Optoelectronic and Energy Level Exploration of Bismuth and Antimony-Based Materials for Lead-Free Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Hiroyuki Kanda, Inés Garcia Benito, Ryosuke Nishikubo

Bismuth- and antimony-based materials, such as A(3)M(2)X(9) and AMSX(2) (A = cation, M = Bi, Sb, S = sulfur, X = halogen), are promising candidates as the counterpart to lead halide perovskite. However, the large number of different compositions and crysta ...

Side-chain engineering of PEDOT derivatives as dopant-free hole-transporting materials for efficient and stable n-i-p structured perovskite solar cells

Xiaoqing Jiang, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Low-cost poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and its derivatives have been widely used as hole-transporting materials (HTMs) in p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, reports on the use of PEDOT-based HTMs in regular PSCs have been rather limit ...

Tailoring thermal properties of functional materials

Xavier François Mettan

Thermal conductivity (k) plays an essential role in functional devices. In some cases, high value is required to transfer heat efficiently. In others, low k assists in maintaining a temperature gradient necessary for device operation. It is profitable to d ...

Doping effect on the thermoelectric transport properties of HfTe5

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Junfeng Hu

We studied the influence of doping HfTe5 with 5% Ti on electric (resistivity and the Hall effect) and thermoelectric transport properties (the Seebeck coefficient, magneto-thermoelectric power, and Nernst effect). The properties of 5% Ti-doped HfTe5 do not ...

Production of phosphorene nanoribbons

Vasiliki Tileli

Phosphorene is a mono-elemental, two-dimensional (2D) substance with outstanding, highly directional properties and a bandgap that depends on the number of layers of the material(1-8). Nanoribbons, meanwhile, combine the flexibility and unidirectional prop ...
