In this paper, a facile modifying technique of source/drain regions conductivity was proposed for self-aligned top-gate In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) by controlling the process parameter of the passivation layer at relatively low temperatures. The sheet resistance of the source and drain regions of IGZO was approximately 365 Ω/□, and there was no significant change within a month. The device parameters of mobility, threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, and current switching ratio of the fabricated device were 15.15 cmVs, 0.09 V, 0.15 V/dec, and higher than 10, respectively. The threshold voltage drift under negative bias illumination stress was -0.34 V. In addition, a lower channel width-normalized contact resistance of 9.86 Ω·cm was obtained.

Currently, the development of polymeric hole-transporting materials (HTMs) lags behind that of small-molecule HTMs in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A critical challenge is that conventional polymeric HTMs are incapable of forming ultra-thin and conformal coatings like self-assembly monolayers (SAMs), especially for substrates with rough surface morphology. Herein, we address this challenge by designing anchorable polymeric HTMs (CP1 to CP5).

SnO₂ is a widely used electron transport layer (ETL) material in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and its design and optimization are essential for achieving efficient and stable PSCs. In this study, the in situ formation of a chain entanglement gel polymer electrolyte is reported in an aqueous phase, integrated with SnO₂ as the ETL. Based on the self-polymerization of 3-[[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylammonium]propane-1-sulfonic acid (DAES) in an aqueous environment, combining the catalytic effect of LiCl (as a Lewis acid) with the salting-out effect, and the introduction of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the other polymer chain, a chain entanglement gelled SnO (G-SnO) structure is successfully constructed with a wide range of functions.

The development of quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) represents a promising advancement in next-generation display technology. However, there are challenges, especially in achieving efficient hole injection, maintaining charge balance, and replacing low-stability organic materials such as PEDOT:PSS. To address these issues, in this study, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were employed to modify the surface properties of NiO, a hole injection material, within the structure of ITO/HIL/TFB/QDs/ZnMgO/Al QLEDs.

This work reports on the preparation process of a double-layer perovskite active layer. The first active layer film, CsKPEAPbIBr, was fabricated using a spin-coating method, while the second active layer, MAPbBr, was deposited using MAPbBr single crystals as the evaporation source. Additionally, doping the PEDOT: PSS hole transport layer with ETA and EDA can enhance the uniformity of the perovskite film and reduce voids, improving charge transport efficiency.
