Background: Assessing the complex and multifaceted symptoms of patients with acute psychiatric disorders proves to be significantly challenging for clinicians. Moreover, the staff in acute psychiatric wards face high work intensity and risk of burnout, yet research on the introduction of digital technologies in this field remains limited. The combination of continuous and objective wearable sensor data acquired from patients with deep learning techniques holds the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional psychiatric assessments and support clinical decision-making.

Understanding the excited-state dynamics in perovskite photovoltaics is necessary for progress in these materials, but changes in dynamics depending on the fabrication processes used for perovskite photoactive layers remain poorly characterised. Here we report a comparative study on femtosecond transient absorption (TA) in CHNHPbI perovskite films fabricated by various solution-processing methods. The grain sizes and the number of voids between grains on each film varied according to the film synthesis method.

Fluorine (F) substitution on conjugated polymers in polymer solar cells (PSCs) has a diverse effect on molecular properties and device performance. We present a series of three D-A type conjugated polymers (PBT, PFBT, and PDFBT) based on dithienothiophene and benzothiadiazole units with different numbers of F atoms to explain the influence of F substitution by comparing the molecular interactions of the polymers and the recombination kinetics in PSCs. The preaggregation behavior of PFBT and PDFBT in o-DCB at the UV-vis absorption spectra proves that both polymers have strong intermolecular interactions.

Hybrid structures of silicon with organic-inorganic perovskites are proposed for optically controllable switching of terahertz (THz) waves over a broad spectral range from 0.2 to 2THz. A 532-nm external laser was utilized to generate photoexcited free carriers at the devices and consequentially to control the terahertz amplitude modulation, obtaining a depth of up to 68% at a laser irradiance of 1.

Perovskite solar cells (PeSCs) have been considered one of the competitive next generation power sources. To date, light-to-electric conversion efficiencies have rapidly increased to over 10%, and further improvements are expected. However, the poor device reproducibility of PeSCs ascribed to their inhomogeneously covered film morphology has hindered their practical application.

Here, we report the simultaneous attainment of efficient electron injection and enhanced stability under ambient conditions for top-gate/bottom-contact (TG/BC), n-type, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) using water-soluble polyfluorene derivatives (WPFs). When inserting the WPF interlayers between a semiconductor and the BC Au electrodes, initially the ambipolar (6,6)-phenyl-C61butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) OFETs were fully converted to unipolar charge transport characteristics that were exclusively n-type with significantly increased electron mobilities as high as 0.12 cm(2)/(V s) and a decreased threshold voltage.

In this work, we synthesized water-soluble polyfluorene derivatives (WPFs) with anionic and/or cationic side chains, which were used as an indium tin oxide (ITO) cathode interfacial layer in inverted polymer solar cells. Three WPFs (WPFN+, WPFZW, and WPFS-) were obtained via Suzuki coupling reactions. Their solubility in polar solvents allowed the WPFs to be used as interfacial layers in inverted polymer solar cells (I-PSCs).
