Abstract Microneedles are emerging as a minimally invasive drug delivery alternative to hypodermic needles. Current material systems utilized in microneedles impose constraints hindering the further development of this technology. In particular, it is difficult preserve sensitive biochemical compounds (such pharmaceuticals) during processing single microneedle system and subsequently achieve their controlled release. A possible solution involves fabricating from biomaterial silk fibroin....

Carrier recombination at the interface between charge extraction layers and perovskite photoactive layer in solar cells reduces quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS) hence device's open-circuit voltage (VOC). Distinguishing interfacial carrier requires selective probing of dynamics with transient optical spectroscopy techniques. However, bulk recombination, all contribute to response, making a precise determination individual rates challenging. Here, we compare two commonly used hole transport...
