Theory of Layered-Oxide Cathode Degradation in Li-ion Batteries by Oxidation-Induced Cation Disorder by Zhuang, Debbie, Bazant, Martin Z

“…We develop a general free energy model for layered-oxide ion-intercalation materials as a function of the degree of disorder, which represents the density of defects in the host crystal. The model accounts for defect core energies, long-range dipolar electrostatic forces, and configurational entropy of the solid solution. …”

Dual role of Cu-chalcogenide as hole-transporting layer and interface passivator for p–i–n architecture perovskite solar cell by Sadhu, Anupam, Rai, Monika, Salim, Teddy, Jin, Xin, Tan, Joel Ming Rui, Leow, Shin Woei, Ahmed, Mahmoud Gamal, Magdassi, Shlomo, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…The incorporation of an appropriate functional group such as sulfur-terminated surface on the HTL can enhance the interface quality due to its interaction with perovskite during the crystallization process. In this work, a bifunctional Al-doped CuS film is wet-deposited as HTL in p–i–n architecture PSC, which besides acting as an HTL also improves the crystallization of perovskite at the interface. …”
