The physical properties of a liquid crystal-ionic liquid system were investigated. Low-frequency dielectric spectroscopy for 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl () doped with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ( ) for the nematic and isotropic phase of host substances was performed. We obtained electrical conductivity values in the range from 298.2 K to 313.2 K and the conductivity anisotropy was confirmed. Further study of the relaxation process for allowed us to extract the relaxation frequencies and amplitudes from experimental data and confirm the temperature scaling; the thickness of the interfacial layers was estimated for the homogeneous and homeotropic alignments of the prepared composite. An attempt to unfold the ion contribution on the charge transport was made in order to better understand the electrode polarization process. In this work, the influence of the alignment layer and phase state on the interfacial layer formation in liquid crystal media will be explained better.

NiO, a wide band gap hole-transporting material (HTM), is gaining attention in photovoltaics due to its optical transparency, chemical stability, and favourable band alignment with absorber. This study uses NiO nanoparticle-based HTM in semi-transparent SbS solar cells via a simple chemical precipitation method. We optimised NiO layer by varying precursor solution concentration and studied its impact on optical and structural properties, composition of nanoparticles and subsequent effect on the performance of semi-transparent SbS solar cell.

The anomalous photovoltaic effect (APE) in polar crystals is a promising avenue for overcoming the energy conversion efficiency limits of conventional photoelectric devices utilizing p-n junction architectures. To facilitate effective photocarrier separation and enhance the APE, polar materials need to be thinned down to maximize the depolarization field. Here, we demonstrate Janus MoSSe monolayers (~0.

One of the primary challenges in commercializing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is achieving both high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and sufficient stability. We integrate wafer-scale continuous monolayer MoS buffers at the top and bottom of a perovskite layer through a transfer process. These films physically block ion migration of perovskite into carrier transport layers and chemically stabilize the formamidinium lead iodide phase through strong coordination interaction.

The AD hippocampus exhibits microscopic pathological changes such as tau tangles, iron accumulation and late-stage amyloid. Validating these changes from ultra-high-resolution ex-vivo MRI through histology is challenging due to nonlinear 3D deformations between MRI and histological samples.
