Surface Property Regulation of a Magnetron-Sputtered NiO Hole Transport Layer for High-Performance Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells.

The inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are gaining increasing attention recently for their unprecedented advantages, such as better integration with tandem and flexible designs, negligible hysteresis, good operational stability, and compatibility with commercially scalable fabrication approaches. Nickel oxide (NiOx) films prepared by magnetron sputtering technology exhibit excellent scalability and reproducibility, which could well meet the requirements of the large-scale production of inverted PSCs. However, NiOx prepared by vacuum methods generally has fewer surface hydroxyl groups, deteriorating the wettability and damaging the interface contact with the perovskite.

Spokewise Total Syntheses of Four Alkaloids and Telescoped Syntheses of Six Additional Alkaloids.

Based on rich sulfur-involving chemical transformations, a novel spokewise synthetic strategy, a subclass of the collective strategies, has been developed to concisely synthesize four erythrina alkaloids through a single-step transformation from a common synthetic precursor. Moreover, six additional erythrina alkaloids have also been synthesized by subsequent 1-2 steps chemical transformations. The current synthetic approaches provide a valuable platform for collective total syntheses of erythrina alkaloids and -natural erythrina alkaloids.
