Abstract Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) have the potential to serve as energy-harvesting windows in buildings. Although recent advances nanotechnology led emergence of novel fluorophores such quantum dots, perovskites and others, commercialization functional glass remains immature due an insufficient power conversion efficiency. In other words, improvements alone cannot fully maximize LSCs. Here we introduce a new laminated type LSC structure where patterned low-refractive-index...
Since the introduction of inorganic ZnO, typically in form nanoparticles (NPs), as an electron transport layer (ETL) material, device performance electrically driven colloidal quantum dot-light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), particular, with either Cd-based II–VI or non-Cd-based III–V (e.g., InP) dot (QD) visible-emitters, has been rapidly improved. In present work, three Zn1–xMgxO (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1) NPs that possess different electronic energy levels are applied ETLs solution-processed,...
We have studied the electrical stability of organic poly-4-vinyl phenol (PVP)/inorganic oxide bilayer gate dielectrics for low-voltage pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs). Curing conditions spin-cast PVP influence on drain current-gate bias hysteresis behavior; long term curing reduces magnitude hysteresis, which can also be reduced by decreasing thickness. The electron charge injection from electrode plays as another cause hysteresis. These instabilities are categorized into following...
Crack-based strain sensor systems have been known for its high sensitivity, but suffer from the small fracture of thin metal films employed in which results negligible stretchability. Herein, we fabricated a transparent (>90% at 550 nm wavelength), stretchable (up to 100%), and sensitive (gauge factor (GF) 30 100% strain) gauge by depositing an encapsulated crack-induced Ag nanowire (AgNW) network on hydroxylated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) film. Stretching AgNWs/PDMS resulted formation...
Because of outstanding optical properties and non‐vacuum solution processability colloidal quantum dot (QD) semiconductors, many researchers have developed various light emitting diodes (LEDs) using QD materials. Until now, the Cd‐based QD‐LEDs shown excellent properties, but eco‐friendly semiconductors attracted attentions due to environmental regulation. And, since there are issues about reliability conventional with organic charge transport layers, a stable layer in conditions must be for...
