With this in mind, the group sought to further optimize this cell technology through the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which reportedly improve perovskite growth and optoelectronic ...

Thanks to this technique, we were able to evidence the spontaneous formation of ordered monolayers of even simple fluorocarbons onto the perovskite surface. This surprising result evidences the ...

Monolayers (layers that are one atom or molecule deep) are also routinely made and used in chemistry. The most important example of this new class of materials is graphene. The formation and ...

Researchers led by Prof. Cunlan Guo at Wuhan University have pioneered a new approach to control the electrical properties of ...

Materials scientists are exploring the physical properties of MXenes, a fast-growing family of two-dimensional materials with potential for many nanotechnology applications.

The “trick” involved the application of so-called self-assembled monolayers (SAM) molecules to the CIGS layer, to form a self-organized monomolecular layer. This improved the contact between ...

Herpesviruses are common co-pathogens in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Herpes simplex virus ...

In a recent article, researchers introduced a biocompatible, microscale lithium-ion droplet battery (LiDB) created from a silk hydrogel. This soft, biodegradable LiDB shows promise for biomedical ...
