Interfacial passivation engineering plays a crucial role in the explosive development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, previous studies on passivation layers mainly focused on the defect-passivation mechanism rather than the interfacial charge transport efficiency. Here, by precisely tuning the interplanar spacing of the ammonium iodide passivation layer, we elucidate the promoting effect of the reduced interplanar spacing of the passivation layer on the photogenerated hole tunneling efficiency at the interface of the hole transport layer and perovskite. Compared with the commonly used phenethylammonium iodide passivation layer with a wider interplanar spacing, 2-chlorobenzylammonium iodide with a narrower interplanar spacing can help break through the thickness limitation of the passivation layer, thus showing a better comprehensive passivation effect. Therefore, we demonstrate photovoltaic devices with an enhanced fill factor (FF) and open-circuit voltage (), which yield a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 23.1%. We thus identify an efficient scheme to achieve optimal passivation conditions for high-performance PSCs.

Context: In this work, the release behaviors of element from albite by mannose are studied experimentally, and the corresponding decomposition mechanism is explored from a microscopic perspective via density functional theory (DFT) calculations, with the aim of promoting the development of a microbial mineral weathering theory. The sodium, silicon and aluminium in albite are released into a solution under the action of mannose, and the release of these elements makes the surface of albite rough and decreases crystallinity and interplanar spacing of the crystal. The DFT results show that the hydroxyl H atom in mannose forms a hydrogen bond with the O atom on the surface of albite, thus causing the surface atoms to move away from their original positions, destroying the stability of the silica tetrahedron.

Mn doping imposes intriguing optoelectronic properties on lead-halide perovskites; however, its impact on their crystal structure remains unclear. This study investigates the consequences of interstitial and substitutional Mn doping on the lattice-strain and interplanar spacings of 2D perovskites and correlates the structural changes to their optical properties.

Self-healing materials are highly desirable in the nuclear industry to ensure nuclear security. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to developing self-healing materials in the past half century, very limited successes have been reported for ceramics or metals. Here, we report an intrinsic self-healing material of TiAlC MAX phase, which exhibits both ceramic and metallic properties, and a strategy for further enhancing the self-healing via irradiation is proposed.

In this work, we reported the synthesis of honey bee (Apis mellifera) venom-derived nanoparticles via a hydrothermal method. This method not only ensures the preservation of the bee venom's bioactive components but also enhances their potential stability, thus broadening the scope for their applications in the biomedicinal field. The synthesis method started with the homogenization suspension of bee venom, followed by its hydrothermal process to synthesize bee venom nanoparticles (BVNPs).
