Regulating the Perovskite/C₆₀ Interface via a Bifunctional Interlayer for Efficient Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Inverted perovskite solar cells are promising candidates in photovoltaic fields due to their low-temperature processing, simplified fabrication, and enhanced stability when compared with the conventional configuration. However, the significant non-radiative recombination losses and energy alignment mismatch at the perovskite/C60 interface limit the device's performance and long-term stability. To overcome ...

Towards The Commercialization of Perovskite Solar Modules

Perovskite photovoltaic devices are undergoing rapid development and have reached a certified power conversion efficiency of 26.1% at the cell level. Tremendous efforts in material and device engineering have also increased moisture, heat, and light-related stability. Moreover, the solution-process nature makes the fabrication process of perovskite photovoltaic devices feasible and compatible with ...

Design principles for NASICON super-ionic conductors

Na Super Ionic Conductor (NASICON) materials are an important class of solid-state electrolytes owing to their high ionic conductivity and superior chemical and electrochemical stability. In this paper, we combine first-principles calculations, experimental synthesis and testing, and natural language-driven text-mined historical data on NASICON ionic conductivity to achieve clear insights into how ...

Computational Investigation of MAX as Intercalation Host for Rechargeable Aluminum-Ion Battery

Layered carbides and their analogs with MAX phase (general formula AMn+1Xn) have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage and conversion applications. One frontier for energy storage is using MAX as an Al-ion intercalation electrode. Given that many MAXs have Al as the A sites, the structure can potentially serve as a stable host for Al intercalation. Here in this work, 425 ternary MAX Al-...
