A heterojunction is an interface between two semiconductor materials of differing energy gap, and inorganic heterojunctions have been studied as the basis of electronic devices for over half a century ...

Figure 1: Schematic representation and energy diagrams of the P3HT/PCBM bilayer devices. In this work, we first demonstrated that charge separation and charge transport in OPVs could successfully take ...

Heterojunctions are interfaces formed between two dissimilar semiconductor materials with different band gaps, electron affinities, or work functions. These nanoscale junctions play a crucial role in ...

In a paper published in the journal Nanophotonics, scientists at Nankai University provide an overview of current research on silicon heterojunction tandem solar cells (SHJ-TSCs), including perovskite ...

Researchers at Hainan University have engineered a novel CuCo-TA@FeOOH heterojunction aimed at enhancing the efficiency of electrocatalytic seawater oxidation. This breakthrough, detailed in the ...

Scientists have developed a new method to make sure the mechanisms to connect between the two-dimensional layer of atoms and semiconductors are as perfect as possible -- an advance that promises to ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers have achieved the first-ever “movie” of electric charges traveling across the interface of two different semiconductor materials. Using scanning ultrafast electron (SUEM) ...

A new type of solar cell based on heterojunctions between different crystalline phases of the same light-absorbing material boasts a maximum power conversion of 20.1% and is stable for long periods of ...

UV detectors have attracted much attention due to their wide applications in astronomy, biology, and national defense, and their development has expanded from academia and industry to multiple fields.

(Nanowerk News) By adding one more layer of atoms to already infinitesimal semiconductors, a next-level generation of electrical devices becomes possible. This work to build better and faster ...
