The purpose of this study is to investigate the oxidation behaviors of the TA15 titanium alloy and TiBw/TA15 composite with network microstructure in the temperature range of 873–1073 K.The results show that the oxidation kinetics of the TA15 titanium alloy and TiBw/TA15 composite follows different laws at various oxidation temperatures.Moreover,the effective activation energy Q for oxidation of the TA15 titanium alloy and TiBw/TA15 composite is determined to be 299±19.9 kJ/mol and 339±8.31 kJ/mol at the temperature of 973–1073 K,respectively.The experimental achievements of oxidation kinetics and oxide scales formed in the test temperatures indicate that the TiBw/TA15 composite exhibits a higher oxidation resistance than TA15 titanium alloy.A schematic diagram of oxidation mechanism is established to further reveal the oxidation process for TiBw/TA15 composite at elevated temperatures.
The improvement in the efficiency of inverted perovskite solar cells(PSCs)is significantly limited by undesirable contact at the NiO_(x)/perovskite interface.In this study,a novel microstructure-control technology is proposed for fabrication of porous NiO_(x)films using Pluronic P123 as the structure-directing agent and acetylacetone(AcAc)as the coordination agent.The synthesized porous NiO_(x)films enhanced the hole extraction efficiency and reduced recombination defects at the NiO_(x)/perovskite interface.Consequently,without any modification,the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of the PSC with MAPbl_(3)as the absorber layer improved from 16.50%to 19.08%.Moreover,the PCE of the device composed of perovskite Cs0.05(MA_(0.15)FA_(0.85))_(0.95)Pb(I_(0.85)Br_(0.15))_(3)improved from 17.49%to 21.42%.Furthermore,the application of the fabricated porous NiO_(x)on fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO)substrates enabled the fabrication of large-area PSCs(1.2 cm^(2))with a PCE of 19.63%.This study provides a novel strategy for improving the contact at the NiO_(x)/perovskite interface for the fabrication of high-performance large-area perovskite solar cells.
