Article Abstract
Electron-transporting transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are a commercial reality, however, hole-transporting counterparts are far more challenging because of limited material design. Here, we propose a strategy for enhancing the hole conductivity without deteriorating the band gap () and workfunction () by Cu incorporation in a strongly correlated NiWO insulator. The optimal Cu-doped NiWO (CuNiWO) exhibits a resistivity reduction of ∼10 times NiWO as well as band-like charge transport with the hole mobility approaching 7 cm V s at 200 K, a deep of 5.77 eV, and of 2.8 eV. Experimental and theoretical data reveal that the strength of the electron correlation in NiWO is unaffected by Cu incorporation, while the promoted polarizability weakens electron-phonon coupling, promoting the formation of large polarons. Quantum dot light-emitting and oxide p/n junction devices incorporating CuNiWO exhibit remarkable performances, demonstrating that our approach can be deployed to discover new p-type TCOs.

Chemical doping has emerged as a powerful approach for modulating the electronic properties of graphene, and particularly for enabling its integration into advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices. While considerable progress has been made in achieving stable p-type doping, realizing efficient and reliable n-type doping remains a greater challenge due to the inherent instability of most electron-donating dopants and intrinsic semi-metallic nature of pristine graphene. This review summarises the recent developments in n-type chemical doping of graphene films, with a primary focus on substitutional doping and surface charge transfer mechanisms.

CONTEXT AND RESULTS: This study utilizes a first-principles computational approach to examine the elastic, electronic, and optical properties of LiAlTe, a ternary ABC compound. The findings, in close agreement with experimental data, demonstrate the material's strong potential as a p-type transparent conductive material. LiAlTe crystallizes in a tetragonal structure, featuring a tetrahedral arrangement that forms a stable three-dimensional framework.

Cuprous iodide (CuI), as a p-type semiconductor material, holds significant potential for future electronics that integrate transparent, flexible, and thermoelectric applications. Monolayer β-CuI, once regarded as a high-temperature phase, has recently been successfully synthesized at room temperature. However, its thermoelectric properties remain unexplored.

Emitter and transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films are the critical functional layers of extremely promising silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Here, p-type nanocrystalline silicon oxide (nc-SiO:H(p)) are employed as the emitter, replacing the widely used nanocrystalline silicon. The nc-SiO:H shows a mixed-phase structural characteristic of nanocrystalline silicon grains and amorphous silicon oxide, in which the former spans the whole emitter, facilitating the carrier collection.
