Perovskite solar cells have rapidly been developed over the past several years. Choice of the most suitable solar cell structure is crucial to improve the performance further. Here, we attempt to determine an optimum cell structure for methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite sandwiched by "2 and spiro-OMeTAD layers, among planar heterojunction, mesoporous structure, and extremely thin absor

The exploitation of singlet fission (SF) materials in optoelectronic devices is restricted by the limited number of SF materials available and developing new organic materials that undergo singlet fission is a significant challenge. Using a new strategy based on conjugating strong donor and acceptor building blocks, the small molecule (BDT(DPP)2) and polymer (p-BDT-DPP) systems are designed and sy

Elucidation of interfacial charge separation and recombination mechanisms is crucial to improve performance of organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells. Here, we have investigated influence of initially populated electron and hole potential levels in a perovskite conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB), respectively, by altering an excitation wavelength on interfacial charge separa

Atomically thin semiconductors are one of the fastest growing categories in materials science due to their promise to enable high-performance electronic and optical devices. Furthermore, a host of intriguing phenomena have been reported to occur when a semiconductor is confined within two dimensions. However, the synthesis of large area atomically thin materials remains as a significant technologi

Insertion of interfacial molecules in bulk heterojunction and dye sensitized solar cells is effective to retard charge recombination reactions and thus to improve solar cell performance. So far, to extend charge separated state lifetime, the molecule was designed to increase distance between an n-type and a p-type semiconductors to reduce their electronic coupling. Here we investigated a series of

Performance of nanoporous TiO2 based lead iodide perovskite solar cells was investigated under a series of light intensity up to 1.2 sun. The short circuit photocurrent increases linearly with the intensity increase, while the fill factor slightly decreases with the intensity increase. The analysis of logarithmic light intensity dependence of the open circuit voltage revealed a slope of 1.09 kT/q,

We successfully synthesized a hetero face-to-face porphyrin array composed of ZnTPP and RuTPP(DABCO)2 (TPP: 5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphyrin, DABCO: 1,4-diazabi-cyclo[2.2.2]octane) in 2:1 molar ratio. A cyclic Zn porphyrin dimer (ZnCP) was also used as the host molecule for the Ru porphyrin. In the latter, the Ru-DABCO bonding in RuTPP(DABCO)2 was stabilized by the host-guest complexation. React

PbS quantum dots (QDs) are some of the most attractive QDs used to develop novel optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, photodetectors and biological labels. However, identifying an appropriate method to access high quality QDs with a wide size range employing lower cost, less toxic and safer precursors is not trivial. Here, we demonstrate the diffusion controlled synthesis of size-tunable Pb

Photo-excitation intensity dependent electron and hole injections from CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite to nanocrystalline TiO2 and spiro-OMeTAD are presented with the electron injection yield decrease from 95% to 10% and the hole injection yield decrease from 99% to 50% by increasing the excitation intensity from 10 nJ cm-2 to 50 μJ cm-2.

Looking at the mouth region is thought to be a useful strategy for speech-perception tasks. The tendency to look at the eyes versus the mouth of another person during speech processing has thus far mainly been studied using screen-based paradigms. In this study, we estimated the eye-mouth-index (EMI) of 38 adult participants in a live setting. Participants were seated across the table from an expe

Insect and disease outbreaks in forests are biotic disturbances that can profoundly alter ecosystem dynamics. In many parts of the world, these disturbance regimes are intensifying as the climate changes and shifts the distribution of species and biomes. As a result, key forest ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, regulation of water flows, wood production, protection of soils, and th

Abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins are known to be a major indicator of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) with strong association with memory loss and cognitive decline. Automated generation of pixel-wise accurate neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuropil threads (NTs) segmentation is a challenging task, due to lack of ground truth segmentation data of these abnormal tau pathology. This problem is mo

Dehydrogenation reactions that produce molecular hydrogen are thermodynamically unfavourable. Desired is to couple them with a green driving force, such as oxidation with oxygen or an electric current. This, in turn, requires understanding of the catalyst's redox properties. Here we report oxidation of the iridium pincer complexes (POCOP)IrHCl (POCOP = 2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3; 1a) and (PCP)IrHCl (PCP =

Background: Anterior resection (AR) is considered the gold standard for curative cancer treatment in the middle and upper rectum. The goal of the sphincter-preserving procedure, such as AR, is vulnerable to anastomotic leak (AL) complications. Defunctioning stoma (DS) became the protective measure against AL. Often a defunctioning loop-ileostomy is used, which is associated with substantial morbid

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a biologically and clinically heterogeneous disease, emphasizing the need for prognostic biomarkers. In this study we aimed at comparing the prognostic value of two RNA-based risk scores, circSCORE and MCL35, in 149 patients from the MCL2 (ISRCTN87866680) and MCL3 (NCT00514475) patient cohorts. Both risk scores provided significant stratification of high versus low ri

Collecting and utilizing data in industrial production are becoming increasingly important. One promising approach to utilize data is the concept of digital twin (DT). DTs are virtual representations of physical assets, updated by real data and enhanced by models. This paper provides an overview of DTs for cutting processes. After giving a definition, we discuss requirements derived from represent
