We have revealed for the first time that BiVO₄ photoanodes can be used even in strong acid media by mixing organic solvents into the electrolyte and depositing multilayers with a WO₃ bottom layer. In general, the BiVO₄ photoanodes are photocorrosive, especially in acid solutions. However, this shortcoming has been overcome using a combination of the two aforementioned modifications. We deduced tha ...

Abstract:
... In light-emitting diodes (LEDs), balanced electron and hole transport is of particular importance to achieve high rates of radiative recombination. Most quantum dot (QD)-based LEDs, however, employ infinitesimal core–shell QDs which inherently have different electron and hole mobilities. As QDs are the core building blocks of QD-LEDs, the inherent mobility difference in the core–shell QDs causes s ...
