Nowadays, the power conversion efficiency of organometallic mixed halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is beyond 25%. To fabricate highly efficient and stable PSCs, the performance of metal oxide charge transport layers (CTLs) is one of the key factors. The CTLs are employed in PSCs to separate the electrons and holes generated in the perovskite active layer, suppressing the charge recombination rate so that the charge collection efficiency can be increased at their respective electrodes. In general, engineering of metal oxide electron transport layers (ETLs) is found to be dominated in the research community to boost the performance of PSCs due to the resilient features of ETLs such as excellent electronic properties, high resistance to thermal temperature and moisture, ensuring good device stability as well as their high versatility in material preparation. The metal oxide hole transport layers in PSCs are recently intensively studied. The performance of PSCs is found to be very promising by using optimized hole transport materials. This review concisely discusses the evolution of some prevalent metal oxide charge transport materials (CTMs) including TiO2, SnO2, and NiOx, which are able to yield high-performance PSCs. The article begins with introducing the development trend of PSCs using different types of CTLs, pointing out the important criteria for metal oxides being effective CTLs, and then a variety of preparation methods for CTLs as employed by the community for high-performance PSCs are discussed. Finally, the challenges and prospects for future research direction toward scalable metal oxide CTM-based PSCs are delineated.

The results of experiments on the study of polarization phenomena and the charge collection efficiency in test structures of diamond ionizing radiation detectors using diamond plates of various types, including single-crystal NRNT-type, single-crystal CVD-type, as well as polycrystalline type, when exposed to alpha-radiation with an energy of 5.5 MeV are presented. Studies have demonstrated the existence of a number of problems with the device quality of diamond plates that affect the performance of spec-trometric-type detectors.

The high recombination rate of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, poor photocorrosion stability, and the discrepancy between the optical absorption length and charge collection efficiency of cupric oxide (CuO) are the main limiting factors of CuO photocatalysts.
