The formation...
Nanoscale metal borides, with exceptional physicochemical properties, have been attracted widespread attention. However, traditional synthesis methods of borides often lead to surface coking and large particle sizes. Herein, we employed a flash Joule heating (FJH) technique enable the ultrafast boride nanomaterials.

Pristine fullerene C60 is an excellent electron transport material for state-of-the-art inverted structure perovskite solar cells (PSCs), but its low solubility leaves thermal evaporation as the only method depositing it into a high-quality layer (ETL). To address this problem, we herein introduce highly soluble bowl-shaped additive, corannulene, to assist in -assembly smooth and compact film through favorable bowl-ball interaction. Our results show that not corannulene can dramatically...
