Designed Lewis Acid–Base Passivation for High Performance Perovskite Solar Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Silicon's high cost and long energy payback time remain major barriers to the global expansion of solar power. In contrast, metal–halide perovskites offer abundant, solution‐processable absorbers, and have achieved efficiencies of 25%–30%, positioning them as strong competitors to silicon.

Assessing the Accuracy of Contact Angle Measurements for Sessile Drops on Liquid-Repellent Surfaces [PDF]
Langmuir, 2011 Gravity-induced sagging can amplify variations in goniometric measurements of the contact angles of sessile drops on super-liquid-repellent surfaces. The very large value of the effective contact angle leads to increased optical noise in the drop profile near the solid-liquid free surface and the progressive failure of simple geometric approximations ...

Wetting Patterns of Liquid-Repellent Femtosecond Laser Textured Aluminum Surfaces
Coatings, 2022 Although liquid-repellent surfaces are in demand in many applications, their use is limited by the Cassie state’s sustainability to environmental factors, such as the repellency of liquids with a surface tension lower than that of water. This phenomenon remains not fully understood, despite a well-developed theory.

Origins of liquid-repellency on structured, flat, and lubricated surfaces
, 2018 There are currently three main classes of high-performance liquid-repellent surfaces: micro-/nano-structured lotus-effect superhydrophobic surfaces, flat surfaces grafted with 'liquid-like' polymer brushes, and various lubricated surfaces. Despite recent progress, the mechanistic understanding of the differences in droplet behavior on such surfaces is ...

Surface Chemistry Enhancements for the Tunable Super-Liquid Repellency of Low-Surface-Tension Liquids [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2019 Super-hydrophobic, super-oleo(amphi)phobic, and super-omniphobic materials are universally important in the fields of science and engineering. Despite rapid advancements, gaps of understanding still exist between each distinctive wetting state. The transition of super-hydrophobicity to super-(oleo-, amphi-, and omni-)phobicity typically requires the ...
