Perovskite solar cells: film formation and properties

Perovskite solar cells have received considerable attention in recent years as a promisingmaterial capable of developing high performance photovoltaic devices at a low cost. Their high absorption coefficient, tunable band gap, low temperature processing and abundant elemental constituents provide numerous advantages overmost thin film absorbermaterials. In this review, we discuss the current st...

An overview of polymer latex film formation and properties.

The literature on polymer latex film formation has grown enormously in recent times--driven by the need to find alternatives for solvent-based systems with their adverse environmental impacts. Although greater insight has been shown by the use of modern instrumental techniques such as small angle neutron scattering, direct non-radiative energy transfer and atomic force microscopy, the actual me...

Hydrophobin Film Structure for HFBI and HFBII and Mechanism for Accelerated Film Formation

Hydrophobins represent an important group of proteins from both a biological and nanotechnological standpoint. They are the means through which filamentous fungi affect their environment to promote growth, and their properties at interfaces have resulted in numerous applications. In our study we have combined protein docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and electron cryo-microscopy to gain a...

2007: Graphitic Structures By Design: Film formation

The potential applications of new graphitic materials, including carbon nanotubes and carbonized spheres, is limited by both the cost of production and the difficulties of organizing them into final geometries. We have developed a simple, low temperature (ca. 500 C) novel technology based on our discovery that in certain lean burn combustion environments graphite will grow rapidly (>1 graphene ...
