AbstractOrganic and hybrid (organic/inorganic) solar cells are an attractive alternative to traditional silicon-based photovoltaics due to low-temperature, solution-based processing and the potential for rapid, easily scalable manufacturing. Using oxide semiconductors, instead of fullerenes, as the electron acceptor and transporter in hybrid solar cells has the added advantages of better environmental stability, higher electron mobility, and the ability to engineer interfacial band offsets and hence the photovoltage. Further improvements to this structure can be made by using metal oxide nanostructures to increase heterojunction areas, similar to bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics. However, compared to all-organic solar cells, these hybrid devices produce far lower photocurrent, making improvement of the photocurrent the highest priority. This points to a less than optimized polymer/metal oxide interface for carrier separation. In this article, we summarize recent work on examining the polymer structure, electron transfer, and recombination at the polythiophene-ZnO interface in hybrid solar cells. Additionally, the impact of chemical modification at the donor-acceptor interface on the device characteristics is reviewed.

Implant surface design has evolved to meet oral rehabilitation challenges in both healthy and compromised bone. For example, to conquer the most common dental implant-related complications, peri-implantitis, and subsequent implant loss, implant surfaces have been modified to introduce desired properties to a dental implant and thus increase the implant success rate and expand their indications. Until now, a diversity of implant surface modifications, including different physical, chemical, and biological techniques, have been applied to a broad range of materials, such as titanium, zirconia, and polyether ether ketone, to achieve these goals. Ideal modifications enhance the interaction between the implant’s surface and its surrounding bone which will facilitate osseointegration while minimizing the bacterial colonization to reduce the risk of biofilm formation. This review article aims to comprehensively discuss currently available implant surface modifications commonly used in implantology in terms of their impact on osseointegration and biofilm formation, which is critical for clinicians to choose the most suitable materials to improve the success and survival of implantation.
