Spontaneous formation of a self-healing carbon nanoskin at the liquid-liquid interface

Holger Frauenrath, Paul Grandgeorge, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Nicolas Candau, Reuben Yeo Jueyuan, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Biological membranes exhibit the ability to self-repair and dynamically change their shape while remaining impermeable. Yet, these defining features are difficult to reconcile with mechanical robustness. Here, we report on the spontaneous formation of a ca ...

Unlocking the potential of boronsilicate glass passivation for industrial tunnel oxide passivated contact solar cells

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

In this work, we present a breakthrough in boronsilicate glass (BSG) passivated industrial tunnel oxide passivated contact (i-TOPCon) solar cells. We find that a high-temperature firing process significantly improves the front side BSG passivation quality; ...

Angstrom-Scale Transparent Overcoats: Interfacial Nitrogen-Driven Atomic Intermingling Promotes Lubricity and Surface Protection of Ultrathin Carbon

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Lubricity, a phenomenon which enables the ease of motion of objects, and wear resistance, which minimizes material damage or degradation, are important fundamental characteristics for sustainable technology developments. Ultrathin coatings that promote lub ...

A Comprehensive Fundamental Understanding of Atomic Layer Deposited Titanium Oxide Films for c-Si Solar Cell Applications

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Titanium oxide (TiOx) film shows excellent surface passivation of crystalline silicon (c-Si) as well as carrier selectivity. The coexistence of both these properties along with extraordinary optical properties of TiOx opens new opportunities to design nove ...

Graphene overcoats for ultra-high storage density magnetic media

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Hard disk drives (HDDs) are used as secondary storage in digital electronic devices owing to low cost and large data storage capacity. Due to the exponentially increasing amount of data, there is a need to increase areal storage densities beyond similar to ...

Solution Processable High Performance Multiwall Carbon Nanotube-Si Heterojunctions

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-silicon (Si) heterojunctions show exceptional electrical behavior and hence are promising for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In particular, single wall CNTs (SWCNTs)-Si heterojunctions have been widely studied for these a ...

Hexayne Amphiphiles and Bolaamphiphiles

Rosario Scopelliti, Holger Frauenrath, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Vincent Matthieu Guillaume Croué, Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Oligoynes with two or more conjugated carbon-carbon triple bonds are useful precursors for carbon-rich nanomaterials. However, their range of app0lications has so far been severly limited by the challenging syntheses, particularly in the case of oligoynes ...

Boosting contact sliding and wear protection via atomic intermixing and tailoring of nanoscale interfaces

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Friction and wear cause energy wastage and system failure. Usually, thicker overcoats serve to combat such tribological concerns, but in many contact sliding systems, their large thickness hinders active components of the systems, degrades functionality, a ...

Growth and Composition of Atomic Layer Deposited Titanium Oxide Films for c-Si Solar Cell Applications

Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

In this work, a detailed study on the growth and composition of atomic layer deposited (ALD) titanium oxide (TiOx) films on crystalline silicon (c-Si) substrates is presented. The effects of deposition temperature from 100 to 400 degrees C and post-deposit ...
