Interface function material has been widely used to reduce interfacial potential barrier for enhanced charge-dynamics and photovoltaic properties of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, ternary oxides Fe2-xMgxO3 are introduced to passivate the perovskite/SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) interface. The...

Understanding the logic of fiscal decentralization is pivotal to the next steps of fiscal reform. The first step is a retrospection of the literature and evidence accumulated in the field. As a typical transition economy with rapid and extensive devolution reforms, China is the ideal context to...
