Green Solvent Ethanol-Based Inks for Industrially Applicable Deposition of High-Quality Perovskite Films for Optoelectronic Device Applications.

Incontrovertibly there is an increasing demand for the development of benign inks suitable for fabrication of high-performing perovskite-based thin film functional layers. Nevertheless, most reported perovskite precursors rely on the use of highly toxic solvents such as acetonitrile, 2-methoxyethanol, dimethylformamide, and many others. Hence, there is a strong imperative for the development of novel and greener inks, which will facilitate smoother commercialization of technologies based on functional perovskite films.

Signal Amplification Gains of Compressive Sampling for Photocurrent Response Mapping of Optoelectronic Devices.

Spatial characterisation methods for photodetectors and other optoelectronic devices are necessary for determining local performance, as well as detecting local defects and the non-uniformities of devices. Light beam induced current measurements provide local performance information about devices at their actual operating conditions. Compressed sensing current mapping offers additional specific advantages, such as high speed without the use of complicated experimental layouts or lock-in amplifiers.
