Article Abstract

Monocrystalline perovskite materials exhibit superior properties compared with polycrystalline perovskites, including lower defect density, minimal grain boundaries, and enhanced carrier mobility. Nevertheless, the preparation of large-area, high-quality single-crystal films, which could prove invaluable for photoelectronic applications, remains a significant challenge. The study of how their unique properties go beyond polycrystalline thin films is still missing. In our experiment, using polarization-selective transient absorption microscopy, we directly observed the spatial carrier transportation in methylammonium lead iodide (CHNHPbI, MAPbI) strip-shaped monocrystalline ultrathin films. Ultrafast carrier diffusion transportation was observed. The monocrystalline carrier diffusion coefficient (∼22 cm s) is an order of magnitude higher than that in polycrystalline films. Anisotropic carrier diffusion of the MAPbI single crystal has been discovered. It is also discovered that the electrons and holes are of different anisotropy and diffusion speed. This ultralong carrier transport inside the monocrystalline film provides solid support for the development of perovskite based photoelectronic devices.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal primary brain tumor in adults, characterized by rapid growth, diffuse infiltration, and a dismal prognosis. Despite aggressive treatment involving maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, therapeutic outcomes remain poor due to intrinsic and acquired resistance. Autophagy, a catabolic process that degrades damaged cellular components, plays a critical role in this resistance by enabling tumor cells to survive under metabolic, hypoxic, and therapeutic stress conditions.

Achieving high open-circuit voltage (V) continues to pose a significant challenge for kesterite CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZTSSe) solar cells, predominantly due to the pronounced charge carrier recombination occurring at heterointerface (HEI). To address this issue, an innovative non-metallic boron (B)-modification strategy is developed to optimize the HEI. The key advantages of this strategy are as follows: (i) Leveraging the strong bonding characteristic of B with three valence electrons, the dangling bonds on the absorber surface can be fully saturated, effectively passivating surface states without introducing new defects; (ii) Moreover, diffusion of B into the near-surface region of HEI during selenization process can create weak n-type B donor defects, which lowers the valence band maximum (VBM) of the absorber and mitigates Fermi level pinning.

The fast crystallization and facile oxidation of Sn of tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskites are the biggest challenges for their applications in high-performance near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors and imagers. Here, we introduce a multifunctional diphenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) molecule into perovskite precursor ink to response these issues by revealing its strong binding interactions with the precursor species. The regulated perovskite film exhibits a dense morphology, reduced defect density and prolonged carrier diffusion length.
