Imaging the Carrier Photogeneration in Nanoscale Phase Segregated Organic Heterojunctions by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy

, 2016
In this work, we spatially resolve by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) the surface photovoltage in high-efficiency nanoscale phase segregated photovoltaic blends of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid

Tailored D‐π Conjugation Boosts Piezocatalytic CO2 Reduction in a Platinum(II)‐Acetylide Framework

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The highly conjugated metalII‐acetylide framework demonstrates efficient ultrasound‐driven conversion of CO2 to CO. The piezoelectric field generated by ultrasound facilitates electron transfer from the tetraphenylene π‐column to the MII‐bis(acetylide) moiety, enabling CO2 activation. Compared to PdII‐ and NiII‐based analogues, the stronger d–π orbital

In Situ Pseudo‐Halide Diffusion Enables Buried Interface Regulation and Crystallinity Enhancement in Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Thermally activated LiHCOO induces in situ pseudo‐halide diffusion, promoting buried interface strain release and perovskite crystallization. The monoclinic LiHCOO phase forms an open framework structure that enhances HCOO− diffusion and drives interfacial restructuring.

Photoelectric‐Coupled Ferroelectric Heterojunctions for Ultrahigh NO2 Sensing With Polarization‐Memory‐Assisted Interfacial Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a Bi2WO6/SrBi2Ta2O9 heterojunction where light‐driven ferroelectric polarization reversal couples with persistent photoconductivity, enabling exclusive NO2 selective room‐temperature sensing. The device achieves a two‐order‐of‐magnitude sensitivity enhancement over an unpolarized device, a sub‐ppb detection limit, and robust ...

Lateral Piezoelectricity of Alzheimer's Aβ Aggregates

Advanced Science
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly aged over 65. The extracellular accumulation of beta‐amyloid (Aβ) aggregates in the brain is considered as the major event worsening the AD symptoms, but its ...

Ag Nanowire‐Integrated MoS2/ZnO Heterojunctions for Highly Efficient Photogenerated Charge Transfer

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 11, Issue 6, May 2025.
A versatile strategy is reported for fabricating multi‐dimensional heterojunctions with significantly improved charge transfer capability. By integrating Ag nanowires with a MoS2/ZnO heterojunction, a fourfold increase in surface photovoltage is achieved, reaching 200 mV under visible light illumination.

Characterization of quantum wells by cross sectional Kelvin probe force microscopy

, 2004
Cross-sectional Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) in ultrahigh vacuum is used to characterize the electronic structure of InGaAs/InP quantum wells. The KPFM signal shows clear peaks at the position of the quantum wells and exhibits a systematic trend ...

Twisted MoS2 Bilayers as Functional Elements in Memtransistors: Hysteresis, Optical Signatures, and Photocurrent Kinetics

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Layered 2D materials are considered as promising for memristive applications due to their ultimate vertical scalability compared to conventional semiconductor films and pronounced hysteresis properties. Bias‐resolved Raman and Photoluminescence mapping is used to quantify strain from phonon shifts and carrier density from the exciton‐trion ...
