Schottky junctions have been realized by evaporating gold spots on top of sexithiophen (6T), which is deposited on TiO 2 or ZnO with e-beam and spray pyrolysis. Using Mott-Schottky analysis of 6T/TiO2 and 6T/ZnO devices acceptor densities of 4.5x10(16) and 3.7x10(16) cm(-3) are obtained, respectively. For 6T/TiO2 deposited with the e-beam evaporation a conductivity of 9x10(-8) S cm(-1) and a charge carrier mobility of 1.2x10(-5) cm2/V s is found. Impedance spectroscopy is used to model the sample response in detail in terms of resistances and capacitances. An equivalent circuit is derived from the impedance measurements. The high-frequency data are analyzed in terms of the space-charge capacitance. In these frequencies shallow acceptor states dominate the heterojunction time constant. The high-frequency RC time constant is 8 micros. Deep acceptor states are represented by a resistance and a CPE connected in series. The equivalent circuit is validated in the potential range (from -1.2 to 0.8 V) for 6T/ZnO obtained with spray pyrolysis.

Perovskite solar cells are commonly employed in photovoltaic systems because of their special characteristics. Perovskite solar cells remain efficient, but lead-based absorbers are dangerous, restricting their manufacture. Therefore, studies in the field of perovskite materials are now focusing on investigating lead-free perovskites.

Bioinspired light-driven ion transport in two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidics offers exciting prospects for solar energy harvesting. Current single-component nanofluidic membranes often suffer from low light-induced driving forces due to the easy recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Herein, we present a Pt@WS Mott-Schottky heterojunction-based 2D nanofluidic membrane for boosting light-driven active ion transport and solar enhanced ionic power harvesting.

The main focus of this research is to explore the properties and photovoltaic application of AgCdF, and hence, initially, the CASTEP software was used in this study to assess the structural, optical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the AgCdF perovskite absorber layer within the context of the density functional theory (DFT) method. AgCdF resulting from the structural research is confirmed to be chemically and thermodynamically stable by the estimated tolerance factor and formation enthalpy. According to the band structure analysis, AgCdF is an indirect band gap semiconductor with a band gap of 1.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is considered to be a typical endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and its widespread existence in nature is quite harmful to human and ecological environment. The S-scheme n-n heterojunction composite (BiOCO/BiOS) was constructed via a facile two-step chemical precipitation method for the removal of BPA in water environment. The optimal composite catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for BPA, obtaining approximately 0.
