To approach the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), enhancing the fill factor (FF), a crucial parameter associated with carrier transport and nonradiative recombination, is of paramount importance. In this paper, the rare earths (RE), neodymium salt is used as dopant of 4-(3-,6-dimethoxy-9h-carbazol-9-butyl) phosphonic acid (MeO-4PACz) to obtain MeO-4PACz:Nd, and Nd migration is induced during annealing. It is worth noting that the uniform diffusion of Nd in the perovskite layer significantly increases the defect-formation energy of perovskite, thus reducing the density of the perovskite defect states, greatly improving the carrier transport rate and inhibited non-radiative recombination. The experimental results show that the wide-band gap (WBG) PSCs based on MeO-4PACz:Nd has an excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.82% with the FF of 86.35%. The proposed method provides a direct method for RE to promote the FF of perovskites.

In recent years, halide perovskite materials have been extensively studied by researchers due to their excellent optoelectronic characteristics. Unlike traditional semiconductors, halide perovskites possess unique ionic crystal structures, which makes it easier to perform facile composition engineering to tailor their physical and chemical properties. Ion exchange is a popular post-treatment strategy to achieve composition engineering in perovskites, and various ion exchange processes have been used to modify the structural and functional features of prefabricated perovskites to meet the requirements of desired applications.

Despite the huge progress achieved in the optimization of perovskite solar cell (PSC) performance, stability remains a limiting factor for technological commercialization. Here, a study on the photovoltaic, structural and morphological stability of semi-transparent formamidinium lead bromide-based PSCs is presented. This work focuses on the positive role of 2D nanoscale layer passivation, induced by perovskite surface treatment with a mixture of iso-Pentylammonium chloride (ISO) and neo-Pentylammonium chloride (NEO).

Lead halide perovskites are widely recognized for their exceptional defect tolerance, setting the benchmark for high-performance optoelectronic applications. Conversely, low-toxicity perovskite-inspired materials (PIMs) typically exhibit suboptimal optoelectronic performance, primarily due to their intrinsic susceptibility to defects. In this study, we address this limitation by exploring the effects of halide vacancies in PIMs through the synthesis of non-stoichiometric CsBiBrI microcrystals (MCs) with a trigonal crystal structure, incorporating iodine vacancies.

Agrivoltaics, integrating photovoltaic systems with crop cultivation, demands semitransparent solar modules to mitigate soil shadowing. Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC) offer competitive efficiency, low fabrication costs, and high solar transmittance, making them suitable for agrivoltaic applications. However, the impact of PSC light filtering on plant growth and transcriptomics remains underexplored.

In this study, three fullerene derivatives─, , and ─were synthesized and investigated as additives in PCBM-based electron-transporting layers (ETLs) for inverted perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). The incorporation of and into the ETLs led to improved ETL morphology and passivation of crystal defects on the surface of the methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI) layer. This defect passivation enhanced crystal quality, increased UV-vis absorption, reduced charge recombination, and improved electron mobility in the - and -based PVSCs.
