Non-equilibrium polaronic quantum phase-condensate based electrical devices
Electrical devices operating in a range of 273 C. to 100 C. are disclosed. The devices include an insulating substrate. A UO.sub.2+x crystal or oriented crystal UO.sub.2+x film is on a first portion of the substrate. The UO.sub.2+x crystal or film originates and hosts a non-equilibrium polaronic quantum phase-condensate. A first lead on a second portion of the substrate is in electrical contact with the UO.sub.2+x crystal or film. A second lead on a third portion of the surface is in electrical contact with the UO.sub.2+x crystal or film. The leads are isolated from each other. A UO.sub.2+x excitation source is in operable communication with the UO.sub.2+X crystal or film. The source is configured to polarize a region of the crystal or film thereby activating the non-equilibrium quantum phase-condensate. One source state causes the UO.sub.2+X crystal or film to be conducting. Another source state causes the UO.sub.2+x crystal or film to be non-conductive.

Perovskite hybrid solar cells
Perovskite hybrid solar cells utilize a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) active layer that is formed as a composite of an organometal halide perovskite and a water soluble fullerene, such as A.sub.10C.sub.60. In alternative embodiments, the BHJ active layer may be formed as a composite of an organometal halide perovskite material and a fullerene, such as PC.sub.61BM. Thus, the fullerene acts as an electron extraction acceptor within the BHJ, allowing such solar cells to more efficiently transport the electrons from the fullerene/perovskite interface to a fullerene-based electron transport layer (ETL). As a result, increased fill factor (FF), as well as improvements in the short-circuit current density (J.sub.SC) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) are achieved by the solar cells.
Radio-frequency energy transfers or harvesting based on combining direct current signals from multiple antennas
A radio-frequency power receiving device has RF antennas connected to multiple controllable rectifying circuits to produce corresponding DC signals which are combined in a controllable switching network to produce a combined DC output. A control unit determines an amplitude control signal that controls each rectifying circuit and also determines switch control signals that control a switching network. The switching network controllably combines the direct-current signals to combine the multiple corresponding direct-current signals in series, in parallel, or in a combination of series and parallel.
