Halogen doping raises carrier density in metal chalcogenide films, delivering low sheet resistance, high transparency, and bend stability at room temperature.
Adjusting polar and alkyl side-chain ratios controls electrochromic polymer viscosity and coating thickness to avoid cracks and weak films.
Aqueous H2O2 sonication turns MoS2 suspensions into conductive thin films, avoiding costly lithium intercalation and complex hydrothermal steps.
Aligning valence and conduction bands in heavily doped PbTe raises the thermoelectric figure of merit above 1.5 at high temperatures.
