Gamma-ray dose threshold for MAPbI solar cells.

In this work, we report on the effects observed in MAPbI polycrystalline films and solar cells under moderate gamma-ray doses of 3-21 kGy. We applied several instrumental techniques such as photoluminescence spectroscopy, time-resolved photoluminescence, Suns- measurement, and impedance spectroscopy to characterize exposed samples. We observed a nonlinear dependency of such characteristics as PL intensity, career lifetime, ideality factor, and recombination resistance on the exposure dose.

Hole-transporting interlayers based on pyrazine-containing conjugated polymers for perovskite solar cells.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have drawn great attention in the past decade due to the rapid growth of their power conversion efficiency (PCE) and the advantage of their low-cost fabrication. The hole-transport materials (HTMs) play a crucial role in achieving high efficiency and operational stability of PSCs. In this work, we report the synthesis of two novel conjugated polymers by coupling of the alkylsilyl-substituted benzo[1,2-:4,5-']dithiophene unit with the thiophene-bridged pyrazine block and their investigation as dopant-free HTMs in n-i-p PSCs.

Novel Push-Pull Benzodithiophene-Containing Polymers as Hole-Transport Materials for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells.

Donor-acceptor conjugated polymers are considered advanced semiconductor materials for the development of thin-film electronics. One of the most attractive families of polymeric semiconductors in terms of photovoltaic applications are benzodithiophene-based polymers owing to their highly tunable electronic and physicochemical properties, and readily scalable production. In this work, we report the synthesis of three novel push-pull benzodithiophene-based polymers with different side chains and their investigation as hole transport materials (HTM) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

The Impact of Backbone Fluorination and Side-Chain Position in Thiophene-Benzothiadiazole-Based Hole-Transport Materials on the Performance and Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) currently reach high efficiencies, while their insufficient stability remains an obstacle to their technological commercialization. The introduction of hole-transport materials (HTMs) into the device structure is a key approach for enhancing the efficiency and stability of devices. However, currently, the influence of the HTM structure or properties on the characteristics and operational stability of PSCs remains insufficiently studied.

Incorporation of Vanadium(V) Oxide in Hybrid Hole Transport Layer Enables Long-term Operational Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells.

Recent studies have shown that charge transport interlayers with low gas permeability can increase the operational lifetime of perovskite solar cells serving as a barrier for migration of volatile decomposition products from the photoactive layer. Herein we present a hybrid hole transport layer (HTL) comprised of p-type polytriarylamine (PTAA) polymer and vanadium(V) oxide (VO). Devices with PTAA/VO top HTL reach up to 20% efficiency and demonstrate negligible degradation after 4500 h of light soaking, whereas reference cells using PTAA/MoO as HTL lose ∼50% of their initial efficiency under the same aging conditions.

Unraveling the Impact of Hole Transport Materials on Photostability of Perovskite Films and p-i-n Solar Cells.

We investigated the impact of a series of hole transport layer (HTL) materials such as Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), NiO, poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine (PTAA), and polytriarylamine (PTA) on photostability of thin films and solar cells based on MAPbI, CsFAPbI, CsMAFAPbI, CsMAFAPb(BrI), and CsFAPb(BrI) complex lead halides. Mixed halide perovskites showed reduced photostability in comparison with similar iodide-only compositions. In particular, we observed light-induced recrystallization of all perovskite films except MAPbI with the strongest effects revealed for Br-containing systems.

[Combined treatment using brine in acute inflammatory diseases of the internal female genitalia].

A new method of managing acute salpingitis using a combination of sacroabdominal electrophoresis with vaginal baths using the preparation "dry natural brine" is suggested.

[Clinico-echographic aspects of the diagnosis of acute inflammatory diseases of the small pelvis].

A clinical echographic study of 49 patients with acute salpingitis has identified 3 variants of echographic picture of acute salpingitis: acute salpingitis without pelvic peritonitis, acute salpingitis complicated by pelvic peritonitis and acute salpingitis with the formation of a tubo-ovarian abscess.
