Perovskite-based tandem solar cells (PTSCs) have made remarkable achievements in recent years, and the highest certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 33.9% has been achieved in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs), indicating their great commercialization potential. Nevertheless, the performance of PTSCs continues to be hindered by the compromised performance of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (WPSCs), particularly the high deficit of WPSCs. Therefore, numerous strategies have been developed to minimize the loss of WPSCs. Herein, we sort to comprehensively review about the reported studies on reducing the deficit of WPSCs, focusing on interface modification, charge transport material (CTM) exploration, and additive engineering, with the aim of providing guidelines for increasing the of WPSCs. Finally, we will provide a conclusive outlook on WPSCs, sharing our perspectives to inspire further advancements in both WPSCs and PTSCs.

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.

In this work, we developed a plasmid-based CRISPR-Cas9 strategy for editing Lactococcus cremoris, which allows easy generation of plasmid-free strains with the desired modification. We constructed versatile shuttle vectors based on the theta-type pAMβ1 promiscuous replicon and p15A ori, expressing both the Cas9 nuclease gene (under pH-regulated promoters derived from P170) and a single-guide RNA for specific targeting (under a strong constitutive promoter). The vectors designed for plasmid targeting were very effective for low- and high-copy-number plasmid curing in L.

Molybdenum telluride (MoTe) shows great promise as a solar absorber material for photovoltaic (PV) cells owing to its wide absorption range, adjustable bandgap, and lack of dangling bonds at the surface. In this research, a basic device structure comprising Pt/MoTe/ZnO/ITO/Al was developed, and its potential was assessed using the SCAPS-1D software. The preliminary device exhibited a photovoltaic efficiency of 23.

Currently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is still limited by reduced open-circuit voltage (V), due to defect-induced charge recombination. Most studies focus on defect passivation and improving carrier transport through introducing passivating molecules or macroscopic physical fields. Herein, to mitigate energy level mismatch and recombination losses induced by interface defects, an interface electric-field passivation is introduced, employing the ordered arrangement of the dipole molecule benzenesulfonyl chloride (BC).
