Nanoparticle Surface Characterization

A scanning electron microscope with a sputter coater (FE-SEM, FEI, Apreo LoVac, TermoFisher Scientific, MA, United States ; EM UC7 Leica Ultra Microtome, Wetzlar, Germany (Sputter Coater)) was used to view the surface and size of the formed nanoparticles. A total of 50 µL of the formulation was spread evenly on an aluminum stub and left to dry under vacuum for 12 h. Sputter coating was achieved with gold under an inert environment. The sputter-coated sample was kept in a vacuum chamber to capture images at an acceleration voltage of 5 kV.

To analyze the particle size and morphological features of the nanocrystals and bulk drug, scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, FEI, Apreo LoVac, TermoFisher Scientific, MA, United States) was used. Around 50 µl of Rufi-NC suspension was placed on a carbon tape stuck to an aluminum stub. The Rufi-NC suspension was left under a vacuum to dry for 12 h. After complete drying, the samples, were sputter coated (Sputter Coater, Leica EM 200, Wetzlar, Germany) with a thin layer of gold in an inert gas (Argon) environment. The images were acquired at 5 kV acceleration voltage.

Characterization of Perovskite Composites

The absorption properties and elemental compositions and chemical and electron states of perovskite composites were analyzed with ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis, DektakXT) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The perovskite device configuration was examined via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, FEI Apreo LoVac). Perovskite composite bonds were analyzed via Fourier transform infrared (IR) transmittance measurements. The performance parameters of PSCs were measured with a solar simulator with a source meter (Keithley series 2400) at 100 mW cm−2 under AM 1.5 illumination, which was calibrated by a silicon reference cell. The dimension of the tested solar cells was 3 cm × 3 cm. The device performances were examined with a 0.16 cm2 mask/aperture. To understand the electrical characteristics of the devices, electronic impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed at 250 mV applied-bias under one sunlight intensity in the range from 1 Hz to 300 kHz.

Comprehensive Characterization of Perovskite Solar Cells

Morphologies of the perovskite films were imaged with a scanning electron microscope (SEM, FEI Apreo LoVac). The crystal structure was characterized by Bruker D8 Advance X‐ray diffractometer (XRD) with Cu Kα radiation at 40 kV and 40 mA. PL lifetime was measured by the time‐correlated single photon counting method with an Edinburgh Instruments FLS980 fluorescence spectrometer. The excitation source used was a picosecond pulsed diode laser at 532 nm.
The current density‒voltage (J‒V) curves of PSCs were recorded using a Keithley 2400 source measurement unit and a Newport solar simulator (ORIEL‐SOI3A) with an AM1.5G spectrum. All of flexible photovoltaic devices were measured in the flatten state. The light intensity was adjusted to 100 mW cm−2 using standard Si cell (91150V). Both forward and reverse scans were measured with the scanning speed of 0.15 V s−1. The EQE spectra were measured in DC mode on a spectrum corresponding system (Enlitech QE‐R), calibrated by Si reference solar cell.
The EL spectrum and ERE of the perovskite LED were recorded simultaneously by a commercialized system (XPQY‐EQE‐350‐1100, Guangzhou Xi Pu Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.) that is equipped with an integrated sphere (GPS‐4P‐SL, Labsphere) and a photodetector array (S7031‐1006, Hamamatsu Photonics).

Comprehensive Characterization of Thin Film

The film morphologies were characterized by SEM (FEI Apreo LoVac). The optical properties were measured by UV–vis spectrophotometer (Agilent Tech, Cary 5000). XRD and GIXRD: XRD measurements were performed by a Bruker D8 Advance X‐ray diffractometer with Cu Kα as the radiation source. GIXRD pattern was performed with incidence angle of 0.5° and five consecutive measurements were collected and averaged into single spectra. TEM and HRTEM: Samples for TEM were prepared by ablating the device using a focused ion beam microscope. Pt layers were deposited on top of the device for protection. TEM and HRTEM images were taken on a JEOL JEM 3200FS TEM at 300 kV. AFM and KPFM: The AFM and KPFM measurements were performed on a Bruker Dimension Icon with Nanoscope V controller. All the KPFM images were collected in lift mode by using SCM–PIT probes with a spring constant of 2.8 N m−1 and a resonant frequency of 78.3 kHz. During all KPFM measurements, the optimal lift height is 30 nm. UPS and XPS: UPS and XPS characterizations were obtained with a Thermo Fisher Scientific K‐Alpha+, using the HeI (21.22 eV) emission line and Al Kα radiation (1486.6 eV). X‐ray photoelectron depth profiling spectra were recorded by using Ar+ sputtering gun operated at 3 keV, rastering a 2.0 × 2.0 mm2 area with 5 s postetch delays.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
