“…To appraise the photoelectric conversion properties of PbS x Se 1−x -QDs/MoS 2 -NT 0D-1D MvdW heterostructures, we compare this result with other 0D-1D heterostructures (figure 5(d)). Apparently, the reported PCEs of 0D-1D heterostructures are in the range of 0.29%-4.78% for the past few years, which is much lower than that the present work [10,16,17,19,[52][53][54][55]. This is mainly due to the outstanding light absorptance and extremely fast charge transfer in PbS x Se 1−x -QDs/MoS 2 -NT 0D-1D MvdW heterostructures.…”

“…Yao et al [16] proposed a method of sensitizing CdS nanorod with PbS QDs to harvest more photons and improve the photocurrent density. Also, a significant increase in PCE can be up to 4.62% by adsorbing PbS QDs on ZnO nanorod arrays [17]. Moreover, 1D component provides a direct electron transport path to reduce the recombination rate [9,18,19].…”

0D-1D mixed-dimensional van der Waals (MvdW) heterostructures have shown great potential in electronic/optoelectronic applications. However, addressing the interface barrier modulation and charge-transfer mechanisms remain challenging. Here, we develop an analytic model to illustrate the open-circuit voltage and charge-transfer state energy in PbSxSe1-x-quantum dots (QDs)/MoS2-nanotube (NT) 0D-1D MvdW heterostructures based on atomic-bond-relaxation approach, Marcus theory and modified-detailed balance principle. We find that the band alignment of PbSxSe1-x-QDs/MoS2-NT heterostructures undergoes a transition from type II to type I, and the threshold of size is around 5.6 nm for x=1, which makes the system suitable for various devices including photocatalytic device, light-emission device and solar cell under different sizes. Our results not only clarify the underlying mechanism of interfacial charge-transfer in the heterostructures, but also provide unique insight and new strategy for designing multifunctional and high-performance 0D-1D MvdW heterostructure devices.

“…In order to further verify the effect of charge transfer, the above experiments were repeated with n = 1 nanoperovskite PEPI. The exciton binding energy in PEPI films is as high as ∼230 meV, and the quality of the films prepared from solution is relatively high; substantially, no carriers are generated in the case of photoexcitation; therefore, the general film does not contain free or bound charges [ 16 ]. So, even if the substrate is ITO, there is very little chance of charge transfer between the film and the substrate.…”

In order to overcome the problem of long-term stability of perovskite solar cells, the author proposes a method to study the effects of nanosemiconductor materials on the thermal stability of solar cells. In this method, n = 3 and n = 1 (C6H5(CH2)2NH3)2(CH3NH3)n-1Pbn I3n+1 two-dimensional nanoperovskite films were investigated on glass substrates and indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates, respectively, on the thermal stability. Experimental results show that the glass-based nanoperovskite PMPI3 film was partially decomposed into PbI2 after being heated at 160°C. When the temperature reaches 180°C, the film is completely decomposed into PbI2, and the perovskite PMPI3 film with ITO as the substrate is completely decomposed into PbI2 when the heating temperature reaches 140°C. The charge transfer between the perovskite film and the substrate is the physical reason for its easier thermal decomposition on the ITO substrate. Suggestions for improving the thermal stability of perovskite solar cell devices are given from the aspects of device design and fabrication process.

The interfacial modification effect of the molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) buffer layer inserted between Al and black phosphorus (BP) was investigated with photoemission spectroscopy. The results show that MoO3 buffer layer can effectively prevent the destruction of the outermost BP lattice by Al thermal deposition and change the interface electronic structure between Al and BP. At the MoO3/BP interface, there is an interface dipole pointing from MoO3 to BP. During the metal deposition process, an interfacial chemical reaction between Al and MoO3 was found. These observations would provide insight for fabricating high-performance BP-based devices.
