Phase Evolution Kinetics in Additive‐Free 19.75% Organic Photovoltaics Empowered by Solvent Vapor Annealing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solvent vapor annealing enables kinetic control of additive‐free morphology in organic solar cells. Selective plasticization of acceptor forms an optimal fibrillar network, boosting efficiency to 19.06% (binary) and 19.75% (ternary), with ultrafast exciton dissociation and reduced recombination.

Study of the stability of the fiber-optic current sensor

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract Optical fiber sensors are of particular interest for applications in the high-voltage environments of the electric power industry due to their characteristic properties including dielectric nature, immunity to electro-magnetic interference, and small size and weight. We have studied current sensor that employs the Faraday effect
