhancement of hole transporting properties of the organic semiconductors as well as the device performance of organic photo-electric devices. We originally introduce a stable and solution processed p-type dopant based on N-oxoammonium salts termed 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-oxopiperidinebromide salt (TEMPO-Br) for 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N, N-di-p-methoxyphenyl-amine)9,9′-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) based solid state dye sensitized solar cells (ssDSC). By introducing TEMPO-Br doped Spiro-OMeTAD and a commercialized D-π-A sensitizer into ssDSCs, a promising device performance of 6.83% is achieved under simulated AM 1.5G solar irradiation (100 mW cm −2 ), which is significantly better than the control devices (∼1.7 times). The doping effect of TEMPO-Br on the photophysical and electrochemical properties of Spiro-OMeTAD, solid state device performance, cationic dye regeneration kinetics and preliminary long-term stability have been systematically investigated. This work indicates a potential application of N-oxoammonium salts as chemical P-type dopants for triphenylamine based hole transporting materials in solid state photo-electric devices.

Photocatalytic technology holds significant promise for sustainable development and environmental protection due to its ability to utilize renewable energy sources and degrade pollutants efficiently. In this study, BiOI nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized using a simple water bath method with varying amounts of mannitol and reaction temperatures to investigate their structural, morphological, photoelectronic, and photocatalytic properties. Notably, the introduction of mannitol played a critical role in inducing a transition in BiOI from an n-type to a p-type semiconductor, as evidenced by Mott–Schottky (M-S) and band structure analyses. This transformation enhanced the density of holes (h + ) as primary charge carriers and resulted in the most negative conduction band (CB) position (−0.822 V vs. NHE), which facilitated the generation of superoxide radicals (·O 2− ) and enhanced photocatalytic activity. Among the samples, the BiOI-0.25-60 NSs (synthesized with 0.25 g of mannitol at 60 °C) exhibited the highest performance, characterized by the largest specific surface area (24.46 m 2 /g), optimal band gap energy (2.28 eV), and efficient photogenerated charge separation. Photocatalytic experiments demonstrated that BiOI-0.25-60 NSs achieved superior methylene blue (MB) degradation efficiency of 96.5% under simulated sunlight, 1.14 times higher than BiOI-0-70 NSs. Additionally, BiOI-0.25-60 NSs effectively degraded tetracycline (TC), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-D), and rhodamine B (Rh B). Key factors such as photocatalyst concentration, MB concentration, and solution pH were analyzed, and the BiOI-0.25-60 NSs demonstrated excellent recyclability, retaining over 94.3% of their activity after three cycles. Scavenger tests further identified ·O 2− and h + as the dominant active species driving the photocatalytic process. In this study, the pivotal role of mannitol in modulating the semiconductor characteristics of BiOI nanomaterials is underscored, particularly in promoting the n-type to p-type transition and enhancing photocatalytic efficiency. These findings provide a valuable strategy for designing high-performance p-type photocatalysts for environmental remediation applications.

Here we report two Ruddlesden-Popper type ferrite perovskites (SrO)(LaFeO 3 ) n (n = 1 and 2) which demonstrate p-type semiconductivity. Their crystal structure, optical absorption and other physicochemical properties have been systematically explored. Our results show that both ferrites crystallize in tetragonal symmetry with structural lamination along c axis. Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production has been achieved for both samples under full range and visible light illumination. Better performance is noticed for LaSrFeO 4 with apparent quantum efficiency approaches 0.31% and 0.19% under full range and visible light illumination, respectively. The p-type semiconductivity is verified by their cathodic photocurrent as well as negative Mott-Schottky slop during Photoelectrochemical measurement. The relative lower activity for La 2 SrFe 2 O 7 compared to LaSrFeO 4 is likely due to its higher defect concentration which facilitates charge recombination. Both compounds exhibit anisotropic phenomenon for charge migrations according to theoretical calculations. Their p-type semiconductivity, strong visible light absorption, chemical inertness and high abundance of constituent elements signify promising applications in the field of solar energy conversion and optoelectronics.

Novel monomer TPACz containing carbazole and triphenylamine active groups was synthesized. P(TPACz)/WO 3 coralloid porous electrochromic electrode material were prepared by electropolymerization . The P(TPACz)/WO 3 coralloid porous composite electrode material exhibited independent electrochromic properties in the positive potential range (0−1.7 V) (yellow at neutral state and blue at oxidation state) and negative potential range (−1.8−0 V) with the color of the film changing from yellow to dark blue. At the same time, the electrochemical properties of P(TPACz)/WO 3 composite material ware tested. It is noteworthy that the P(TPACz)/WO 3 coralloid porous electrochromic composite electrode materials exhibit both n-type and p-type doped electrochemical properties . Especially, P(TPACz)/WO 3 exhibit excellent capacitive properties in the n-doped state. According to its GCD curve of P(TPACz)/WO 3 nanocomposite electrode material, the area ratio capacitance is 1.94 mF cm −2 in the positive potential window of 0−0.8 V. And the area ratio capacitance is 33.3 mF cm −2 in the negative potential window of −1.8−0 V. Therefore, the design and effects of the nanocomposite material can broaden application range of electrochromic electrode materials and provide new strategies for energy saving material design.

The effect of substitutional metal dopants in NiOx on the structural and electronic structures is of great interest, particularly for increasing the p-type conductivities as a hole transport layer (HTL) applied in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this paper, experimental fabrications and density functional theory calculations have been carried out on Cd-doped NiOx films to examine the effect of divalent doping on the electronic and geometric structures of NiOx. The results indicate that divalent Cd dopants reduced the formation energy of the Ni vacancy (VNi) and created more VNi in the films, which enhanced the p-type conductivity of the NiOx films. In addition, Cd doping also deepened the valence band edge, reduced the monomolecular Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) recombination losses, and promoted hole extraction and transport. Hence, the PSCs with Cd:NiOx HTLs manifest a high efficiency of 20.47%, a high photocurrent density of 23.00 mA cm–2, and a high fill factor of 79.62%, as well as negligible hysteresis and excellent stability. This work illustrates that divalent elements such as Cd, Zn, Co, etc. may be potential dopants to improve the p-type conductivity of the NiOx films for applications in highly efficient and stabilized PSCs.

Graphene is a promising flexible transparent electrode, and significant progress in graphene-based optoelectronic devices has been accomplished by reducing the sheet resistance and tuning the work function. Herein, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) is proposed as a novel p-type chemical dopant for graphene, and the optical and electrical properties of graphene are investigated systematically. As a result, the monolayer graphene electrode with lower sheet resistance and work function are obtained while maintaining a high transmittance. The Raman spectrum proves the p-type doping effect of PMA on graphene, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results reveal the mechanism, which is that the electrons transfer from graphene to PMA through the Mo–O–C bond. Furthermore, using the PMA-doped graphene anode, organic and perovskite light-emitting diodes obtained the maximum efficiencies of 129.3 and 15.6 cd/A with an increase of 50.8 and 36.8% compared with the pristine counterparts, respectively. This work confirms that PMA is a potential p-type chemical dopant to achieve an ideal graphene electrode and demonstrates the feasibility of PMA-doped graphene in the practical application of next-generation displays and solid-state lighting.
