However, the specific action mechanisms by which polymer binders within electronic pastes, as well as the synergistic effects among different polymers, remain insufficiently explored. The effects of various polymer binders on the rheological and printing properties of organic carriers and electronic pastes were systematically investigated. The optimal concentration of polymer binders was determined by the viscosity of organic carriers and the wettability of silicon wafers.

Additionally, screen printing was employed to evaluate the action mechanisms of polymer binders in electronic pastes.

The main results are as follows: The laminate weld microstructures with different layer widths could be designed by varying the switching-on/off time of the ultrasonic vibrations. The stratification features become less distinct when the switching-on/off time is short, as this leads to a reduced distance between layers. Weld microstructures with obvious delamination characteristics can be obtained when the switching-on/off time is 0.4 s and 0.7 s. Following the application of periodic ultrasonic vibration, a significant increase in both dislocation density within the weld grains and the number of subgrain boundaries was observed. The interfacial density and subgrain structure play a crucial role in determining the wear and corrosion resistance properties of weld.

Based on a series of tests, the device performance improvement mainly came from the increase of short circuit current density (J_SC), resulting from the reflection enhancement by Al₂O₃ particles at the CIGS/Mo interface, which promotes the light absorption by CIGS film. In addition, the effect on the three-step co-evaporation process led to a red shift in the absorption limit, thereby increasing the quantum efficiency. Further, Al₂O₃ particles buried at the rear interface exhibited more negative potential than the uncovered locations, which inhibits the diffusion of minority carriers toward the rear interface and decreases the recombination of carriers. In summary, the local passivation near the rear interface brings an absolute efficiency increase of 0.75 % over the average efficiency of the reference cell, and a 17.76 % efficient solar cell was fabricated with an optimal coverage of Al₂O₃ particles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22081,"journal":{"name":"Surfaces and Interfaces","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 106516"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the current study synthesised CoMn₄N/Co-Mn-N<em>_x</em>-CNT-200–800, a CoMn-based catalyst with Co and Mn₄N nanocluster active sites, and examined its performance in AB hydrolysis. CoMn₄N/Co-Mn-N<em>_x</em>-CNT-200–800 generated three equivalents of H₂ from AB within 5 min, outperforming the catalytic activity of previously reported Co NPs/Co SACs. Moreover, CoMn₄N/Co-Mn-N<em>_x</em>-CNT-200–800 maintained over 90 % of its initial activity after 50 cycles of AB hydrolysis. This exceptional long-term stability is attributable to CoMn₄N/Co-Mn-N<em>_x</em>-CNT-200–800 bearing Co/Mn₄N nanoclusters that were strongly adhered onto graphitic layers, thereby preventing metal-atom aggregation and leakage during AB hydrolysis.
