Improving the interface characteristics between the hole-transport layer (HTL) and perovskite absorber layer is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This paper presents an effective functional compensation layer (FCL) composed of benzothiophene derivatives, particularly 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (TFMBTA); this layer is introduced between the MeO-2PACz HTL and perovskite absorber layer to improve the interfacial characteristics between them. This FCL improves charge transfer, hole extraction, and perovskite deposition by improving the surface morphology of the HTL and optimizing the energy level alignment.

Significant challenges in ensuring long-term stability, addressing environmental safety issues, and improving efficiency have hindered the commercialization of inverted Pb-based halide perovskite solar cells (PeSCs). One reasonable approach to addressing these issues is to place an effective buffer layer between the perovskite active layer and the electrode. In this study, we demonstrate the use of crown ether, di--butyl dibenzo-18-crown-6, as a single buffer layer to improve the efficiency, long-term stability, and environmental safety of PeSCs for the first time.

Material And Methods: Illumina HT-12mRNA expression profiles microarray was employed to measure the gene expression profiles of 6 patients with advanced glioma and to screen for differentially expressed genes.
Results: GO and KEGG analyses were performed on the differentially expressed genes using Web Gestalt software (P<0.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the expression of tumor O (6)-methylquanine DNA methyl-tranferase(MGMT) and pathological grade,and the influence of racial factors on tumor MGMT expression levels for glioma patients.
Methods: Compare and analysis the correlation between the pathological grade and MGMT levels and the racial factors on MGMT expression levels by the immunohistochemical staining on the tumor specimens of 33 Uygur and 61 Han.
Results: The positive rate of 61 Han gliomas pations with MGMT is 45.
