Article Abstract

Interfacial engineering is of great concern in photovoltaic devices. Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have garnered much attention due to their impressive development in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Benefiting from high electron mobility and good energy-level alignment with perovskite, aqueous SnO as an electron transport layer has been widely used in n-i-p perovskite solar cells. However, the interfacial engineering of an aqueous SnO layer on PSCs is still an obscure and confusing process. Herein, we proposed the preparation of n-i-p perovskite solar cells with different concentrations of SnO as electron transport layers and achieved optimized PCE with an efficiency of 20.27%. I Interfacial engineering with regard to the SnO layer is investigated by observing the surface morphology, space charge-limited current (SCLC) with the use of an electron-only device, and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) of perovskite films.

Promoter-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has emerged as a robust strategy for the low-temperature synthesis of diverse transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In these processes, promoter-induced intermediates facilitate specific reaction pathways, enabling controlled growth via vapor-solid-solid (VSS) or vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) modes. While previous studies have primarily focused on transition metal precursors, growth pathways involving engineered chalcogen-based intermediates remain underexplored due to their volatility and low melting points.

Antimony selenide (SbSe), a narrow-bandgap semiconductor with strong light absorption, exhibits photoresponse up to ≈1050 nm due to its intrinsic 1.15 eV bandgap. To extend detection into the near-infrared (NIR, 700-1350 nm), Bi-alloyed (BiSb)Se is developed via vacuum sputtering and postselenization.

In recent years, light-controlled ion transport systems have attracted widespread attention, however, the use of photoresponsive materials suffers from rapid carrier recombination, thermal field limitations, and narrow spectral response, which significantly restricts their performance enhancement in osmotic energy conversion. This study innovatively couples "blue energy" (osmotic energy) with "green energy" (solar energy), assembling graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide/sulfonated cellulose nanocrystal (GO/ MoS/CNC) ion-channel membranes. Under solar irradiation, the energy level difference between MoS and GO effectively suppresses the recombination of photogenerated carriers, generating more active electrons and significantly enhancing the carrier density, thereby improving the current flux and ion selectivity.

Solution-processed phosphorescent inverted organic light-emitting diodes (s-IOLEDs) have garnered significant attention due to their excellent stability and high performance. However, frequently used inorganic electron transport layers usually cause exciton dissociation at the emitting layer interface, leading to low device efficiency and severe efficiency roll-off. In this work, we designed a cross-linkable triazine-grafted electron transport copolymer (PPDPT--PBCB) with a high triplet energy (3.
