Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data transmission method and associated devices. In the method, data collected by at least one monitoring device in a substation is received at a gateway. Further, a status of a connection between the gateway and a first network is detected, where the first network enables communication between the gateway and a server. Further, in response to detecting a disconnection between the gateway and the first network, the data is sent to a user device via a second network hosted by the gateway to enable the user device to forward the data to the server.

Abstract: Provided are an inverted thick 2D hybrid perovskite solar cell insensitive to film thickness and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials. The solar cell adopts a 2D hybrid perovskite thick-film material as a light absorption layer having thickness in a range of 500-800 nm, which is conducive to the full absorption of sunlight. The thick-film film material can be deposited from a precursor solution added with guanidine hydroiodide, and is composed of large grains growing along the thickness direction. The solar cell with an inverted structure prepared by using the thick-film material as a light absorption layer has an efficiency fluctuation less than 5% in a film thickness range of 500-800 nm. This is of great value for the preparation of high-performance hybrid perovskite solar cells by a large-area solution method.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper hybrid perovskite film with a gradient structural characteristic and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials. The film can be obtained by deposition from a precursor solution containing two spacer cations by a solution spin-coating method. The film is composed of large orientedly grown grains, has a high quality and good carrier transmission characteristics, and has a gradient structural characteristic with one of the spacer cations being enriched on the film surface, which is beneficial to obtain good moisture resistance stability. This is of great significance for the preparation of high-performance hybrid perovskite photoelectric devices by a solution method.

Abstract: A nanopore electrical sensor is provided. The sensor has layered structure, including a substrate (1), the first insulating layer (2), a symmetrical electrode (3) and the second insulating layer (5) from bottom to top in turn. A nanopore (6) is provided in the center of the substrate (1), the first insulating layer (2), the symmetrical electrode (3) and the second insulating layer (5). The thickness of the symmetrical electrode can be controlled between 0.3 nm and 0.7 nm so as to meet the resolution requirements for detecting a single base in a single-stranded DNA. Thus the sensor is suitable for gene sequencing. The present invention overcomes current technical insufficiency to integrate a nanoelectrode with a nanopore and the method to prepare the nanoelectrode is simple.
