Article Abstract

Nowadays, the development of wide-bandgap perovskite by thermal evaporation and spin-coating hybrid sequential deposition (HSD) method has special meaning on textured perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. However, the common issues of insufficient reaction caused by blocking of perovskite capping layer are exacerbated in HSD, because evaporated precursors are usually denser with higher crystallinity and the widely used additive-assisted microstructure is also difficult to access. Here, a facile "diffusible perovskite capping layer" (DPCL) strategy to solve this dilemma is presented. With DPCL, crystallization alleviation of perovskite and more diffusion channels of organic salts can be realized simultaneously, contributing to a homogenization process. The resultant perovskite films exhibit complete conversion, uniform crystallization, enhanced quality, and reduced defect, leading to obvious improvements in device efficiency, repeatability, and stability. This work offers a way to promote the development of textured tandems a step further.

The preparation of multimodal nanoparticles by capping magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with functional organic molecules is a major area of research for biomedical applications. Conjugation reactions, such as carbodiimide coupling and the highly selective class of reactions known as "click chemistry", have been instrumental in tailoring the ligand layers of IONPs to produce functional biomedical nanomaterials. However, few studies report the controls performed to determine if the loading of molecules onto IONPs is due to the proposed coupling reaction(s) employed, or some other unknown interaction with the IONP surface.

Differentiating the 2D Passivation from Amorphous Passivation in Perovskite Solar Cells.

The introduction of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite layers on top of three-dimensional (3D) perovskite films enhances the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the electronic effect of the spacer cation and the quality of the 2D capping layer are critical factors in achieving the required results. In this study, we compared two fluorinated salts: 4-(trifluoromethyl) benzamidine hydrochloride (4TF-BA·HCl) and 4-fluorobenzamidine hydrochloride (4F-BA·HCl) to engineer the 3D/2D perovskite films.

Design of Cu/Zr Alloy Interface for Enhanced Thermal Fatigue Performance in Electronic Packaging.

This study addresses a critical limitation in direct bonded copper (DBC) materials used in power electronics by introducing a copper-zirconium (Cu/Zr) alloy interposing layer at the copper-ceramic interface. This novel design aims to mitigate mechanical stress induced by mismatched material properties, such as the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and elastic modulus, during thermal cycling. The key findings of this study are (1) thermal fatigue improvement: Test samples with the Cu/Zr interface layer (Cu-Cu/Zr-AlN) three times enhanced thermal fatigue resistance, surviving 30 thermal cycles from -55 to 300 °C before delamination, while standard DBC substrates without the Cu/Zr layer failed after just 10 cycles, indicating a performance improvement with the Cu/Zr alloy, (2) durability projections: Based on the Coffin-Manson model, if the upper temperature is capped at 150 °C, the Cu-Cu/Zr-AlN substrates are projected to survive approximately 1372 cycles, underscoring their potential for long-term reliability, and (3) stress mitigation: The Cu/Zr alloy layer bridges the CTE disparity between copper and ceramic, reducing mechanical stress and improving structural integrity across a broad temperature range (-55 to 300 °C).

Background: When using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for single-analyte sensing, recognition is commonly achieved through interactions with capping ligands attached to the QDs surface. These ligands form an organic layer that provides stability in solution and assures selectivity by binding the target analyte via surface functional groups. However, a common analytical challenge arises in the subsequent stage of the QD-based sensing scheme.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) by 2D semiconductors relies on chemical (CM) enhancement driven by charge-transfer (CT) processes in bandgap alignment between molecules and substrates. Unfortunately, the low light absorption and weak conferment in the atomic-layer material limit the enhancement factor of Raman intensity (EFRI). Improving the utilization efficiency of excitation light is therefore essential for promoting SERS performance of 2D semiconductors.
