Although perovskite solar cells have achieved excellent photoelectric conversion efficiencies, there are still some shortcomings, such as defects inside and at the interface as well as energy level dislocation, which may lead to non-radiative recombination and reduce stability. Therefore, in this study, a double electron transport layer (ETL) structure of FTO/TiO/ZnO/(FAPbI)(MAPbBr)/Spiro-OMeTAD is investigated and compared with single ETL structures of FTO/TiO/(FAPbI)(MAPbBr)/Spiro-OMeTAD and FTO/ZnO/(FAPbI)(MAPbBr)/Spiro-OMeTAD using the SCAPS-1D simulation software, with special attention paid to the defect density in the perovskite active layer, defect density at the interface between the ETL and the perovskite active layer, and temperature. Simulation results reveal that the proposed double ETL structure could effectively reduce the energy level dislocation and inhibit the non-radiative recombination.

Upon excitation laser, the transmission and modulation depth was measured using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that the modulation depth of monolayer graphene and 3-layer graphene was 16% and 32% under the 1495 mW excitation power.

Deep learning has shown potential in significantly improving performance for undersampled magnetic resonance (MR) image reconstruction. However, one challenge for the application of deep learning to clinical scenarios is the requirement of large, high-quality patient-based datasets for network training. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning-based method for undersampled MR image reconstruction that does not require pre-training procedure and pre-training datasets.

Residues of harmful dyes such as Auramine O (AO) in herb and food products threaten the health of people. So, fast and sensitive detection techniques of the residues are needed. As a powerful tool for substance detection, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy was used for the quantitative determination of AO by combining with an improved partial least-squares regression (PLSR) model in this paper.

This article presents a transcutaneous electric stimulator that is based on chaotic signal. Firstly, we in the study used the MATLAB platform in the PC to generate chaotic signal through the chaos equation, and then we transferred the signal out by data acquisition equipment of USB-6251 manufactured by NI Company. In order to obtain high-power signal for transcutaneous electric stimulator, we used the chip of LM3886 to amplify the signal.
