Organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been around for over forty years. The most widely used form is based on thiols, bound to a metal surface. However, although the thiol SAMs are very ...

The electronic properties of graphene films are directly affected by the characteristics of the substrates on which they are grown or to which they are transferred. Researchers are taking advantage of ...

Surface functionalization using SAM (self-assembled monolayer) coverage is used in a variety of fields, including microfluidics, biosensors, semiconductor processes, biotechnology, medical implants, ...

A group of researchers led by China's Lingnan University has fabricated an inverted perovskite solar cell through what they called a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) stabilization strategy. Inverted ...

As technology continues to advance, scientists and engineers are constantly searching for more efficient and effective ways to create new materials and devices. One increasingly popular method is self ...

Researchers in China have developed an inverted perovskite solar cell based on a hole transport layer (HTL) with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) aimed at reducing passivating defects and increasing ...
