The power conversion efficiency has rapidly increased by more than 6 times to the current 25.5% in the past decade. Hole transport materials (HTMs) are an indispensable part of PSCs, which great affect the efficiency, the cost and the stability of PSCs. Inorganic Cu-based p-type semiconductors are a kind of representative inorganic HTMs in PSCs due to their unique advantages of rich variety, low cost, excellent hole mobility, adjustable energy levels, good stability, low temperature and scalable processing ability. In this review, the research progress in new materials and the control of photoelectric properties of Cu-based inorganic HTMs were first summarized systematically. And then, concerning different processing methods, advances of the interface engineering of Cu-based hole transport layers (HTLs) in PSCs were detailly discussed. Finally, the challenges and future trends of Cu-based inorganic HTMs and their interface engineering in PSCs were analyzed.展开更多

Herein, we report a facile and effective way to fabricate three-dimension(3D) ordered mesoporous Co1-xFexP(x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) electrocatalyst.Benefiting from 3D ordered mesoporous pore channels and composition optimization, the Co0.75Fe0.25 P exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activities with low overpotentials of 270 and 209 mV at 10 mA cm^-2 for oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER), respectively, in the alkaline electrolyte along with a durable electrochemical stability. In addition, as both the cathode and anode, the Co0.75Fe0.25P also exhibits superior electrolysis water splitting performance with only an applied voltage of 1.63 V to attain a current density of 10 m A cm^-2 without obvious decay for 18 h,indicating that the Co0.75Fe0.25P is an efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.展开更多

A new modification technology, rare earth gaseous penetration, was applied to enhance the conductivity of maifanite in this paper, and the mechanism for improving the conductivity of maifanite effectively was speculated in detail for the variations of the composition, structure and morphology between the original and Er-penetration maifanite powders. The results of the resistivity show that Er-penetration can really improve the conductivity of maifanite powders. When the penetration temperature is 500 ℃, the resistivity of maifanite surprisingly declines to 93.2 Ω·m. Moreover, XRD and XPS patterns display that the cations in maifanite are substituted by Er^(3+) successfully, resulting in the production of electrons in the system, which is the key reason to heighten the conductivity of maifanite. Most importantly, Erpenetration maifanite, whose price is really low, can replace the expensive conductive powders and be used in the electronic industry to decrease the cost of the electronic devices.展开更多
