Poly(3-hexylthiophene)/perovskite Heterointerface by Spinodal Decomposition Enabling Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells.

The best research-cell efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is comparable with that of mature silicon solar cells (SSCs); However, the industrial development of PSCs lags far behind SSCs. PSC is a multiphase and multicomponent system, whose consequent interfacial energy loss and carrier loss seriously affect the performance and stability of devices. Here, by using spinodal decomposition, a spontaneous solid phase segregation process, in situ introduces a poly(3-hexylthiophene)/perovskite (P3HT/PVK) heterointerface with interpenetrating structure in PSCs.

Improving Crystallization and Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells Using a Low-Temperature Treated A-Site Cation Solution in the Sequential Deposition.

The two-step sequential deposition is a commonly used method by researchers for fabricating perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its reproducibility and tolerant preparation conditions. However, the less-than-favorable diffusive processes in the preparation process often result in subpar crystalline quality in the perovskite films. In this study, we employed a simple strategy to regulate the crystallization process by lowering the temperature of the organic-cation precursor solutions.

Symmetry-Breaking Induced Dipole Enhancement for Efficient Spiro-Type Hole Transporting Materials: Easy Synthesis with High Stability.

Spiral cores are crucial for designing efficient hole transporting materials (HTMs) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), owing to their no-planar 3D architecture, high thermal stability, good solubility, and beneficial solid-state morphology. A lack of facile synthetic procedures for the spiral core limited the development of novel and stable spiral HTMs. In this regard, a one-step reaction is adopted to produce several novel acceptor-embedded spiral cores containing electron-withdrawing carbonyl group embedded orthogonal spiral conformation.

Two new compounds from .

Two new compounds verboncin A () and verboncin B () and 14 known compounds ( and ) were isolated from , and these 14 compounds were first obtained from this plant. Their chemical structures were established by one and two-dimensional NMR and HRESIMS analysis and the results were compared with literature values. The absolute configuration of was determined by calculating electronic circular dichroism (ECD).

Thermally Stable D Symmetric Donor-π-Donor Porphyrins as Hole-Transporting Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells.

A series of new D symmetric porphyrins (MDA4, MTA4, and MDA8) with donor-π-donor structures have been synthesized as the hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The novel porphyrin molecules feature a D symmetrically substituted Zn porphyrin core and two kinds of donor systems (diarylamine (DAA) and triarylamine (TAA)), which can regulate energy level, increase thermal stability, solubility, and hydrophobicity via long alkoxyl chains. PSC devices based on MDA4 as the HTM showed impressive power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.

Rhein activated Fas-induced apoptosis pathway causing cardiotoxicity in vitro and in vivo.

Rhein, one of the main active components of rhubarb (Dahuang) and Polygonum multiflorum (Heshouwu), has a wide range of effective pharmacological effects. Recently, increasing studies have focused on its potential hepatorenal toxicity, but the cardiotoxicity is unknown. In this study, we found that the IC of rhein to H9c2 cells at 24 h and 48 h were 94.

Deciphering the Reduced Loss in High Fill Factor Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells with Methoxy-Substituted Poly(Triarylamine) as the Hole Selective Contact.

A dopant-free polymeric hole selective contact (HSC) layer is ubiquitous for stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the intrinsic nonwetting nature of the polymeric HSC impedes the uniform spreading of the perovskite precursor solution, generating a terrible buried interface. Here, we dexterously tackle this dilemma from the perspective of dispersive and polar component surface energies of the HSC layer.

Grain Boundary Engineering with Self-Assembled Porphyrin Supramolecules for Highly Efficient Large-Area Perovskite Photovoltaics.

Grain boundary management is critical to the performance and stability of polycrystalline perovskite solar cells (PSCs), especially large-area devices. However, typical passivators are insulating in nature and limit carrier transport. Here, we design a supramolecular binder for grain boundaries to simultaneously passivate defects and promote hole transport across perovskite grain boundaries.

Hip Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation for Adolescent Acetabular Posterior Wall Fracture: A Case Report.

Background: Posterior wall fracture is the most common type of acetabular fracture, the traditional open reduction and fixation through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach required a large incision and extensive muscle and soft tissue dissection, resulting in more blood loss, more complications and delayed recovery after the operation. Hip arthroscopy has been widely used in clinical practice but rarely reported in acetabular fractures.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with acetabular posterior wall fracture who was treated with hip arthroscopy reduction and fixation using anchors.

Marked Passivation Effect of Naphthalene-1,8-Dicarboximides in High-Performance Perovskite Solar Cells.

As game-changers in the photovoltaic community, perovskite solar cells are making unprecedented progress while still facing grand challenges such as improving lifetime without impairing efficiency. Herein, two structurally alike polyaromatic molecules based on naphthalene-1,8-dicarboximide (NMI) and perylene-3,4-dicarboximide (PMI) with different molecular dipoles are applied to tackle this issue. Contrasting the electronically pull-pull cyanide-substituted PMI (9CN-PMI) with only Lewis-base groups, the push-pull 4-hydroxybiphenyl-substituted NMI (4OH-NMI) with both protonic and Lewis-base groups can provide better chemical passivation for both shallow- and deep-level defects.

Two reviewers selected the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs assessing the comparative effectiveness and safety of various operative treatments for OLT.

cPCN-Regulated SnO Composites Enables Perovskite Solar Cell with Efficiency Beyond 23.

Efficient electron transport layers (ETLs) not only play a crucial role in promoting carrier separation and electron extraction in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) but also significantly affect the process of nucleation and growth of the perovskite layer. Herein, crystalline polymeric carbon nitrides (cPCN) are introduced to regulate the electronic properties of SnO nanocrystals, resulting in cPCN-composited SnO (SnO-cPCN) ETLs with enhanced charge transport and perovskite layers with decreased grain boundaries. Firstly, SnO-cPCN ETLs show three times higher electron mobility than pristine SnO while offering better energy level alignment with the perovskite layer.

Plasmon-Enhanced Perovskite Solar Cells with Efficiency Beyond 21 %: The Asynchronous Synergistic Effect of Water and Gold Nanorods.

Although perovskite films have excellent extinction coefficients, further increase of the light-absorbing capacity by increasing the thickness of the active layer is always required in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, to maintain the morphology quality of the perovskite layer, the film thickness is subject to certain restrictions. To increase the light absorbance without significantly inflating the perovskite film while keeping the high quality of the perovskite film, herein, we added an aqueous solution of gold nanorods (AuNRs) to the perovskite precursor solution via a so-called asynchronous synergistic effect (ASE) strategy of water and AuNR.

The roles of fused-ring organic semiconductor treatment on SnO in enhancing perovskite solar cell performance.

NdCl Dose as a Universal Approach for High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells Based on Low-Temperature-Processed SnO.

The defects on the surface of low-temperature-processed electronic transport layers hindered the development of efficient flexible perovskite solar cells. Herein, we develop a universal NdCl dosing strategy to circumvent the residual Sn(II)-OH defects from the incomplete wet-chemical reaction. The introduction of NdCl does not lead to the doping of Nd ions but rather the formation of a composite film of NdCl with SnO.
