Ion migration is a major issue hindering the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). As an intrinsic characteristic of metal halide perovskite materials, ion migration is closely related to the atomic arrangement and coordination, which are the basic characteristic differences among various facets. Herein, we report the facet-related ion migration, and then achieve the inhibition of ion migration in perovskite through finely modulating the facet orientation. We show that the (100) facet is substantially more vulnerable to cationic migration than the (111) facet. The main reason for this difference in migration is that the cationic migration route in the (111) facet deviates from that in the (100) facet, which increases the active migration energy and weakens the contribution from the electric field during operation. We prepare a (111)-dominated perovskite film by incorporating a facile and green addition of water (HO) into the antisolvent, further achieving a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.0 % (25.4 % certification) on regular planar PSCs and 25.8 % on inverted PSCs. Moreover, the unencapsulated PSCs can maintain 95 % of their initial PCE after 3500-hours operation under simulated AM1.5 illumination at the maximum power point.

Li-metal batteries promise ultrahigh energy density, but their application is limited by Li-dendrite growth. Theoretically, fluorine-containing anions such as bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI) in electrolytes can be reduced to form LiF-rich solid-electrolyte interphases (SEIs) with high Young's modulus and ionic conductivity that can suppress dendrites. However, the anions migrate toward the cathode during the charging process, accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of interfacial anions near the anode surface.

Metal halide perovskites have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional photoelectric properties. The alkali metal doping strategy has been demonstrated to effectively modulate grain size, control crystallization kinetics, and adjust band gap characteristics in perovskite. This study employs the first-principles calculations to reveal that the selection of alkali metal species and their corresponding doping methodologies exert markedly distinct influences on both the electronic properties and ion migration kinetics of CsPbBr perovskites.

High entropy electrolytes show great potential in the design of next generation batteries. Demonstrating how salt components of high entropy electrolytes influence the charge storage performance of batteries is essential in the tuning and design of such advanced electrolytes. This study investigates the transport and interfacial properties for lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF) in ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (EC/DMC) solvent with commonly used additives for high entropy electrolytes (LiTFSI, LiDFOB, and LiNO).

Global water scarcity demands next-generation desalination technologies that transcend the limitations of energy-intensive processes and salt accumulation. Herein, a groundbreaking interfacial solar steam generation system capable of simultaneous hypersaline desalination and ambient energy harvesting is introduced. Through hierarchical hydrogel architecture incorporating a central vertical channel and radial channels with gradient apertures, the design effectively decouples salt transport and water evaporation: solar-driven fluid convection directs water outward for evaporation, while inward salt migration prevents surface crystallization and redistributes excess heat.

The formation and recrystallization of ice crystals during freezing causes irreversible structural damage to the dough matrix, which is characterized by the cold denaturation of the gluten protein structure and the degradation of the gluten network structure. Polysaccharides are widely used to improve the quality of frozen dough owing to their excellent water-holding and viscosity. Current research has shown that polysaccharides mitigate the physical damage of ice crystals on the gluten protein structure mainly by modifying the water status of frozen dough to inhibit the ice crystallization process.
