Bismuth-based perovskite derivatives, (CHNH)BiI (MBI), are promising non-toxic light-absorbing materials widely used in various photoelectric devices because of their excellent stability. However, MBI-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are limited by poor film quality, and the performance of such a device is far behind that of lead-based PSCs. In this work, the crystal structure and morphological properties of MBI films were compared across different preparation methods. The two-step vapor-assisted method can prepare continuous dense MBI films because MBI crystal nucleation is induced by the BiI seed layer. The MBI film grown by this method is better for the production of excellent PSCs compared to the film prepared by the solution method. The best photovoltaic device based on the MBI film could obtain a power conversion efficiency of 1.13%. An MBI device is stored in the glove box for 60 days, and the device's performance is maintained at 99%. These results indicate that the vapor-assisted deposition of MBI films can be an effective method to improve the performance of bismuth-based planar PSCs.

Packaging material should guarantee the longest possible shelf life of food and help to maintain its quality. The aim of the study was to assess the physicochemical changes taking place during 28-day ageing of beef steaks packed in two types of multilayer films containing biodegradable polymers - polylactic acid (NAT/PLA) and Mater-Bi® (NAT/MBI). The control group consisted of steaks packed in synthetic polyamide/polyethylene (PA/PE) film.

Luminescence constitutes a unique source of insight into hot carrier processes in metals, including those in plasmonic nanostructures used for sensing and energy applications. However, being weak in nature, metal luminescence remains poorly understood, its microscopic origin strongly debated, and its potential for unraveling nanoscale carrier dynamics largely unexploited. Here, we reveal quantum-mechanical effects in the luminescence emanating from thin monocrystalline gold flakes.

High absorption ability and direct bandgap makes lead-based perovskite to acquire high photovoltaic performance. However, lead content in perovskite becomes a double-blade for counterbalancing photovoltaic performance and sustainability. Herein, we develop a methylammonium bismuth iodide (MBI), a perovskite-derivative, to serve as a lead-free light absorber layer.

Interfaces in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are closely related to their power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability. It is highly desirable to minimize the interfacial nonradiative recombination losses through rational interfacial engineering. Herein we develop an effective and easily reproducible interface engineering strategy where three mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI)-based molecules are employed to modify the perovskite/electron transport layer (ETL) interface.
