Reaction mechanisms of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethanolamine in the precursor solution for producing (K, Na)NbO3 thin films with outstanding piezoelectric properties by Goh, Phoi Chin, Yao, Kui, Chen, Zhong

“…X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) were used to analyze the interactions among EDTA, DEA, and metal cations in both precursor solutions and amorphous films. XPS analyses showed that the oxidation states of potassium, niobium, and oxygen in KNN amorphous film were enhanced with addition of EDTA and DEA in the precursor solution, which shifted closer to the oxidation states in the perovskite phase of the resulting KNN oxide film. …”

Towards high efficiency thin film solar cells by Han, Guifang, Zhang, Sam, Boix, Pablo P., Wong, Lydia Helena, Sun, Lidong, Lien, Shui-Yang

“…The emerging organic-inorganic halide perovskite systems, as well as the rapidly developed polycrystalline inorganic systems, organic photovoltaics and amorphous silicon cells are discussed in details. The biggest bottleneck for the cost-effective polycrystalline inorganic cells is the composition sensitivity and deep defects; for amorphous silicon cells, it is the quantum of the dangling bonds; for organic cells, it is the low charge carrier mobility and high exciton binding energy; and for perovskite cells, it is the environmental degradation and the controversial mechanisms of generation of I-V hysteresis. …”
