All-solid-state donor/acceptor planar-heterojunction (PHJ) hybrid solar cells are constructed and their excellent performance measured. The deposition of a thin C60 fullerene or fullerene-derivative (acceptor) layer in vacuum on a CH3 NH3 PbI3 perovskite (donor) layer creates a hybrid PHJ that displays the photovoltaic effect. Such heterojunctions are shown to be suitable for the development of newly structured, hybrid, efficient solar cells.

A novel series of 7-aroyl-aminoindoline-1-benzenesulfonamides showed excellent activity as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization through binding with the colchicine binding site of microtubules. Compound 15 and 16 display IC50 values of 1.1 and 1.2 microM, respectively. Compound 15 inhibited the human cancer cell growth of KB, MKN45, H460, HT29, and TSGH, as well as one human-resistant cancer line of KB-vin 10, with an IC50 of 9.6, 8.8, 9.4, 8.6, 10.8, and 8.9 nM, respectively.

A low temperature (<100 °C), flexible solar cell based on an organic-inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite-fullerene planar heterojunction (PHJ) is successfully demonstrated. In this manuscript, we study the effects of energy level offset between a solar absorber (organic-inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite) and the selective contact materials on the photovoltaic behaviors of the planar organometallic perovskite-fullerene heterojunction solar cells. We find that the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite and the Fermi level of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) dominates the voltage output of the device. ITO films on glass or on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flexible substrate with different work functions are investigated to illustrate this phenomenon. The higher work function of the PET/ITO substrate decreases the energy loss of hole transfer from the HOMO of perovskite to ITO and minimizes the energy redundancy of the photovoltage output. The devices using the high work function ITO substrate as contact material show significant open-circuit voltage enhancement (920 mV), with the power conversion efficiency of 4.54%, and these types of extra-thin planar bilayer heterojunction solar cells have the potential advantages of low-cost and lightweight.

ABSTRACT:We have successfully prepared PVP/ LiCoO 2 nanofibers using an electrospinning route. These fibers were composed of very small crystalline grains uniformly linked with an average size. After annealing of the above precursor fibers at 700 C for 12 h, LiCoO 2 nanofibers with 95 nm in diameter were composed of crystalline nanoparticles were successfully obtained. The morphology, crystal structure, and particle size of fibers has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD).
