Improved chemical stability of ITO transparent anodes with a SnO2 buffer layer for organic solar cells

Passivating Surface Defects of n‐SnO2 Electron Transporting Layer by InP/ZnS Quantum Dots: Toward Efficient and Stable Organic Solar Cells

“…On the contrary, the n ‐SnO 2 /InP/ZnS QDs ETL based device showed an impressively high stability performance, the PCE can remain over 80% of its original efficiency after 500 h aging. The n ‐SnO 2 /InP/ZnS QDs based ETL has a very stable chemical structure, the presence of the ETL not only hinder the moisture and oxygen molecules absorbed on the ITO surface to diffuse into the ITO grain boundaries to increase resistance,43 but also hinder the diffusion of moisture and oxygen molecules into the above active layer,44 thus contributing to the high device stability in OSCs.…”

Insights on the Role of Copper Addition in the Corrosion and Mechanical Properties of Binary Zr-Cu Metallic Glass Coatings

“…Figure 1 illustrates the influence of chemical composition on the structure of Zr-Cu glassy coatings. The broad peak between 20° and 30° is attributed to the glass substrate [23]. The coatings present only a broad diffraction hump for the compositions in between 30 at.% Cu and 80 at.% Cu with no appreciable crystal phases detected, suggesting a typical amorphous structure.…”

Growth mechanism of SnC2H4O2 nanowires prepared by the polyol process as SnO2 precursor nanowires

“…SnO 2 -based nanomaterials have been widely applied as n-type semiconductor gas sensors for sensing reductive gases (E g ¼ 3.64 eV at 300 K), [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] transparent conducting oxides in optoelectronic devices, thin lm solar energy cells, and anode materials in high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In particular, high-performance, exible, and stretchable nanomaterialbased devices can be realized by using SnO 2 nanowires. [17][18][19] Therefore, the easy and large-scale synthesis of SnO 2 nanowires remains an attractive eld of research.…”
