A periodic layer structure consisting of sol-gel-derived SrTiO and anodized AlO has been designed and fabricated by interface engineering. Utilizing the anodized AlO to be the blocking layer, not only the local high electric field around the hole and crack defects could be significantly reduced but also, and equally important, the blocking layer undertaking higher electric field could effectively decrease the breakdown probability of a SrTiO layer based on the finite element analysis. As the sample has been modified, the barrier height of the charge carrier was increased through fitting the conductance activation energy ( H). In addition, the space charge-limited conductance mechanism was almost eliminated according to the fitted results in the ln E-ln J diagram, indicating that most of the charge carrier released from traps were blocked or isolated by the AlO layer. As a result of the periodic interface modification, the leakage current was decreased 2 orders of magnitude and the breakdown strength was enhanced from 144.13 to 754.23 MV m. More importantly, the ultimate energy density is up to 39.49 J cm, which is 1505% greater than the sample without interface modification.

Nowadays, the limited electronic conductivity and structural deterioration during battery cycling have hindered the widespread application of NaV(PO) (NVP). In response to these challenges, we advocate for a technique involving the application of carbon modifications to NVP to enhance its suitability as cathode material. This work involves the synthesis of N/Cl co-modified in situ carbon coatings derived from clozapine (CZP) through a facile hydrothermal route.

Silver nanowire (Ag NW)-based elastic conductors have been considered a promising candidate for key stretchable electrodes in wearable devices. However, the weak interface interaction of Ag NWs and elastic substrates leads to poor durability of electronic devices. For everyday usage, an additional self-healing ability is required to resist scratching and damage.

Effective modifications for the buried interface between self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and perovskites are vital for the development of efficient, stable inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and their tandem photovoltaics. Herein, an ionic-liquid-SAM hybrid strategy is developed to synergistically optimize the uniformity of SAMs and the crystallization of perovskites above. Specifically, an ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-iumbis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide (BMIMTFSI) is incorporated into the SAM solution, enabling reduced surface roughness, improved wettability, and a more evenly distributed surface potential of the SAM film.
