Recent advances in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have resulted in greater than 23% efficiency with superior advantages such as flexibility and solution-processability, allowing PSCs to be fabricated by a high-throughput and low-cost roll-to-roll (R2R) process. The development of scalable deposition processes is crucial to realize R2R production of flexible PSCs. Gravure printing is a promising candidate with the benefit of direct printing of the desired layer with arbitrary shape and size by using the R2R process. Here, flexible PSCs are fabricated by gravure printing. Printing inks and processing parameters are optimized to obtain smooth and uniform films. SnO nanoparticles are uniformly printed by reducing surface tension. Perovskite layers are successfully formed by optimizing the printing parameters and subsequent antisolvent bathing. 2,2',7,7'-Tetrakis-(,-di-4-methoxyphenylamino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene is also successfully printed. The all-gravure-printed device exhibits 17.2% champion efficiency, with 15.5% maximum power point tracking efficiency for 1000 s. Gravure-printed flexible PSCs based on a two-step deposition of perovskite layer are also demonstrated. Furthermore, a R2R process based on the gravure printing is demonstrated. The champion efficiency of 9.7% is achieved for partly R2R-processed PSCs based on a two-step fabrication of the perovskite layer.

In this study, Ordu-Unye bentonite was used as an adsorbent in the removal of zinc from aqueous solutions. The aim of the experimental part of the study was to ascertain how zinc removal was affected by variables such as pH, adsorbent amount, contact time, and initial zinc concentration. In the second part of the experiments, bentonite was modified with two different acids and the adsorption performance of modified bentonite was also investigated.

Herein, a straightforward route for fabricating highly loaded graphite composite anodes with enhanced electrochemical performance via ultrafast, scalable flashlight irradiation is presented. When a flashlight irradiates the surface of a thick graphite anode, instantaneous and non-equilibrium photo-thermochemical interactions occur between the flashlight and the constituent materials of the anode. As a result, a porous structure (through which the electrolyte easily penetrates), a large reaction site, improved conductivity, as well as phase transformation of active graphite material can be developed on the anode surface, which can facilitate ion and electron transport at the interface with the electrolyte.

The organisms of animals with full spatial motion ability present fine and complex 3D structures, showing reliable adhesion ability to the substrate. As core issues, the design and manufacture of complex morphology are essential in bionic adhesion technology. Specifically, the end-expanded microstructure array of high adhesion under low preload has widespread potential in the nondestructive fixation and handling of fragile objects.

The ability to cost-effectively produce large surface area microfluidic devices would bring many small-scale technologies such as microfluidic artificial lungs (μALs) from the realm of research to clinical and commercial applications. However, efforts to scale up these devices, such as by stacking multiple flat μALs have been labor intensive and resulted in bulky devices. Here, we report an automated manufacturing system, and a series of cylindrical multi-layer lungs manufactured with the system and tested for fluidic fidelity and function.
