Two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic perovskites have recently undergone rapid development because of their unique optical properties, layered nature, and better environmental stability. Here, we report on a new type of 2D lead-free perovskite (CHCHNH)CsSnI crystals with millimeter size and high field-effect hole mobility synthesized by a solution method. The excellent crystalline quality and phase purity have been verified by X-ray diffraction and low-temperature photoluminescence studies, while the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy-dispersive spectrometry measurements reveal the successful incorporation of Cs element into the resultant crystals and the absence of Sn in the as-synthesized crystals. The as-synthesized crystals exhibit a high electrical conductivity and a high hole mobility up to 34 cm·V·s at 77 K. The crystals also show a high photoresponse resulting from the excellent optical properties and high electrical conductivity. Our findings show that the lead-free (CHCHNH)CsSnI crystals with excellent optoelectronic properties would be a promising material for electronic and optoelectronic applications.

This study explores the concept of molecular orbital tuning for organic semiconductors through the use of '-diethynylated derivatives of 6,13-dihydro-6,13-diazapentacene ( and ). These novel molecules maintain the same molecular geometry and π-π stacking as their parent pentacene derivatives ( and ), as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. However, they exhibit altered frontier molecular orbitals in terms of the phase, nodal properties, and energy levels.

Direct current magnetron sputtering was employed to fabricate In-N dual-doped SnO films, with varying concentrations of N in a mixed sputtering gas of N and argon (Ar). The quantity of -substituted O elements in the SnO lattice was confirmed through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A comprehensive investigation of properties of the In-N dual-doped SnO films was conducted using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, Hall effect measurements, and current-voltage (-) characteristic assessments.

Poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)--(4,4'-(-(4-butylphenyl)))] (TFB) is a widely used hole transport material (HTM) in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). However, TFB-based solution-processed QLEDs face several challenges, including interlayer erosion, low hole mobility, shallow energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital, and current leakage, which compromise the device efficiency and stability. To overcome these challenges, bromine and azide-based photothermally cross-linkable TFB derivatives, i.

Two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes, together with their binary and ternary counterparts, have attracted substantial research interest due to their peculiar geometries and properties. Among them, grapheneplus, a derivative of penta-graphene, has been proposed to exhibit unusual mechanical and electronic behaviour. In this work, we perform a comprehensive first-principles study on its isoelectronic and isostructural analogue, a grapheneplus-like BCN (gp-BCN) monolayer.

To advance off-grid energy solutions, developing flexible photobatteries capable of direct light charging is essential. This study presents an innovative photobattery architecture that incorporates zinc oxide (ZnO) as an electron-transporting and hole-blocking layer, combined with a hybrid methylammonium tin iodide composite with poly-triarylamine (MASnI/PTAA) for light absorption and hole transport. PTAA facilitates efficient hole transport to the anode, thereby enhancing charge separation and reducing recombination losses.
