TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the latest progress in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), including innovative light harvesting and advanced interfacial layers, and discussed the most promising remedial solutions to challenges.
Abstract: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exhibit the steepest growth in power conversion efficiency among the existing photovoltaic technologies. However, a wide range of factors restrict the commercial viability of PSCs as a renewable energy source. This article reviews the latest progress in PSC devices including innovative light-harvesting perovskite materials and advanced interfacial layers, and the foremost challenges. The most promising remedial solutions to challenges are also discussed. For the realization of a high performing and eco-friendly stabilized perovskite photovoltaic device, a combinational method involving multiple restorative solutions is required. A specific emphasis is given to unveiling interesting perovskite properties, and device fabrication approaches to the solutions. These remedies and strategies may help researchers to select appropriate methods and design their experiments to obtain a high photo-conversion efficiency in photovoltaic devices with enhanced stability as compared to conventional photovoltaic devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the odd-even vehicle restriction in the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT) in India were evaluated. And the authors found that car flow rates on roads were reduced by a significant amount.
Abstract: During periods from January 1 to January 15 and April 15 to April 30, 2016, the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, India, implemented an odd–even vehicle rule. Under this rule, between 08:00 and 20:00, only cars with even-numbered plates were allowed to operate on even-numbered dates of the calendar and only cars with odd-numbered plates on odd-numbered dates. In light of the varying experiences of vehicle restriction practices from around the world, this study evaluated the effects of both phases of the odd–even policy on transport patterns and vehicle use in Delhi. Observational surveys were carried out at four locations in Delhi to observe traffic flow and vehicle occupancy data. Speed data were extracted for 38 origin–destination pairs during the January phase and for 66 pairs for the April phase, with a sample of roads from all over Delhi and with Google Maps API (application programming interface) software. During the experimental periods, car flow rates on roads were reduced by ...

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between charge carrier lifetime and mobility in a bulk heterojunction based organic solar cell, utilizing diketopyrrolopyrole-naphthalene co-polymer and PC71BM in the photoactive blend layer, is investigated using the photoinduced charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage technique.
Abstract: The relationship between charge carrier lifetime and mobility in a bulk heterojunction based organic solar cell, utilizing diketopyrrolopyrole-naphthalene co-polymer and PC71BM in the photoactive blend layer, is investigated using the photoinduced charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage technique. Light intensity, delay time, and temperature dependent experiments are used to quantify the charge carrier mobility and density as well as the temperature dependence of both. From the saturation of photoinduced current at high laser intensities, it is shown that Langevin-type bimolecular recombination is present in the studied system. The charge carrier lifetime, especially in Langevin systems, is discussed to be an ambiguous and unreliable parameter to determine the performance of organic solar cells, because of the dependence of charge carrier lifetime on charge carrier density, mobility, and type of recombination. It is revealed that the relation between charge mobility (μ) and lifetime (τ) is inversely proportional, where the μτ product is independent of temperature. The results indicate that in photovoltaic systems with Langevin type bimolecular recombination, the strategies to increase the charge lifetime might not be beneficial because of an accompanying reduction in charge carrier mobility. Instead, the focus on non-Langevin mechanisms of recombination is crucial, because this allows an increase in the charge extraction rate by improving the carrier lifetime, density, and mobility simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of features called infinite chain descriptors (ICDs) was designed and developed especially to characterize organic polymers, utilizing methods with minimal dependence on predefined fragment libraries.
Abstract: To facilitate the development of new polymeric materials, we report the development of new heuristic models to predict the dielectric constant, band gap, dielectric loss tangent, and glass transition temperatures for organic polymers. A new set of features called infinite chain descriptors (ICDs) was designed and developed especially to characterize organic polymers, utilizing methods with minimal dependence on predefined fragment libraries. Machine learning models were built for the aforementioned properties incorporating best practices in the field such as objective feature selection, cross-validation and external test sets. All models produced in this study showed good performance in prediction. A web tool has been developed and has been made available that supports the input of novel structures.
