Decoupling the Impact of Deep‐Trap and Band‐Tail States on PbS Quantum Dot Photodetectors via Alkylamine Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Band‐tail and deep trap states are effectively disentangled through the use of selective alkylamine additives. PA‐driven 2D ordering narrows band tails, while HA enhances halide passivation and Pb coordination to suppress deep traps. A comparative study of their CQD short‐wave infrared (SWIR) photodetectors further reveals whether band‐tail states or ...

Solar cooling: scool

open access: yes, 2015
The global air conditioning (AC) market is still a rapidly growing one. People in countries like India and China also want the luxury of living and working in air conditioned rooms, which will create a huge energy demand. With the limited resources of fossil energy left, there is a need for a different approach for cooling.
