The electron-ion coupling in iontronics has great significance and potential for energy conversion and storage devices. However, it is a substantial challenge to integrate iontronics into all-solid-state semiconductor circuits and explore the electron-ion coupling in semiconductor devices. Here, by utilizing the organic-inorganic halide perovskite, we fabricate a planar heterojunction with a gradient distribution of halide anions. The diode-like halide migration was investigated by bias voltage induced asymmetric blue shift in photoluminescence spectrum. This pseudo-ionic diode behaviour was found to result from asymmetric charge injection characterized by I–V curves and gradient-halides-induced vacancy hopping indicated by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The planar gradient perovskite heterojunction provides a viable route for extending iontronic devices into the regime of all-solid-state semiconductors.

A series of hierarchical nanosheet array-like Co–Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrid supported ultrafine PdCu nanocluster (NC) catalysts m-PdCux/LDHs/rGO (x: Cu/Pd molar ratio of 1.5, 3.0, and 5.5; m: Pd loadings of ∼0.80, 0.40, 0.11, and 0.01 wt %) were assembled via an ultrasonic-assisted NaBH4 reduction–sol immobilization strategy. The as-obtained catalysts display ultrafine PdCu alloy NCs with sizes of ∼0.9–1.8 nm finely tuned by both Cu/Pd ratios and Pd loadings and mainly distributed on the edge sites of LDH nanosheets and part of LDHs–rGO junctions upon the unique hierarchical nanosheet array-like structure. Three catalysts 0.85-PdCu1.5/LDHs/rGO, 0.83-PdCu3.0/LDHs/rGO, and 0.80-PdCu5.5/LDHs/rGO exhibit excellent Heck reactivity for iodobenzene with styrene, of which the 0.83-PdCu3.0/LDHs/rGO shows the highest activity, much higher than Pd/LDHs/rGO and single LDHs or GO supported PdCu3.0 catalysts, attributed to the ultrafine PdCu3.0 NCs, the largest electron density of the Pd0 center, and the strongest PdCu3.0 NCs–LDHs–rGO three-phase synergistic effect. The lowest Pd-loading sample 0.01-PdCu3.0/LDHs/rGO shows an unprecedented turnover frequency of 210 000 h–1 (Pd dosage: 2 × 10–5 mol %) with the highest value so far, excellent adaptability for substrates, and reusability. The present work provides a versatile method for designing hierarchically structured ultrafine Pd–M alloy NC catalysts for varied catalysis processes.

Among deposition methods, ultrasonic spray-coating has particularly strong potential for large-scale production due to its low cost and capability to produce thin films with large-scale areas for industrial applications. In this work, SnO2 electron transport layers (ETLs) were successfully prepared via ultrasonic spray-coating at a low temperature. A series of spraying parameters were optimized to adjust the drying process. Finally, compact pinhole-free ETLs with high transmittance and preeminent electron migration efficiency were obtained. The small-area perovskite solar cells (PSCs) (0.29 cm2) were fabricated based on the aforesaid SnO2 ETLs exhibiting a distinguished power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.72%. More than 85% of the original PCE was retained after the cells were stored in a drying tower (room temperature (RT), 30% relative humidity (RH)) for 1000 h without encapsulation, which reflects the remarkable stability of the devices. Moreover, minimodules (4 cm × 4 cm) were also fabricated successfully with a PCE of 10.57%.

Polycrystalline organometal halide perovskite films have been recently exploited as the active layer in artificial synapses, demonstrating the basic functional emulation of biological synapses. However, for the implementation of neuromorphic computing and bioinspired intelligent systems, full synapse-like functionality with a simple structure and extremely low energy consumption are of crucial importance. Here, a modified thickness-confined surfactant-assistant self-assembly strategy is proposed to synthesize CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 single-crystalline thin platelets (SCTPs) and a two-terminal lateral-structured synaptic device with ultralow operating current down to sub-pA is fabricated. Essential synaptic behaviors are realized, including paired-pulse facilitation, spike-dependent plasticity, transition from sensory memory to short-term memory and potentiation/depression. Furthermore, the activity-dependent plasticity is also demonstrated on the SCTP-based artificial synapse, which may enable nociceptors to detect intense external harm. These results provide a new protocol for designing lateral-structured synaptic devices based on hybrid perovskite SCTPs and future neuromorphic bioelectronics.

We use a two-step spin-coating method to construct efficient and non-hysteresis planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The influence of solvent environment on the precursor configuration, perovskite crystallization kinetics , and photoelectric properties of the PSCs are systematically studied, resulting in novel insights into the function of dimethyl sulfoxide/dimethylformamide (DMSO/DMF) blend solvent (BS). The DMSO/DMF BS promotes the construction of porous “rod-like” precursor film, which provides sufficient space for lattice expansion and orientation selection during perovskite growth, thus producing high-quality perovskite absorbers with high crystallinity . Moreover, DMSO/DMF BS also induces the formation of amorphous lead chloride (PbCl 2 ) and stores it in the final perovskite film, effectively passivating perovskite defects, extending carrier lifetime, and significantly improving device performance. As a result, a DMSO/DMF-based planar PSC is prepared with reverse efficiency of 19.69% and forward efficiency of 19.54%. Moreover, devices show a good stability over 500 h and reproducibility in 20 pieces fabricated with the same procedure. This study provides a new concept for the preparation of high-quality perovskite absorbers and highly efficient planar PSCs, and represents an important contribution toward determining the potential influence of solvent engineering on perovskite crystallization kinetics.

To identify the effect of solvents and anthracene on the purification of carbazole, the solvent crystallization of carbazole was investigated with xylene, chlorobenzene and tetrachloroethylene (TCE) as solvents under two forced circulation cooling (FCC) modes. The co-crystalline experimental data were obtained from runs carried out at different anthracene levels between 1% (mass) and 10% (mass). The results showed that a uniform flake carbazole crystal obtained when using xylene and chlorobenzene under the FCC-1 mode with gradual cooling rate. Nevertheless, fine flake crystals grown under shock cooling of FCC-2 mode. It is beneficial to improving the purity of carbazole with chlorobenzene as solvent under cooling mode of FCC-1. Anthracene could promote the growth of carbazole in solution, and it has a significant influence on the purification of carbazole.

This work presents a novel integrated solar cell with non-toxic copper indium disulfide (CuInS 2 ) nanocrystals (NCs) and stacked polymer bulk heterojunction. This parallel tandem structure avoids the use of the additional interlayer. Through the morphology, structure characterization, and optical property of the prepared CuInS 2 NCs film and CuInS 2 /P3HT:PCBM integrated structure, it is demonstrated that the CuInS 2 NCs layers in the integrated solar cells are multifunctional, which not only act as a strong light absorber but also an efficient hole transporter. Compared to the neat polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells, the photovoltaic performance of the integrated solar cells has been improved.

Alkali metal bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) modification of TiO 2 electron transport layer (ETL) has been widely adopted to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), however, only a handful of investigations have proposed some corresponding mechanisms, and more in-depth investigations are urgent. In this investigation, Li-TFSI and K-TFSI were adopted to modify mesoporous TiO 2 (me-TiO 2 ) ETL of PSCs, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , photoluminescence spectrum, space-charge limited current, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were performed to investigate the modification mechanisms. Alkali metal-TFSI modification could passivate the oxygen vacancies in me-TiO 2 ETL and suppress the charge recombination effectively, improve the contact between me-TiO 2 ETL and perovskite layer and increase the conductivity of me-TiO 2 ETL which lead to rapid charge extraction and transfer at ETL/perovskite interface and balance the electron flux and hole flux in devices. Moreover, sulfates induced by alkali metal-TFSI act as nucleation sites in the crystallization process of perovskite which could increase the grain size and improve the uniformity of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 films obviously, and it is a positive factor for suppressing charge recombination and improving the cell performance. As a result, the power conversion efficiencies of the champion devices for Li-TFSI and K-TFSI modified PSCs have reached 20.02% and 19.64%, respectively.

Guanidinium (GA) cations are intentionally introduced in MAPbI 3 perovskite by considering its potential capability of stabilizing the material through plenty of hydrogen bonds and mitigating hysteresis because of the zero dipole moment. The configurations of GA cation in film and its effects on structural, optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties of perovskite have been comprehensively studied by systematically modulating the GA ratio. It has been demonstrated that moderate GA cations can effectively passivate the defect surrounding perovskite grains, yielding an enhanced efficiency as high as ~19.2% in a p-i-n type planar solar cells with the GA ratio of 15%. Further increasing the GA ratio deteriorates device performance, as extra GA cations hinder grain growth and thus reduce the grain size, which facilitates the defect generation around the enhanced interface. Moreover, a new two-dimensional (2D) layered perovskite phase that features alternating GA and MA cations in the interlayer space (ACI) appears ultimately, while the ACI phase typically suffers from slow charge transportation across the parallel PbI 2 octahedral layers separated by large A-site cations.

To regulate the optical and electrical properties of the crystals and films of the intrinsic methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3), we dope them with sodium (Na) by selecting sodium iodide (NaI) as a dopant source. The highly conductive p-type sodium-doped CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3: Na) perovskite single crystals and thin films are successfully grown using the inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) method and antisolvent spin-coating (ASC) method, respectively. With the increase of Na+ doping concentration, the grain size of the film increases, the surface becomes smoother, and the crystallinity improves. Hall effect results demonstrate that both the MAPbI3: Na thin films and single crystals change their quasi-insulating intrinsic conductivity to a highly conductive p-type conductivity. The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) peaks of doped MAPbI3 films slightly blue shift, while the photocarriers' lifetime becomes longer. The optical fingerprints of the doped levels in MAPbI3: Na perovskites can be identified by temperature-dependent PL. Obvious fingerprints of Na-related acceptor (A0X) levels in the doped MAPbI3: Na were observed at 10 K. These results suggest that sodium doping is an effective way to grow highly conductive p-type MAPbI3 perovskites.

Low energy density is a fatal disadvantage of electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC). The improvement of the operation voltage of EDLCs is a more effective method to increase the energy density of EDLCs. When the operation voltage of EDLCs is higher than 2.7 V, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of electrode materials (porous carbon) will decompose or chemically react with the electrolyte, causing significant deterioration of EDLC performance. In this paper, porous carbon with low oxygen content is prepared by using the potassium-assisted carbonization of chlorobenzene in Ar/H 2 mixed gas to improve withstanding voltage characteristic of porous carbon. By constructing a relatively closed and stable pyrolysis environment (employing the nickel crucible with a lid), using the carbonaceous precursor without oxygen atoms (chlorobenzene) and selecting reasonable carbonization operation atmosphere (Ar/H 2 ), the oxygen content of the as-prepared porous carbon (PC-KC-1000) is only 4.02 wt%. When the PC-KC-1000 sample is used as the electrode material of EDLCs, the operation voltage of EDLCs in the TEABF 4 /PC and EMIMBF 4 electrolytes is respectively 3.3 and 3.5 V, and the maximum energy density is respectively 53.5 and 64.4 Wh kg −1 . This strategy provides a new idea for the preparation of porous carbon with low oxygen content.

ABSTRACT In recent years, the combination of perovskites with other materials to improve the photoelectric performance has received widespread attention. In this work, we demonstrate a hybrid heterostructure photodetector with the combination of GaN microwire array and perovskite. Compared to perovskite and GaN microwire array photodetectors, the hybrid CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3- x Cl x /GaN microwire array photodetector exhibits more excellent photoelectric performances in a wide detection range from ultraviolet to visible. Under 325 nm laser irradiation, the hybrid photodetector generates a large photocurrent (1.04 ×10 -5 A), a high on/off ratio (>10 4 ), a fast response time (raise time of 0.66 ms and decay time of 0.71 ms), and higher responsivity , detectivity. Meanwhile, when the perovskite is combined with the GaN microwire array, the device also has a higher photocurrent, on/off ratio, and faster photoresponse compared with the perovskite photodetector in the visible light region. This is interpreted as the effective separation photogenerated carriers at the hetero-interface, and the directional transfer of carriers within the one-dimensional GaN microwire array. This study sheds light on fabricating high-performance heterostructures photodetectors.
