Halide perovskite films processed from solution at low-temperature offer promising opportunities to make flexible solar cells. However, the brittleness of perovskite films is an issue for mechanical stability in flexible devices. Herein, photo-crosslinked [6,6]-phenylC -butyric oxetane dendron ester (C-PCBOD) is used to improve the mechanical stability of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI ) perovskite films. Also, it is demonstrated that C-PCBOD passivates the grain boundaries, which reduces the formation of trap states and enhances the environmental stability of MAPbI . Thus, MAPbI perovskite solar cells are prepared on solid and flexible substrates with record efficiencies of 20.4% and 18.1%, respectively, which are among the highest ever reported for MAPbI on both flexible and solid substrates. The result of this work provides a step improvement toward stable and efficient flexible perovskite solar cells.

Molten salts are important in a number of energy applications, but the fundamental mechanisms operating in ionic liquids are poorly understood, particularly at higher temperatures. This is despite their candidacy for deployment in solar cells, next-generation nuclear reactors, and nuclear pyroprocessing. We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations over a variety of molten chloride salt compositions at varying temperature and pressures to calculate the thermodynamic and transport properties of these liquids.

Polymer hole transport materials offer significant efficiency and stability advantages for p-i-n perovskite solar cells. However, the energetic disorder of amorphous polymer hole transport materials not only limits carrier transport but also impedes contact between the polymer and perovskite, hindering the formation of high crystalline quality perovskites. Herein, a novel low energetic disordered polymer hole transport material, PF8ICz, featuring an indeno[3,2-b]carbazole unit with extended π-conjugation is designed and synthesized.

The development of front-side pastes suitable for devices with high sheet resistance such as tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon), is of great significance but remains a considerable challenge. The optimization of the Ag-Si contact interface is crucial for enhancing contact and improving the efficiency of these devices. This work investigates the front-side Ag pastes with low Al content (<2 wt.

Hydrogen is increasingly acknowledged as a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, the photothermal properties of CoFeS, a photocatalyst displaying metal-like behavior, have not been adequately explored in the context of photocatalytic H generation. To improve photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, it is crucial to understand how to expedite the transfer of photogenerated electrons and the dissociation of H-OH bonds for enhanced hydrogen ion release.
