Integrating deep learning methods for multi-element regression analysis poses a challenge in constructing safety evaluations for building construction. To address this challenge, this paper evaluates the integration of construction safety by quantitatively analyzing practitioners' information and on-site construction conditions. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method quantifies construction safety capabilities, considering four key aspects: operators' primary conditions, organizational personnel's working conditions, on-site management conditions, and analysis of unsafe behaviors.

Developing high-quality wide bandgap (WBG) perovskites with ≈1.7 eV bandgap (E) is critical to couple with silicon and create efficient silicon/perovskite tandem devices. The sufferings of large open-circuit voltage (V) loss and unstable power output under operation continuously highlight the criticality to fully develop high-quality WBG perovskite films.

Article Synopsis
  • * While interfacial materials like fullerenes can capture iodide ions, they actually worsen the problem by creating more iodine vacancies.
  • * In contrast, perfluorodecyl iodide effectively captures and confines iodide ions, resulting in inverted perovskite solar cells that show significant improvements in stability against ultraviolet light and heat.

Ion migration is one of the most critical challenges that affects the stability of metal-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the current arsenal of available strategies for solving this issue is limited. Here, novel perovskite active layers following the concept of ordered structures with functional units (OSFU) to intrinsically suppress ion migration, in which a three-dimensional (3D) perovskite layer is deposited by vapor deposition for light absorption and a 2D layer is deposited by solution process for ion inhibition, are constructed.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) are considered as a crucial energy source for flexible and wearable electronics. Pseudo-planar heterojunction (PPHJ) OSCs simplify the solution preparation and morphology control. However, non-halogenated solvent-printed PPHJ often have an undesirable vertical component distribution and insufficient donor/acceptor interfaces.

The high trap density (generally 10 to 10  cm ) in thin films of organic semiconductors is the primary reason for the inferior charge-carrier mobility and large nonradiative recombination energy loss (ΔE ) in organic solar cells (OSCs), limiting improvement in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). In this study, the trap density in OSCs is efficiently reduced via extending the donor core of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) from a heptacyclic unit to a nonacyclic unit. TTPIC-4F with a nonacyclic unit has stronger intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, affording higher crystallinity in thin films relative to its counterpart BTPIC-4F.

Most methods of depositing perovskite films cannot meet the diverse requirements of real applications such as depositing films on various types of substrates, making patterns with different bandgaps for full-color display. Here, a robust mass transfer method of perovskite films and nanostructures is reported, meeting those requirements, by using an ultrathin branched polyethylenimine as interfacial chemical bonding layers. The transfer-printed perovskite films exhibit comparable morphology, composition, optoelectronic properties, and device performances with the counterparts made by optimized spin-coating methods.

In halide perovskite solar cells the formation of secondary-phase excess lead iodide (PbI) has some positive effects on power conversion efficiency (PCE) but can be detrimental to device stability and lead to large hysteresis effects in voltage sweeps. We converted PbI into an inactive (PbI)RbCl compound by RbCl doping, which effectively stabilizes the perovskite phase. We obtained a certified PCE of 25.

A significant challenge facing perovskite narrowband photodetectors is making high-quality and thick enough films. Here, we report a facile one-step spray-coating approach to deposit cesium lead halide perovskite thick films for filterless narrowband photodetectors, which exhibited a specific detectivity of 2.43 × 10 Jones at 655 nm with an fwhm of 25 nm.

Solution-processable all-inorganic lead halide perovskites are under intensive attention due to their potential applications in low-cost high-performance optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors. However, solution processing usually generates structural and chemical defects which are detrimental to the photodetection performance of photodetectors. Here, a polymer additive of polyethylene glycol (PEG) was employed to passivate the localized defects in CsPbIBr films through the Lewis acid-base interaction.

The intrinsic soft lattice nature of organometal halide perovskites (OHPs) makes them very tolerant to defects and ideal candidates for solution-processed optoelectronic devices. However, the soft lattice results in low stability towards external stresses such as heating and humidity, high density of phonons and strong electron-phonon coupling (EPC). Here, it is demonstrated that the OHPs with unsaturated 4-vinylbenzylammonium (VBA) as organoammonium cations can be polymerized without damaging the perovskite structure and its tolerance to defects.

Tailoring the organic spacing cations enables developing new Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites with tunable optoelectronic properties and superior stabilities. However, the formation of highly crystallized RP perovskites can be hindered when the structure of organic cations become complex. Strategies to regulate crystal growing process and grains quality remain to be explored.

Planar heterojunction (PHJ) organic photodetectors are potentially more stable than traditional bulk heterojunction counterparts because of the absence of uncontrolled phase separation in the donor and acceptor binary blend system. This work reports a new class of PHJ organic photodetectors based on the medium-band gap fullerene C and low-band gap fused-ring non-fullerene acceptor ID-MeIC bilayer structure, which allows a wide range of spectral response tuning across the UV-visible-near-infrared (UV-vis-NIR) region by tailoring individual layer thickness. The C layer not only increases the external quantum efficiency at 745 nm by 57% but also reduces dark currents by two orders of magnitude.

The design and optimization of biosynthetic pathways for industrially relevant, non-model organisms is challenging due to transformation idiosyncrasies, reduced numbers of validated genetic parts and a lack of high-throughput workflows. Here we describe a platform for in vitro prototyping and rapid optimization of biosynthetic enzymes (iPROBE) to accelerate this process. In iPROBE, cell lysates are enriched with biosynthetic enzymes by cell-free protein synthesis and then metabolic pathways are assembled in a mix-and-match fashion to assess pathway performance.

Conventional metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) ultraviolet (UV) detectors have the disadvantage of limited adjustable structural parameters, finite electrical field, and long carrier path. In this Letter, we demonstrate a three-dimensional (3D) MSM structural AlN-based deep-UV (DUV) detector, fabricated through simple trench etching and metal deposition, while flip bonding to the silicon substrate forms a flip-chip 3D-MSM (FC-3DMSM) device. 3D-MSM devices exhibit improved responsiveness and response speed, compared with conventional MSM devices.

The manipulation of crystal orientation from the thermodynamic equilibrium states is desired in layered hybrid perovskite films to direct charge transport and enhance the perovskite devices performance. Here we report a templated growth mechanism of layered perovskites from 3D-like perovskites which can be a general design rule to align layered perovskites along the out-of-plane direction in films made by both spin-coating and scalable blading process. The method involves suppressing the nucleation of both layered and 3D perovskites inside the perovskite solution using additional ammonium halide salts, which forces the film formation starts from solution surface.
