Selenium‐Incorporated Polymerized Nonfullerene Acceptors/SWCNT Composites with Polymer‐Assisted n‐Doping for High‐Performance Organic Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selenium‐incorporated polymerized nonfullerene acceptor PCB2Se forms a strong supramolecular complex with SWCNTs, enabling a record‐high zT of 0.29. Sequential N‐DMBI doping, mediated through a polymer‐assisted electron‐transfer pathway, successfully converts the PCB2Se/SWCNT composite into an efficient n‐type material with an impressive power factor ...

Bandwidth Allocation DBA (BA-DBA) Algorithm for xPON Networks

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2012
Optical Networks (PONs) technology is considered as a promising solution for the next-generation broadband access network. In this paper we present different dynamic bandwidth algorithms (DBA) and estimate the bandwidth between OLT and ONT in order to improve network efficiency and packet processing.
