TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the characterization of the ZnO/poly(3-hexylthiophene) interfaces in nanostructured hybrid solar cells, aiming to elucidate the relationship between thermal treatment, local morphology, and device performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a growth procedure for epitaxial Au using X-ray diffraction and high-energy electron extraction (HEED) to obtain a thickness of less than 50nm.

TL;DR: Hybrid solar cells based on the mixed metal halide perovskite absorber MeNH3PbI2Cl, sandwiched between selective contacts of TiO2 and poly-3-hexylthiophene show unprecedented reproducibility with efficiencies up to 10.8%.

TL;DR: The influence of the materials (substrate and polymer) and deposition parameters (temperature and emersion velocity) on the deposition of metal salt loaded micelles by dip-coating from solution and on the order and interparticle spacing of the micellar deposits and thus of the metal nanoparticle arrays resulting after plasma removal of the polymer shell is investigated.

TL;DR: Self-assembled layers of colloidal 9.5 nm Co/CoO core/shell nanoparticles exposed to mild reactive hydrogen and oxygen plasmas transformed into an array of metallic nanomagnets with complete reduction of the oxide and removal of the organic surfactants to study the interrelation of surface chemistry and magnetism.
