Article Abstract

To overcome the instability and scalability challenges of perovskite solar cells, we engineer zwitterionic choline bitartrate as a dual-functional additive. Its tartrate anions passivate undercoordinated Pb defects through multidentate coordination, while choline cations suppress halide vacancy migration. This synergistic mechanism enables CsFAMA-based devices to achieve 24.92% efficiency (0.05 cm) with exceptional scalability of 24.12% (1 cm) and 21.37% (36 cm modules), while suppressing PbI impurities, enlarging grains, and retaining >95% of the initial power conversion efficiency after 600 h at 85 °C, establishing a new paradigm for stable, high-performance perovskite photovoltaics.

Plants are frequently exposed to a range of abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and heavy metals, that severely impair their growth and productivity. Among the adaptive mechanisms that plants have evolved, the accumulation of glycine betaine (GB), a naturally occurring, zwitterionic, and chemically stable osmoprotectant, has been widely recognized as a key strategy for stress tolerance. In higher plants, GB is primarily synthesized via the two-step oxidation of choline, catalyzed by choline monooxygenase () and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase ().

This study evaluated the mechanical and anti-bacterial properties of photocurable clear aligner resin (TC-85) incorporated with zwitterionic material, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC). Three experimental solutions were synthesized using 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and clear aligner resin (TC-85). A group without any experimental solution served as a control.

Repairing large bone defects remains a significant clinical challenge, as they exceed the bone's innate regenerative capacity. The current gold standard, autologous bone grafting, is constrained by donor site morbidity, limited tissue availability, and additional surgical risks. Bone tissue engineering offers a compelling alternative; yet achieving fully functional, vascularized bone regeneration remains challenging.
