A novel organometal halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI2Br) is synthesized and used as a visible light absorber to sensitize one-dimensional (1D) TiO2 nanowire arrays (NWAs) for all-solid-state hybrid solar cells. It achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.87% and an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.82 V, both higher than those of its analogue CH3NH3PbI3.
With a view to developing flexible solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors, we have specially designed and nanoscopically engineered two types of electrodes: a MnO 2 /ZnO core-shell nanorod array and a HIreduced graphene oxide assembly, both deposited in situ on a carbon cloth. These materials were thoroughly characterized by structural and spectroscopic techniques. The flexible solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors with cathodes and anodes made of these materials have demonstrated superior performance characteristics. They can be cycled in a wide potential window of 0-1.8 V for 5000 cycles with only 1.5% capacitance loss. The demonstrated volumetric energy density of 0.234 mW h cm À3 and volumetric power density of 0.133 W cm À3 are much higher than those of similar devices reported previously in the literature.
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.
