Semiconducting molecules have been employed to passivate traps extant in the perovskite film for enhancement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) efficiency and stability. A molecular design strategy to passivate the defects both on the surface and interior of the CH3 NH3 PbI3 perovskite layer, using two phthalocyanine (Pc) molecules (NP-SC6 -ZnPc and ...

Despite the existence of numerous photocatalyst heterostructures, their separation efficiency and charge flow precision remain low due to the poor study on interfacial properties. The photocatalysts with confined defects can effectively control the photogenerated carrier migration, but the metastability of such defects considerably decreases the ph...

Blocking immune checkpoint pathways with an antibody or small interfering RNA (siRNA) has become a promising method to reactivate antitumor responses for cancer treatment. However, both blockade strategies achieve only temporary inhibition of these immune checkpoints. Herein, a photoswitched CRISPR/Cas9 system for genomic disruption of the PD-L1 ge...

Intrinsic defects, including oxygen vacancies, can efficiently modify the electrochemical performance of metal oxides. There is, however, a limited understanding of how vacancies influence charge storage properties. Here, using tungsten oxide as a model system, an extensive study of the effects of structure, electrical properties, and charge storag...

The memory window of floating gate (FG) type non-volatile memory (NVM) devices is a fundamental figure of merit used not only to evaluate the performance, such as retention and endurance, but also to discuss the feasibility of advanced functional memory devices. However, the memory window of 2D materials based NVM devices is historically determined...

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are facing a significant barrier due to the diffusion of intermediate redox species. Although some S doped covalent framework cathodes have been reported with outstanding reversibility, the low content of sulfur (less than 30%) limits the practical applications. To overcome the issue, the sulfur and nitrogen co-doped...

With the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, the need to develop antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) technologies is urgent. The current challenge has been to perform the antibiotic susceptibility testing in short time, directly with clinical samples, and with antibiotics over a broad dynamic range of clinically relevant concentr...
