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. …”

Design, characterization and properties of nitrogen-containing novel organic N-type materials by Wu, Yuechao.

“…In past decades,organic semiconductors have caused a lot of interests because of their potential applications in field-effect transistors(FET),organic-light-emitting devices(OLED)and photovoltaic cells.Among them,developing high-efficient n-type organic materials for organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)is very urgent.Currently, p-type organic semiconductors are well-developed and their mobility can go as high as4.8 cm2V-1S-1.Since p-type and n-type materials are equally important for the fabrication of p-n junctions and complementary logic circuits,the demand to find the promising n-type counterparts is necessary. …”
