Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells were fabricated by laminating films of a carbon nanotube (CNT) network onto a CH3NH3PbI3 substrate as a hole collector, bypassing the energy-consuming vacuum process of metal deposition. In the absence of an organic hole-transporting material and metal contact, CH3NH3PbI3 and CNTs formed a solar cell with an efficiency of up to 6.87%. The CH...

Lead halide perovskites have recently been used as light absorbers in hybrid organic–inorganic solid-state solar cells, with efficiencies as high as 15% and open-circuit voltages of 1 V. However, a detailed explanation of the mechanisms of operation within this photovoltaic system is still lacking. Here, we investigate the photoinduced charge transfer processes at the surface of the perovskite ...

Impressive performance of hybrid perovskite solar cells reported in recent years still awaits a comprehensive understanding of its microscopic origins. In this work, the intrinsic Hall mobility and photocarrier recombination coefficient are directly measured in these materials in steady-state transport studies. The results show that electron-hole recombination and carrier trapping rates in hybr...

A simple lattice model describing the recombination dynamics in visible light emitting porous Silicon is presented. In the model, each occupied lattice site represents a Si crystal of nanometer size. The disordered structure of porous Silicon is modeled by modified random percolation networks in two and three dimensions. Both correlated (excitons) and uncorrelated electronhole pairs have been s...

background: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) belongs to genus nairovirus and family bunyaviridae. the main aim of this study was to investigate the extent of recombination in s-segment genome of cchfv in iran. methods: samples were isolated from iranian patients and those available in genbank, and analyzed by phyloge­netic and bootscan methods. results: through comparison of the ph...

We recently published a study concerning femtosecond pump–probe absorption edge spectroscopy of cubic GaN (fundamental bandgap: 3.23 eV), resulting in the transient dielectric function. In present study, we continue our investigations those measurements by determining time-dependent transition energy at Fermi-vector between conduction and valence bands. The generation electron–hole pairs 266 nm...

Surface passivation is an effective way to boost the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, a key challenge faced by most strategies reducing interface charge recombination without imposing energy barriers extraction. Here, novel multifunctional semiconducting organic ammonium cationic modifier inserted between light-harvesting film hole-transporting layer reported....
