Article Abstract

Interface engineering has become the main force in reforming the photogenerated carrier and energy losses in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, a multifaceted hole-selective molecule C-DPT, is designed and synthesized with methoxy-triphenylamine-carbazole and diphenyl-triazine units, which is employed as the interface modulator between perovskite and hole transport layer. The introduction of C-DPT endows the perovskite/hole transport layer heterojunction with a more flat physical contact, lower trap density, and faster hole extraction. The combined theoretical and experimental results decipher that C-DPT possessing the compatible contact and favorable perovskite binding ability can efficiently boost the interfacial defect restoration, compensate the interfacial energetic offset, and promote the interfacial carrier transportation. As a result, C-DPT-modified PSC delivers a champion power conversion efficiency of 24.02% in conjunction with the pronouncedly improved long-term ambient, thermal, and humidity stability.

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.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have emerged as a promising technology for next-generation display and lighting applications, thanks to their remarkable colour purity, tunability, and ease of fabrication. In this work, we explore the incorporation of plasmonic spherical nanoparticles (NPs) directly embedded into the green-emitting CsPbBr perovskite layer in a PeLED as a strategy to enhance both its optical and electrical properties. We find that plasmonic effects directly boost spontaneous emission while also influencing charge carrier recombination dynamics.

Chiral halide perovskite (c-HP) semiconductors exhibit on average a large chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. Nevertheless, the microscopic details of CISS and its integration in opto-spintronic constructs remain nascent. Reliable reporting of CISS performance characteristics represents a significant challenge in providing the necessary design rules.

Ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) is critical for efficient ammonia utilization as a hydrogen carrier, yet state-of-the-art Pt-based catalysts suffer significant activity loss due to strong NO species (NO, NO) adsorption. Herein, Pd@Pt mesoporous core-shell nanospheres with interstitial Co in Pt shell (Pd@Pt-Co MCSN) are demonstrated as an excellent AOR electrocatalyst, which achieves a mass activity of 293.6 A g at 0.
