Article Abstract
Bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a second-order nonlinear optical effect governed by the quantum geometric properties of materials, offers a promising approach to overcome the Shockley-Quiesser limit of traditional photovoltaic effect and further improve the efficiency of energy harvesting. Here, we propose an effective platform, the nano edges embedded in assembled van der Waals (vdW) homo- or hetero-structures with strong symmetry breaking, low dimensionality and abundant species, for BPVE investigations. The BPVE-induced photocurrents strongly depend on the orientation of edge-embedded structures and polarization of incident light. Reversed photocurrent polarity can be observed at left and right edge-embedded structures. Our work not only visualizes the unique optoelectronic effect in vdW nano edges, but also provides an effective strategy for achieving BPVE in engineered vdW structures.

Sequential deposition technique is widely used to fabricate perovskite films with large grain size in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Residual lead halide (PbI) in the perovskite film tends to be decomposed into metallic lead (Pb) under long-term heating or light soaking. Here, a chiral levetiracetam (LEV) dopant containing α-amide and pyrrolidone groups is introduced into the PbI precursor solution.

To achieve high detectivity in organic photodetectors, the suppression of the dark current density and the improvement of responsivity are necessary at the same time. In this work, we introduce a polymer donor overlayer on top of the high-acceptor-content bulk heterojunction film to minimize the randomness of charge pathways in the mixed phase of donor/acceptor blends. This design strategy of the active layer successfully suppresses the dark current density to 2.

Herein, we theoretically developed and studied a novel small-molecule donor, SA1, a phenazine-based derivative, for organic solar cells (OSCs). Density functional theory (DFT) analysis was performed to optimize its electronic and molecular characteristics, which were then employed as input parameters for solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) calculations to explore the photovoltaic properties of the OSC. The SA1 structure incorporated a thieno[3,2-]thiophene bonded with thioxothiazolidin-4-one as an electron-rich part to improve the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level, while a dibenzo[,]phenazine core operated as a weak electron-acceptor part to enhance the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a promising contender in photovoltaics, owing to their rapidly advancing power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and compatibility with low-temperature solution processing techniques. Single-junction architectures reveal inherent limitations imposed by the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit, motivating adoption of a dual-absorber structure comprising CsCuSbCl (CCSC) and CsTiI (CTI)-lead-free perovskite derivatives valued for environmental benignity and intrinsic stability. Comprehensive theoretical screening of 26 electron/hole transport layer (ETL/HTL) candidates identified SrTiO (STO) and CuSCN as optimal charge transport materials, producing an initial simulated PCE of 16.
