A low-temperature solution-processed inorganic p-type contact material of vanadium oxide (VOx) was developed to fabricate planar-heterojunction perovskite solar cells. Using a solvent-assisted process, high-quality uniform and compact perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) films were deposited on VOx coated substrates. Due to the high transmittance and quenching efficiency of VOx layers, a power conversion efficiency of over 14% was achieved.
The effect of the properties of the polymer materials, such as molecular weight, molten viscosity, crystallization rate and the particle size of the powder, on the quality of selective laser sintering (SLS) parts is researched. The results indicate that the molecular weight affects the quality of the SLS parts through the melting viscosity. SLS parts of higher density can be fabricated with polymer materials of lower melting viscosity. Crystallinity largely affects the precision of the SLS part-shrinkage is more serious with increasing crystallinity. SLS parts sintered with polymer powder materials, whose melting peak and crystalline peak differ greatly, have high dimensional precision. The particle size of the powder affects not only the precision but also the density of the SLS part. The appropriate particle size is about 75-100 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
