Abstract

Interface engineering to form an interlayer via ion exchange reaction is reported. A FA0.88 Cs0.12 PbI3 formamidinium (FA) perovskite layer is first prepared, then FAPF6 solution with different concentrations is spin-coated on top of the perovskite film, which leads to a partial substitution of iodide by PF6- ion. The second phase with nominal composition of FA0.88 Cs0.12 PbI3-x (PF6 )x is grown at the grain boundary, which has island morphology and its size depends on the FAPF6 solution concentration. The lattice is expanded and bandgap is reduced due to inclusion of larger PF6- ions. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) is significantly enhanced from 17.8% to 19.3% as a consequence of improved fill factor and open-circuit voltage (Voc ). In addition, current-voltage hysteresis is reduced. Post-treatment with FAPF6 reduces defect density and enhances carrier lifetime, which is responsible for the improved photovoltaic performance and reduced hysteresis. The unencapsulated device with post-treated perovskite film demonstrates better stability than the pristine perovskite, where the initial PCE retains over 80% after 528 h exposure under relative humidity of around 50-70% in the dark and 92% after 360 h under one sun illumination.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
