Improving the Thermoelectric Properties of Conjugated Polymer Thin Films by Dip Coating – but not through Alignment

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates that dip coating at lower speeds significantly enhances the thermoelectric performance of P3HT by improving electrical conductivity. Contrary to expectations, this improvement is seemingly not due to polymer alignment but rather to better structural order achieved during slower solvent evaporation at lower dip coating speeds ...

Stability of Perovskite Indoor Photovoltaics: A Focused Review and a Call for Standardized Stability Reporting

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
While perovskite solar cells have been widely studied, including their stability, perovskite indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) have only recently emerged. Nevertheless, more studies are appearing in the literature. The systematic stability study of IPVs is crucial, particularly given the inconsistencies in reported methodologies and results, which call for ...
