“…This treatment significantly restored the device’s electrical performance and the luminescence properties, demonstrating partial defect annihilation and restoration of the CIGS electronic structure. Interestingly, a non-irradiated SC subjected to the same HLS treatment showed no significant beneficial effect on the performance of the SC, which confirms the link between the observed recovery of the irradiated SCs and the annihilation of irradiation-induced defects. …”

(2) Construct the evaluation index system of carbon sinks in tea plantations, divided into social, living, industrial and population factors and other four categories of eight indicators. (3)The single-factor driver of tea plantation carbon sinks shows that it is mainly affected by industrial scale, population density and industrial structure, with q-values exceeding 0.5. (4)The interaction of the drivers shows that the urban-rural disparity and industrial scale have the highest interaction effect, with q-values reaching 0.9698. …”
