Symmetric Dopant‐Free Si Solar Cells Enabled by TiOx Nanolayers: An In‐Depth Study on Bipolar Carrier Selectivity by Takuya Matsui, Shohei Fukaya, Shona McNab, James McQueen, Kazuhiro Gotoh, Hitoshi Sai, Noritaka Usami, Ruy Sebastian Bonilla

“…The hole/electron selectivity of the TiOx layers (≈5 nm) is tailored by the oxidation process and the choice of Ti precursor in the atomic layer deposition (ALD). Ex situ and in situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements elucidate that the hole‐selective TiOx induces significant band bending in the Si (Φ≈0.7 eV), generating a p‐type inversion layer in the n‐Si absorber. …”

Enhanced green density of binder jetted tungsten heavy alloys with an inorganic metal salt binder by Yuhua Heng, Yiwei Mao, Kunhao Feng, Jianan Zheng, Yingmi Xie, Qingsong Wei

“…This paper introduced a novel inorganic metal salt binder that could generate nanoparticles in situ among the substrate powders. Clearly, the nanoparticles (average size: 360 nm) generated in situ, occupied the interparticle voids between the substrate powders after pretreatment, thereby enhancing the green and pretreated density and reducing the sintering temperature. …”
