Abstract At present, the dominating electron transport material (ETL) and hole (HTL) used in state‐of‐the‐art perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are tin oxide 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis(N,N‐di‐p‐methoxyphenyl‐amine)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (Spiro‐OMeTAD). However, surface hydroxyl groups of SnO 2 layer Li + ions within Spiro‐OMeTAD HTL generally cause charge recombination migration, significantly reducing devices' performance stability. Here, a molecule bridging 3,5‐bis(fluorosulfonyl)benzoic acid (FBA) is...

Sleep staging is a key method for assessing sleep quality and diagnosing disorders. However, current deep learning methods face challenges: 1) postfusion techniques ignore the varying contributions of different modalities; 2) unprocessed data can interfere with frequency-domain information. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes gated multimodal temporal neural network multidomain data, including heart rate, motion, steps, EEG (Fpz-Cz, Pz-Oz), EOG from WristHR-Motion-Sleep SleepEDF-78....
