Abstract Developing novel techniques for depositing transition metal dichalcogenides is crucial the industrial adoption of 2D materials in optoelectronics. In this work, lateral growth molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) over an insulating surface demonstrated using electrochemical deposition. By fabricating a new type microelectrodes, MoS films grown from TiN electrodes across opposite sides are connected substrate, hence, forming device structure through only one lithography and deposition step....

A series of printable UV emitting ionic bifluorene derivatives have been prepared incorporating pendent alkylimidazolium groups. Herein, we detail the synthesis compounds and methods used in device fabrication. We show how ink formulation is improved by increasing solubility active through extension alkyl chain length switching counter ion from PF6− to CF3SO3−. also organic light electrochemical cells (OLECs) can be fabricated spray coating achieve an layer with a thickness ∼150–200 nm,...

Despite the advances in solar cells based on lead halide perovskites, nature of photogenerated charges and trap states within these materials remains unclear. A model describing recombination CH3NH3PbI3–xClx has been developed that accounts for phonon-assisted free-exciton free-carrier trapping. We utilize optical spectroscopies observe significant co-existence tetragonal orthorhombic structural phases at low temperatures. From measurements, we evaluate longitudinal–optical phonon energy,...

Multi-junction solar cells, according to the detailed balance limit, should be able achieve efficiencies above 50 percent. Work on new materials is necessary for improvements beyond current state of art. In this work, we evaluate use GaAsSbN, which has shown promise multi-junction particularly targeting 1eV cell. Epitaxial growth material in work been achieved via liquid phase epitaxy, as it can produce high quality crystalline layers. We present our initial and characterization results a...

Perovskite nanocrystals of the form FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> display significant promise in field optoelectronics. In particular, these could bridge `green gap' LED technology, and also serve to down-convert ultraviolet light for harvesting using silicon-based photovoltaic cells. To remain competitive with traditional devices, optimising energy transfer between nanocrystal device is crucial, however very little investigation has been performed into this subject. Here, we characterise dynamics on a...
