Ag-Co films with ultra-high resistivity were prepared on polyimide by magnetron sputtering. The effect of Co content and annealing temperatures on the resistivity and microstructure of Ag-Co films has been thoroughly investigated and the relation between resistivity and microstructure has been discussed. Results show that thicker Ag-Co films without annealing present lower resistivity due to better crystallinity. However, thin Ag-Co films (≤21 nm) annealed at 360 °C present ultra-high film resistivity because of the formation of diffusion pits on the film surface which blocks the transmission of electrons in films to increase film resistivity. Inversely, the resistivity of thick Ag-Co films (≥45 nm) annealed at 360 °C is much less than that annealed at lower than 260 °C owing to no diffusion pits. Furthermore, the addition of Co inhibits the growth of Ag grains and limits the migration of electrons in Ag-Co films further, also resulting in the increase of Ag-Co films' resistivity.

Spin injection across 160 nm thick semi-crystalline Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) is methodically investigated at room temperature in PVDF-HFP/NiFe bilayers and Ag/(NiFe or Co)/PVDF-HFP/NiFe vertical organic spin valves (OSVs) using both the co-planar waveguide ferromagnetic resonance (CPW-FMR: 7-35 GHz) and magnetoresistance (MR) techniques. The structural and microstructural characteristics of PVDF-HFP reveal the formation of mixed non-ferroelectric alpha and ferroelectric beta phases. The spin injection due to the transfer of angular momentum in PVDF-HFP/NiFe is quantified by measuring the spin-mixing conductance () and the enhancement in Gilbert damping () parameters from CPW-FMR data.

Plastic packaging is usually heavily printed with inks to provide functional benefits. However, the presence of inks strongly impedes the closed-loop recycling of plastic films. Various media have already been studied for the deinking of plastic films, but there is little scientific insight into the effectiveness of different deinking techniques.

Recycling multilayer plastic packaging is challenging due to its intrinsic compositional heterogeneity. A promising route to increase recycling rates for these materials is delamination, which allows recycling the polymers separately. Yet, this process is not well understood on a fundamental level.

In this work, a lithium and silver co-doping strategy has been successfully implied to prepare NiO films for high performance inverted planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Compared to the pristine and single-doped NiO , the Li and Ag co-doping approach exhibits the synergistic effect and can endow NiO films with higher electrical conductivity, higher hole mobility and better interface energy band alignment with perovskite active layers. Moreover, the perovskite film with enhanced crystallinity can be obtained induced by the Li,Ag:NiO film.
