The beneficial use of a hole transport layer (HTL) as a substitution for poly(3,4-ethlyenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is regarded as one of the most important approaches for improving the stability and efficiency of inverted perovskite solar cells. Here, we demonstrate highly efficient and stable inverted perovskite solar cells by applying a GO-doped PEDOT:PSS (PEDOT:GO) film as an HTL. The high performance of this solar cell stems from the excellent optical and electrical

Abstract Output power of thermoelectric generators depends on device engineering minimizing heat loss as well as inherent material properties. However, the device engineering has been largely neglected due to the limited flat or angular shape of devices. Considering that the surface of most heat sources where these planar devices are attached is curved, a considerable amount of heat loss is inevitable. To address this issue, here, we present the shape-engineerable thermoelectric painting, geomet

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have emerged as a next-generation candidate for light-emitting device applications due to their excellent optical and electrical properties with narrow band emission compared to organic emitters. The morphological control of perovskite films with full surface coverage and few defect sites is essential for achieving highly efficient perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). Here, we obtain a highly uniform perovskite film with a remarkably reduced number of d

The mechanical flexibility of perovskite solar cells as well as high power conversion efficiency is attracting increasing attention. In addition to existing empirical approaches, such as cyclic bending tests, in this study we report the tensile properties of the perovskite materials themselves. Measuring the tensile properties of free-standing perovskite materials is critical because (1) tensile properties represent the realistic mechanical properties of the film-type perovskite layer in the sol

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have been investigated extensively for use in perovskite-based solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) because of their excellent electrical and optical properties. Although the flexibility of perovskite LEDs has been studied through empirical methods such as cyclic bending tests, the flexibility of the perovskite layer has not been investigated systemically. Here, flexible and semitransparent perovskite LEDs are fabricated: a PEDOT:PSS anode and Ag nano

The evolution of grain size and shape as well as type and frequency of grain boundary structures during thermal annealing of lamellar diblock copolymer microstructures is established using large area image reconstruction and analysis. Grain coarsening is found to proceed via an initial transient stage that is characterized by the rapid relaxation of unstable “frozen-in” defects such as kink boundaries and the subsequent quasi-stationary coarsening that is dominated by the continuous relaxation o

Metal halide perovskites have been actively studied as promising materials in optoelectronic devices because of their superior optical and electrical properties and have also shown considerable potential for flexible devices because of their good mechanical properties. However, the large hole injection barrier and exciton quenching between the perovskite emitter and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly-styrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) can lead to the reduction in device efficiency. Here, a noncond

Abstract Aligned wavy‐structured thermally grown silicon dioxide films are fabricated for stretchable encapsulation films. Uniaxial stretchability is investigated with micromechanics modeling, which can elucidate the stretchability arising from the wavy structure and the properties of the materials. The wavy‐structured films with optimum combinations of film thickness and wavy structure show 20.1% of uniaxial stretchability and 1.11 × 10 −6 g m −2 day −1 of water vapor transmission rate (WVTR),
