The crystal structures of the series of ordered double perovskites Ba(2-x)Sr(x)YIrO6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 2) were refined using a combination of high-resolution synchrotron X-ray and high-intensity neutron diffraction data. The materials displayed a sequence of structures Fm3̅m(a(0)a(0)a(0)) (x = 0.6)--> I4/m(a(0)a(0)c(-)) (x = 1.0)--> I2/m(a(-)a(-)c(0)) (x = 1.4)--> P2(1)/n(a(-)a(-)c(+)) associated with increased tilting of the corner-sharing octahedra induced by increasing amount of the smaller Sr cation present. A similar sequence of transitions was induced by heating selected samples. Magnetic susceptibility measurements between 2 and 300 K showed no evidence for long-range magnetic ordering, an observation that was supported by neutron diffraction measurements, and rather strong spin-orbit coupling results in a Jeff = 0 ground state.

SnO₂ is a widely used electron transport layer (ETL) material in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and its design and optimization are essential for achieving efficient and stable PSCs. In this study, the in situ formation of a chain entanglement gel polymer electrolyte is reported in an aqueous phase, integrated with SnO₂ as the ETL. Based on the self-polymerization of 3-[[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylammonium]propane-1-sulfonic acid (DAES) in an aqueous environment, combining the catalytic effect of LiCl (as a Lewis acid) with the salting-out effect, and the introduction of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the other polymer chain, a chain entanglement gelled SnO (G-SnO) structure is successfully constructed with a wide range of functions.

This work reports on the preparation process of a double-layer perovskite active layer. The first active layer film, CsKPEAPbIBr, was fabricated using a spin-coating method, while the second active layer, MAPbBr, was deposited using MAPbBr single crystals as the evaporation source. Additionally, doping the PEDOT: PSS hole transport layer with ETA and EDA can enhance the uniformity of the perovskite film and reduce voids, improving charge transport efficiency.
