If using the AFM alone, one cannot observe that only one of these surfaces has a successful monolayer. Photo-induced Force ...

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) represent a pivotal class of nanostructured coatings that enable the controlled modification of surface properties through the spontaneous organization of molecular ...

Capillary forces, arising from the surface tension of liquids, have emerged as a versatile mechanism in the microfabrication of advanced microsystems. By harnessing the thermodynamic drive of liquids ...

Molecularly engineered ultrathin films enhance efficiency and stability in perovskite solar cells by aligning energy levels precisely, offering an alternative to conventional electron transport layers ...

A group of researchers from China's Hangzhou Dianzi University has developed an inverted perovskite solar cell based on a hole transport layer (HTL) with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) aimed at ...

(Nanowerk News) Miniaturization is one of the fundamental qualities of modern electronics and is largely responsible for the incredible increments in performance witnessed over the past decades. To ...

In a new scientific paper published in nature, the Chinese manufacturer presented a new tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell based on a bottom cell with a heterojunction design. It also used a new ...
