Article Abstract
The latest development in perovskite solar cell (PSC) technology has been significantly influenced by advanced techniques aimed at passivating surface defects. This work presents a new approach called thermal imprinting-assisted ion exchange passivation (TIAIEP), which delivers a different approach to conventional solution-based methods. TIAIEP focuses on addressing surface imperfections in solid-state films by using a passivator that promotes ion exchange specifically at the defect sites within the perovskite layer. By adjusting the time and temperature of the TIAIEP process, we achieve substantial enhancement in the creation of a compositional gradient within the films. This optimization slows the cooling rate of hot carriers, leading to minimizing charge recombination and improving the device performance. Remarkably, devices treated with TIAIEP achieve a 22.29% power conversion efficiency and show outstanding stability, with unencapsulated PSCs maintaining 91% of their original efficiency after over 2000 h of storage and 90% efficiency after 1200 h of constant illumination. These results highlight TIAIEP's effectiveness in mitigating surface defects, improving both the photoelectric and stability performance of PSCs, and indicating significant potential for large-scale application in perovskite film passivation, promoting the widespread adoption of this technology.

The surfaces of 1D layered lepidocrocite-structured titanates (1DLs) are negatively charged due to an oxygen-to-titanium atomic ratio >2. This, and their layered structure, allow for facile ion exchange and high colloidal stability, demonstrated by ζ-potentials of ≈ -85 mV at their unadjusted pH of ≈10.4.

Artificial porous polymer coatings are promising for alleviating the side reactions and dendrite growth on Zn anodes. Nevertheless, the low ion transport ability constrains their application under harsh conditions such as thin Zn foil, high current density, and high depth of discharge (DOD). Herein, a 2D active filler is introduced to optimize the Zn migration in porous polymer coating.

Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are increasingly recognized as a promising electrolyte option for water electrolysis, attributable to their distinctive properties derived from the membrane's layered structure, which consists of an anion exchange (AEL) and a cation exchange layer (CEL). This study investigates four different BPMs and the influence they have on the performance of a water electrolysis cell under two different feed configurations: (1) a symmetric deionized water feed to both anode and cathode compartments and (2) an asymmetric feed with a 0.5 mol/L NaCl catholyte feed and a deionized water anolyte feed.

The calcium ion (Ca) is a pivotal second messenger orchestrating diverse cellular functions, including metabolism, signaling, and apoptosis. Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are critical hubs for Ca exchange, enabling rapid and localized signaling across cell compartments. Well-characterized interfaces, such as those between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria and ER-plasma membrane (PM), mediate Ca flux through specialized channels.
