Abstract Studies have shown that perovskites have a high potential of outdoing silicon based solar cells in terms of solar energy conversion, but their rate of degradation is also high. This study reports on improvement on the stability of CH3NH3PbI3 by passivating it with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Structural and electronic properties of CH3NH3PbI3 stabilized by polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) were investigated by varying concentrations of PMMA in the polymer solutions. Stability tests we...
Excellent mechanical properties plus to the good biocompatibility of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are offering them as efficient nanodevices for delivering of nanoparticles. Due to the friction between the outer surface of the nanoparticle and the inner surface of the SWCNTs, mass weight of the nanoparticle, and the interactional van der Waals (vdW) forces between the constitutive atoms of the nanoparticle and those of the SWCNT, both longitudinal and transverse waves propagate wit...
Interaction of a moving nanoparticle with a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is of concern. The SWCNT is simulated by an equivalent continuum structure (ECS) under simply supported boundary conditions. The moving nanoparticle is modeled by a moving point load by considering its full inertial effects and Coulomb friction with the inner surface of the ECS. The ECS under the moving nanoparticle is modeled based on the Rayleigh, Timoshenko, and higher-order beam theories in the context of th...
The potential applications of nano plates in energy storage, chemical and biological sensors, solar cells, field emission, and transporting of nano cars have been attracted the attentions of the nanotechnology community to them during recent years. Herein, the later application of nano plates from non local elastodynamic point of view is of interest. To this end, dynamic response of a nano plate subjected to a moving nano particle is examined with in the context of non local continuum theory ...
