2D MXene interface engineering for organic solar cells

Abstract

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have several advantages over conventional inorganic solar cells, including lower cost and greater flexibility. However, they also have some disadvantages that must be resolved to increase...

Charge self-regulation of Ti sites in Ti3C2 MXene via rich unsaturated Ti for boosted photocatalytic hydrogen generation

“…S1B, ESI†) shows an accordion-shaped layered structure with size ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers and layers that are thinner than those of Ti 3 AlC 2 due to the absence of Al between the Ti 3 C 2 layers, implying that the layer spacing changed during the etching process. 38–40 Furthermore, survey XPS spectra corroborate the presence of Ti, C, O, and F (Fig. S2A, ESI†).…”

Metal oxide-embedded carbon-based materials for polymer solar cells and X-ray detectors

“…Polymer solar cells (PSCs) have become a promising technology in the field of renewable energy, providing a flexible and sustainable method of capturing solar energy. 1–16 PSCs are viable options for large-scale energy production because they are affordable, lightweight, and can be created using solution-based processes. 9–11,17–19 However, in order to reach their full potential, scientists have been working nonstop to find new ways to boost the effectiveness, stability, and scalability of these solar cells.…”

Sodium-based di-chalcogenide: a promising material for tandem solar cells

“…Solar energy is a reasonably favorable technology within the set of alternatives since factors such as scalability, profitability, efficiency, durability, and sustainability are key to maximizing its potential [5]. However, conventional commercial solar cells are based on expensive inorganic materials with low abundance, high toxicity, and which require energy-intensive techniques [6][7][8].…”
