In the quest for high-efficiency photovoltaics, tandem solar cells combining perovskite and CZTSSe (copper zinc tin sulfide selenide) hold significant promise. This study explores the integration of diphenylammonium chloride (DPACl) as an additive within a wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite layer to enhance the performance of a four-terminal (4-T) hybrid tandem solar cells (HTSCs) device. The DPACl additive has been systematically optimized and utilized for WBG perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, an optimum amount of DPACl additive effectively enhances the quality of perovskite films, and improves charge carrier dynamics thereby reducing non-radiative recombination losses. An optimized 2 mg mL DPACl-based PSC achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.66% with thehighest open circuit voltage (V) of 1.172 V. Further, the WBG-based PSCs integrate into a 4-T mechanically stacked with narrow bandgap (NBG-1.05 eV)-based CZTSSe for HTSCs, which demonstrates a high PCE of 23.96%. This research contributes essential insights into the development of efficient photovoltaic systems based on perovskite and CZTSSe tandem architectures.

Green-solvent-processed all-polymer solar cells (AP-SCs) are regarded as an excellent candidate for renewable energy due to their better stability and eco-friendly features. Two polymers, PYF-U and PYF-BO, have been designed by introducing a Y-series derivative with difluoro-substituted dicyanindenone units and a difluorobenzotriazole derivative as the first and second electron-deficient (A) units, respectively. The introduction of two additional F atoms on dicyanindenone units leads to a more coplanar backbone because of noncovalent interactions.

As a classical low-cost technique, dip coating has not been used for printable electronics. Here, the study demonstrates large-area organic solar cells can be made by dip coating. The correlation is revealed among Van der Waals forces in precursor film, aggregation state of polymer, and fibrous orientation in active layer; the relationship is also expounded between fluid mechanics of the confined liquid in polymer scaffold and the continuity of the acceptor phase.
