The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell genomics is to complement gene-centric metagenomic data with whole-genome assemblies of uncultivated organisms. Assembly of single-cell data is challenging because of highly non-uniform read coverage as well as elevated levels of sequencing errors and chimeric reads. We describe SPAdes, a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler (specialized for single-cell data) and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data). SPAdes generates single-cell assemblies, providing information about genomes of uncultivatable bacteria that vastly exceeds what may be obtained via traditional metagenomics studies. SPAdes is available online ( http://bioinf.spbau.ru/spades ). It is distributed as open source software.

Chemistry and properties of nanocrystals of different shapes.

The need to develop inexpensive renewable energy sources stimulates scientific research for efficient, low-cost photovoltaic devices.1 The organic, polymer-based photovoltaic elements have introduced at least the potential of obtaining cheap and easy methods to produce energy from light.2 The possibility of chemically manipulating the material properties of polymers (plastics) combined with a variety of easy and cheap processing techniques has made polymer-based materials present in almost every aspect of modern society.3 Organic semiconductors have several advantages: (a) lowcost synthesis, and (b) easy manufacture of thin film devices by vacuum evaporation/sublimation or solution cast or printing technologies. Furthermore, organic semiconductor thin films may show high absorption coefficients4 exceeding 105 cm-1, which makes them good chromophores for optoelectronic applications. The electronic band gap of organic semiconductors can be engineered by chemical synthesis for simple color changing of light emitting diodes (LEDs).5 Charge carrier mobilities as high as 10 cm2/V‚s6 made them competitive with amorphous silicon.7 This review is organized as follows. In the first part, we will give a general introduction to the materials, production techniques, working principles, critical parameters, and stability of the organic solar cells. In the second part, we will focus on conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells, mainly on polyphenylenevinylene (PPV) derivatives/(1-(3-methoxycarbonyl) propyl-1-phenyl[6,6]C61) (PCBM) fullerene derivatives and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/PCBM systems. In the third part, we will discuss the alternative approaches such as polymer/polymer solar cells and organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells. In the fourth part, we will suggest possible routes for further improvements and finish with some conclusions. The different papers mentioned in the text have been chosen for didactical purposes and cannot reflect the chronology of the research field nor have a claim of completeness. The further interested reader is referred to the vast amount of quality papers published in this field during the past decade.

Conjugated polymer-based organic solar cells

Advancing perovskite solar cell technologies toward their theoretical power conversion efficiency (PCE) requires delicate control over the carrier dynamics throughout the entire device. By controlling the formation of the perovskite layer and careful choices of other materials, we suppressed carrier recombination in the absorber, facilitated carrier injection into the carrier transport layers, and maintained good carrier extraction at the electrodes. When measured via reverse bias scan, cell PCE is typically boosted to 16.6% on average, with the highest efficiency of ~19.3% in a planar geometry without antireflective coating. The fabrication of our perovskite solar cells was conducted in air and from solution at low temperatures, which should simplify manufacturing of large-area perovskite devices that are inexpensive and perform at high levels.

Interface engineering of highly efficient perovskite solar cells

A model was developed in order to calculate the texture evolution of a growing film with large atomic diffusion on the surface. The tendency for lowest surface energy was taken as the driving force for the evolution. The orientation dependent surface energy y was approximated by a function with a sharp minimum in two crystallographic directions. The texture evolution was calculated, starting from various initial situations. With realistic assumptions it was found that a texture without preferential orientations evolved to a bimodal texture, and finally to a situation with only lowest y planes parallel to the substrate. For some initial situations a texture turn over from one crystallographic direction to another one can be expected. In all cases a sharpening of the angular distribution of the texture is found near the directions of a local minimum for y. For sufficiently large times the mean top diameter of the columns always increases with layer thickness. The calculated effects describe well a number of experimentally observed phenomena.

A model for thin film texture evolution driven by surface energy effects

Graphene has potential for applications in solar cells. We show that the short circuit current density of P3HT (Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl):PCBM((6,6)-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester) solar cells is enhanced by 10% upon the addition of graphene, with a 15% increase in the photon to electric conversion efficiency. We discuss the performance enhancement by studying the crystallization of P3HT, as well as the electrical transport properties. We show that graphene improves the balance between electron and hole mobilities with respect to a standard P3HT:PCBM solar cell.

Gas Quenching for Perovskite Thin Film Deposition

In this work, the reaction mechanism used in the preparation of fluorine-free superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) was investigated. To determine which precursor interactions are dominant, a comprehensive thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis) study was performed. The results suggest that a three step reaction mechanism, with a predominant role for BaCO3, is responsible for the conversion of the initial state to the superconducting phase. In the presence of CuO, the decarboxylation of BaCO3 is kinetically favored with the formation of BaCuO2 as a result. BaCuO2 reacts with the remaining CuO to form a liquid which ultimately reacts with Y2O3 in a last step to form YBCO. High temperature X-ray diffraction experiments confirm that these results are applicable for thin film synthesis prepared from an aqueous fluorine-free sol gel precursor.

Defect etching revealed a very large density (∼109cm−2) of intragrain defects in polycrystalline silicon (pc-Si) layers obtained through aluminum-induced crystallization of amorphous Si and epitaxy. Electron-beam-induced current measurements showed a strong recombination activity at these defects. Cathodoluminescence measurements showed the presence of two deep-level radiative transitions (0.85 and 0.93eV) with a relative intensity varying from grain to grain. These results indicate that the unexpected quasi-independence on the grain size of the open-circuit voltage of these pc-Si solar cells is due to the presence of numerous electrically active intragrain defects.
