Fluoride capping prevents the oxidation product from inhibiting CeO<sub>2</sub> nanozyme, and increases oxygen vacancy concentration for more efficient catalysis.
Applications of self-driven optoelectronic devices based on a wide array organolead halide perovskites.
A commodity-scale polymer is used for controlling the nucleation and growth of single crystals organolead halide perovskite. The [polystyrene (PS)] cross-links strongly interacts with PbI2 MAI (MAPbI3 perovskite precursors) resulting in control crystallization process. PS concentration modulates time, crystal size, number crystals. In addition, PS-based MAPbI3 show an enhanced performance as well improved thermal environmental stability. Specifically, PS-MAPbI3 3 times higher photocurrent...
The integration of polymer chains with organolead halide perovskite (MAPbI3) films, leading to enhanced stability and electro-optical performance, is critically affected by the molecular weight chains. determines mobility volume chains, which affects crystallization kinetics and, hence, grain size. insulating nature another critical factor that both ion migration conduction electronic charge. combined effect these factors leads optimal performance use medium-length A simple model integrating...

In this study, the internal and external stabilities of a p–i–n methylammonium lead iodide perovskite solar cell (PSC) are improved. Polystyrene (PS) is introduced into layer to form cross‐linked polymer–perovskite network, which enhances nucleation growth grains. Moreover, for first time, 60 nm thick ZnO/AlO x nanolaminate (NL) thin‐film encapsulation (TFE) deposited directly on PSC using an atmospheric‐pressure (AP) spatial atomic deposition system operated in AP chemical vapor (AP–SCVD)...
The rigid and brittle nature of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) polycrystalline films limits their application in stretchable devices due to rapid deterioration performance on cycling. By incorporation polymer chains the MAPbI3 films, a strategy alter mechanical modulus viscoelastic has been developed. Combining this with flexible nanochain electrodes, highly stable perovskite have fabricated. resultant polymer-MAPbI3 photodetector exhibits ultralow dark currents (∼10-11 A) high light...
The polymer additive strategy provides a facile and cost-effective way for passivating defects trap sites at the grain boundaries interfaces acting as barrier against external degradation factors in perovskite-based devices. However, limited literature exists discussing integration of hydrophobic hydrophilic additives form copolymer within perovskite films. inherent difference chemical structure these polymers their interaction with components environment leads to critical differences...
Organometal halide perovskite (OHP) composites are flexible and easy to synthesize, making them ideal for ambient mechanical energy harvesting. Yet, the output current density from piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) remains orders of magnitude lower than their ceramic counterparts. In prior composites, high permittivity nanoparticles enhance dielectric constant (ϵr) but reduce strength (Eb). This guides our design: increase by ϵr nanoparticle while enhancing Eb optimizing structure....
