Abstract:
A novel hybrid hole transport layer (HTL) of CuInSe2 quantum dots (QDs)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was developed to enhance the performance of halide metal perovskite (MAPbI3)-based photodetectors. The introduction of CuInSe2 QDs not only improved the wettability of the PEDOT:PSS HTL for the growth of perovskite crystals but also facilitated the transportation of holes from the perovskite to the HTL. As a result, both responsivity and detectivity of the device were increased dramatically by CuInSe2 QDs hybrid HTL, showing excellent photoresponsivity of 240 mA/W, larger ratio of photocurrent density to dark current density of 4.1 × 106, fast on-off switching properties of <0.02 s, and remarkable detectivity values of 1.02 × 1013 Jones at 580 nm and above 5.01 × 1012 Jones over the visible light region without an external bias voltage. In addition, the photodetectors also showed excellent thermal stability in the range of 10-110 °C. Therefore, a unique design idea of a hole transport material would be an anticipated direction for efficient halide metal perovskite-based devices.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
