Abstract: TiO2 is widely applied as a photoanode material for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as well as for corrosion protection. However, its stability during photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes is…
Advanced Materials Interfaces
Abstract: Molybdenum oxide (MoOx) thin films have been extensively investigated for selective hole extraction in solar cells, including as an efficient alternative to the well-studied p-type a-Si:H layers in Si…

Abstract: Chiral hybrid metal-halide perovskites show low-symmetry crystal structures, large Rashba splitting, spin-filtering, and strong chiroptical activity. Circular dichroism and circularly polarized…
Advanced Materials Interfaces
Abstract: Multinary nitrides and oxynitrides offer a range of tunable structural and optoelectronic properties. However, much of this vast compositional space remains to be explored due to the challenges…
Advanced Functional Materials
Abstract: Combining a precise sputter etching method with subsequent AlOx growth within an atomic layer deposition chamber enables the fabrication of atomically flat lateral patterns of SiO2 and AlOx. The…
