For methylammonium lead iodide perovskite solar cells prepared by co-evaporation, power conversion efficiencies of over 20% have been already demonstrated, however, so far, only in n-i-p configuration. Currently, the overall major challenges are the complex evaporation characteristics of organic precursors that strongly depend on the underlying charge selective contacts and the insufficient reproducibility of the co-evaporation process. To ensure a reliable co-evaporation process, it is important to identify the impact of different parameters in order to develop a more detailed understanding. In this work, we study the influence of the substrate temperature, underlying hole-transport layer (polymer PTAA versus self-assembling monolayer molecule MeO-2PACz), and perovskite precursor ratio on the morphology, composition, and performance of co-evaporated p-i-n perovskite solar cells. We first analyze the evaporation of pure precursor materials and show that the adhesion of methylammonium iodide (MAI) is significaeported PCE above 20% for evaporated perovskite solar cells in p-i-n architecture.The rapid development of a NH3 sensor puts forward a great challenge for active materials and integrated sensing systems. In this work, an ultrasensitive NH3 sensor based on two-dimensional (2D) wormlike mesoporous polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (w-mPPy@rGO) heterostructures, synthesized by a universal soft template method is reported, revealing the structure-property coupling effect of the w-mPPy/rGO heterostructure for sensing performance improvement, and demonstrates great potential in the integration of a self-powered sensor system. Remarkably, the 2D w-mPPy@rGO heterostructrure exhibits preferable response toward NH3 (ΔR/R0 = 45% for 10 ppm NH3 with a detection limit of 41 ppb) than those of the spherical mesoporous hybrid (s-mPPy@rGO) and the nonporous hybrid (n-PPy@rGO) due to its large specific surface area (193 m2/g), which guarantees fast gas diffusion and transport of carriers. Moreover, the w-mPPy@rGO heterostructures display outstanding selectivity to common volatile organic compounds (VOCs), H2S, and CO, prominent antihumidity inteference superior to most existing chemosensors, superior reversibility and favorable repeatability, providing high potential for practicability. Thus, a self-powered sensor system composed of a nanogenerator, a lithium-ion battery, and a w-mPPy@rGO-based sensor was fabricated to realize wireless, portable, cost-effective, and light-weight NH3 monitoring. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Obatoclax-Mesylate.html Impressively, our self-powered sensor system exhibits high response toward 5-40 mg NH4NO3, which is a common explosive to generate NH3 via alkaline hydrolysis, rendering it a highly prospective technique in a NH3-based sensing field.Every year, millions of tons of CO2 are stored in CO2-storage formations (deep saline aquifers) containing traces of organic acids including hexanoic acid C6 (HA), lauric acid C12 (LuA), stearic acid C18 (SA), and lignoceric acid C24 (LiA). The presence of these molecules in deep saline aquifers is well documented in the literature; however, their impact on the structural trapping capacity and thus on containment security is not yet understood. In this study, we therefore investigate as to how an increase in organic acid concentration can alter mica water wettability through an extensive set of experiments. X-ray diffraction (Figure S2), field emission scanning electron microscopy, total organic carbon analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were utilized to perceive the variations in organic acid surface coverage with stepwise organic acid concentration increase and changes in surface roughness. Furthermore, thresholds of wettability that may indicate limits for structural trapping potential (θr less then 90°) have been discussed. The experimental results show that even a minute concentration (∼10-5 mol/L for structural trapping) of lignoceric acid is enough to affect the CO2 trapping capacity at 323 K and 25 MPa. As higher concentrations exist in deep saline aquifers, it is necessary to account for these thresholds to derisk CO2-geological storage projects.Li-rich, manganese-based cathode materials are attractive candidates for Li-ion batteries because of their excellent capacity, but poor rate and cycle performance have limited their commercial applications. Herein, Li-rich, manganese-based cathode materials were modified with aluminum isopropoxide as an aluminum source modifier using a sol-gel technique followed by a wet chemical method. To investigate the structure, morphology, electronic state, and elemental composition of both pristine- and surface-modified Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2, various characterizations were performed. Based on density functional theory simulations and the results of electrochemical tests, the surface of the modified cathode material was found to contain at least part of the LiAlO2 phase. This was attributed to the aluminum isopropoxide reacting with a Li2CO3/LiOH byproduct on the material surface to form LiAlO2 with a three-dimensional Li-ion channel structure. Electrochemical testing revealed that a 3 wt % aluminum isopropoxide coating of cathode materials exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. Furthermore, the initial Coulombic efficiency and discharge capacity at 0.1 C were up to 88.55% and 272.7 mAh g-1, respectively. A final discharge capacity of 186.4 mAh g-1 was achieved, corresponding to a capacity retention of 83.55% after 300 cycles at 0.5 C. This was attributed to LiAlO2 partially accelerating the diffusion of Li ions and Al2O3 aiding the avoidance of side reactions in the mixed coating layer by partially protecting the structure.The low sheet resistance and high optical transparency of silver nanowires (AgNWs) make them a promising candidate for use as the flexible transparent electrode of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In a perovskite LED (PeLED), however, the AgNW electrode can react with the overlying perovskite material by redox reactions, which limit the electroluminescence efficiency of the PeLED by causing the degradation of and generating defect states in the perovskite material. In this study, we prepared Ag-Ni core-shell NW electrodes using the solution-electroplating technique to realize highly efficient PeLEDs based on colloidal formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3) nanoparticles (NPs). Solvated Ni ions from the NiSO4 source were deposited onto the surface of AgNW networks in three steps (i) cathodic cleaning, (ii) adsorption of the Ni-ion complex onto the AgNW surface, and (iii) uniform electrodeposition of Ni. An ultrathin (∼3.5 nm) Ni layer was uniformly deposited onto the AgNW surface, which exhibited a sheet resistance of 16.
