Organic/Si hybrid solar cells have attracted considerable attention for their uncomplicated fabrication process and superior device efficiency, making them a promising candidate for sustainable energy applications. However, the efficient collection and separation of charge carriers at the organic/Si heterojunction interface are primarily hindered by the inadequate work function of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). Here, the application of a high-work-function MoO film onto the n-Si/PEDOT:PSS surface leads to a notable enhancement in the device's built-in potential.

Several strategies and approaches have been reported for improving the resilience and optoelectronic properties of perovskite films. However, fabricating a desirable and stable perovskite absorber layer is still a great challenge due to the optoelectronic and fabrication limitations of the materials. Here, we introduce diethylammonium bromide (DABr) as a post-treatment material for the pre-deposited methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI) film to fabricate a high-quality two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) stacked hetero-structure perovskite film.

Thermal emitters with properties of wavelength-selective and narrowband have been highly sought after for a variety of potential applications due to their high energy efficiency in the mid-infrared spectral range. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the tunable narrowband thermal emitter based on fully planar Si-W-SiN/SiNO multilayer, which is realized by the excitation of Tamm plasmon polaritons between a W layer and a SiN/SiNO-distributed Bragg reflector. In conjunction with electromagnetic simulations by the FDTD method, the optimum structure design of the emitter is implemented by 2.

A carrier-selective passivating contact is one of the main factors for the preparation of high-efficiency solar cells. In this work, a one-dimensional nanostructured CdS material combined with quasi-metallic TiN exhibits excellent contact performance with n-Si. In addition, the introduction of the CdS nanowire interlayer is more conducive to the extraction and transmission of electrons, which is attributed to a more suitable energy level alignment between the rear contact and the n-Si absorption layer.

The growing attention in solar energy has motivated the development of highly efficient solar absorbers, and a metasurface absorber with broadband optical absorption is one of the main research interests. In this study, we developed an efficient metasurface absorber on a flexible film with a simple fabrication process. It consists of a polyimide nanocone substrate coated with gold and tungsten layers, exhibiting over 96% optical absorption in the visible range and a tunable absorption performance in the long wave range.

Inorganic perovskites have emerged as a promising candidate for light-emitting devices due to their high stability and tunable band gap. However, the power consumption and brightness have always been an issue for perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). Here, we improved the luminescence intensity and decreased the current density of the PeLEDs based on CsPbI₃ quantum dots (QDs) and p-type Si substrate through an alternating current (AC) driving mode.
