The buried interface in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is critical for determining device performance. However, during annealing, the perovskite crystallized downward from the film's top surfaces, and the use of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) often resulted in voids at the perovskite bottom surface, which negatively impacted PSC performance. In this study, a green solid-state additive, piracetam (PA), was introduced into a perovskite precursor to reduce void formation. Due to the stronger interaction with perovskite components than DMSO, nonvolatile PA could remain within the perovskite films during thermal annealing to avoid volume collapse, thereby preventing the formation of voids at the buried interface as well as passivating the defects of undercoordinated Pb. Additionally, the introduction of PA could effectively enhance the crystallization of perovskite, leading to an improved quality of the perovskite films and depressed nonradiative recombination. As a result, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs increased significantly from 20.95 to 23.42% with excellent operational and thermal stability.

Bismuth tungstate perovskite has been identified as a promising photoelectric material. Nevertheless, the wide band gap of bismuth tungstate leads to short-wavelength absorption of a single material with an attenuated photocurrent response, hindering its realization in biosensing applications. In this study, F, S co-doped BiWO was synthesized by heat treatment and combined with SnS and CdS to form a ternary heterojunction composite.

Defect engineering in SrTiO crystals plays a pivotal role in achieving efficient overall solar water splitting, as evidenced by the influence of Al ions. However, the uneven structural relaxation caused by Al ions has been overlooked, significantly affecting the defect state and catalytic activity. When an AlO crucible is used, optimizing this defect engineering presents a significant challenge.

Mechanistic understanding of how electrode-electrolyte interfaces evolve dynamically is crucial for advancing water-electrolysis technology, especially the restructuring of catalyst surface during complex electrocatalytic reactions. However, for perovskite fluorides, the mechanistic exploration for the influence of the dynamic restructuring on their chemical property and catalytic mechanism is unclear due to their poor conductivity that makes the definition of electrocatalyst structure difficult. Herein, for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), various operando characterizations are employed to investigate the structure-activity relationships of the KNiFe F@NF.

In recent years, metal halide perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have garnered significant attention as they display high quantum efficiency, good spectral tunability, and are expected to have low processing costs. When the peak emission wavelength is beyond 900 nm the interest is even higher because of the critical importance of this wavelength for biomedical imaging, night vision, and sensing. However, many challenges persist in fabricating these high-performance NIR LEDs, particularly for wavelengths above 950 nm, which appear to be limited by low radiance and poor stability.
