Engineering CdS buffer layer for high efficiency kesterite solar cells by Shareen Naomi

“…Copper zinc tin sulfide (kesterite, Cu2ZnSnS4, CZTS) is a promising earth-abundant and non-toxic material for thin-film solar cells. The efficiency of CZTS solar cells can be further improved by reducing the JSC loss due to the parasitic absorption of short wavelength (<520 nm) photons in thick CdS that reduces the light absorbed by CZTS. …”

Spatial and temporal localization of cell wall associated pili in Enterococcus Faecalis by Choo, Pei Yi

“…The current paradigm for virulence factor assembly in Gram-positive bacteria is that Sortase A recognizes and cleaves at the LPXTG motif within its substrates and covalently attaches them to the growing cell wall at sites of new cell wall synthesis. While the cell wall anchoring mechanism and polymerization of Ebp is well characterized, less is known about the spatial and temporal deposition of this protein on the cell surface. …”
