The work-function of MoS2 interfacial layers can be efficiently modulated by p- and n-doping treatments. As a result, the PCE of devices with a p-doped MoS2-based HTL is increased from ∼2.8 to ∼3.4%. Particularly, after n-doping the PCE was dramatically increased due to the change in work-function compared with un-dop…

A novel yellow emitting long-persistent phosphor Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+,Dy3+ is developed. The incorporation of Dy3+ ions, which act as trap centers, largely extends the thermoluminescence characteristics and evidently enhances the persistent luminescence behavior of the phosphor. Both fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra…
