In recent years, perovskite-based solar cell technologies have sparked much interest. Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) are a type of perovskite that has shown promise in various optoelectronic applications. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic-inorganic perovskite materials is improving with new materials development. However, inorganic materials studied in labs have limited PCE. Lead-free tin halide CHNHSnX shows good PCE. In this work, we study the electrical characteristics of tin halide as a perovskite absorbing layer in planar heterojunction solar cells with the help of GPVDM solar cell simulation software. A comparative study of power conversion efficiency has been done for tin halide of chloride, bromide, and iodide. The effect of electron and hole drift-diffusion, carrier continuity equations in position space to represent charge flow within the device, Poisson's equation, and charge carrier recombination has been studied in detail.

Hypothesis: Complex emulsions usually consist of aqueous phases, like oil-in-water-in-oil (o/w/o) and water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w), serving foundational roles in colloid science. Oil-in-oil-oil (o/o/o) emulsions offer new avenues for non-aqueous reagents but face challenges in balancing the forces between multiple organic phases.
Experiments: In this work, we generate o/o/o emulsions by integrating an AC electric field with a double cross-junction microchannel.

The side-chain directions in nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) strongly influence the intermolecular interactions in NFAs; however, the influence of these side chains on the morphologies and charge carrier dynamics of Y6-based acceptors remains underexplored. In this study, we synthesize four distinct Y6-based acceptors, i.e.

Asymmetric substitution is acknowledged as a straightforward yet potent approach for the optimization of small molecule acceptors (SMAs), thereby enhancing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, we have successfully engineered and synthesized a novel asymmetric SMA, designated as Y6-R, which features a rhodanine-terminated inner side-chain. In devices with PM6 as the polymer donor, the asymmetric Y6-R demonstrated an impressive PCE of 18.

Wide band gap FACsPb(IBr) perovskite photovoltaic (PV) devices are measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the through-the-glass configuration and analyzed to determine the complex optical property spectra of the perovskite absorber as well as the structural properties of all constituent layers. This information is used to simulate external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra, to calculate PV device performance parameters such as short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, fill factor, and power conversion efficiency, and to develop strategies for increasing the accuracy of predictions. Simulations and calculations tend to overestimate PV device performance parameters, undermining the accuracy and usefulness of those simulations.

Nitrenes (R-N) have been subject to a large body of experimental and theoretical studies. The fundamental reactivity of this important class of transient intermediates has been attributed to their electronic structures, particularly the accessibility of triplet vs singlet states. In contrast, electronic structure trends along the heavier pnictinidene analogues (R-Pn; Pn = P-Bi) are much less systematically explored.
