Lambert Alff and his team from Darmstadt University of Technology (TU Darmstadt) in Germany, along with their collaborators, propose a novel unified model for hafnium-oxide resistive random access memory (RRAM) based on the role of oxygen vacancy defects.
Aqueous-Processed Hole-Transport Layer for High-Performance Solar Cells
Thomas D. Anthopoulos and colleagues report a simple, environmentally-friendly processing method for copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN), a next-generation hole-transport layer (HTL) for organic and hybrid perovskite solar cells. The power conversion efficiency reaches 17.5%—a remarkable improvement over conventional polymer HTLs.
