Article Abstract
Mixed Sn-Pb perovskites are attracting significant attention due to their narrow bandgap and consequent potential for all-perovskite tandem solar cells. However, the conventional hole transport materials can lead to band misalignment or induce degradation at the buried interface of perovskite. Here we designed a self-assembled material 4-(9H-carbozol-9-yl)phenylboronic acid (4PBA) for the surface modification of the substrate as the hole-selective contact. It incorporates an electron-rich carbazole group and conjugated phenyl group, which contribute to a substantial interfacial dipole moment and tune the substrate's energy levels for better alignment with the Sn-Pb perovskite energy levels, thereby promoting hole extraction. Meanwhile, enhanced perovskite crystallization and improved contact at bottom of the perovskite minimized defects within perovskite bulk and at the buried interface, suppressing non-radiative recombination. Consequently, Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells using 4PBA achieved efficiencies of up to 23.45%. Remarkably, the 4PBA layer provided superior interfacial chemical stability, and effectively mitigated device degradation. Unencapsulated devices retained 93.5% of their initial efficiency after 2000 h of shelf storage.

Among all types of tandem solar cells (TSCs), the two-terminal (2T) monolithic silicon-perovskite TSCs have achieved an efficiency of approximately 34.85% and show potential for commercialization because they align with well-established silicon-based solar cell technology. This review focuses on 2T monolithic silicon-perovskite TSCs, discussing their deployment along with related technical and scientific issues.

Recently, halide perovskite materials have attracted significant research interest in photoelectrochemical cells as promising photoabsorbers due to their superior optoelectronic properties. However, their instability under environmental conditions remains a major obstacle to the development of stable water-splitting devices. This review thoroughly examines the growing array of encapsulation strategies that have accelerated the integration of perovskite materials into water-splitting systems.

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.

Establishing a low-resistance perovskite/ITO contact using self-assembled molecules (SAMs) is crucial for efficient hole transport in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) without a pre-deposited hole-transporting layer. However, SAMs at the buried interface often encounter issues like nonuniform distribution and molecular aggregation during the extrusion process, leading to significant energy loss. Herein, a molecular hybrid bridging strategy by incorporating a novel small molecule is proposed, (2-aminothiazole-4-yl)acetic acid (ATAA), featuring a thiazole ring and carboxylic acid group, along with the commonly used SAM, 4-(2,7-dibromo-9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid (DMAcPA), into the perovskite precursor to synergistically optimize the buried interface.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are rapidly advancing due to their high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and low fabrication costs. However, their commercialization is hindered by lead toxicity and the use of expensive materials, such as Spiro-OMeTAD and gold electrodes. This study presents a comprehensive SCAPS-1D simulation-based analysis of 14 perovskite absorber materials, spanning both Pb-based and lead-free compounds, under a unified device architecture using low-cost, nontoxic components: ZnO as the electron transport material (ETM), PEDOT:PSS + WO as a dual hole transport material, and nickel as the back contact.
