Unraveling the relationship between the phenethylammonium-induced 2D phase on the perovskite surface and inverted wide bandgap perovskite solar cell performance

Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, 17,8658-8669
DOI: 10.1039/D4EE02133A, Paper
Xiaomin Huo, Silvia Mariotti, Yaoyao Li, Ting Guo, Chenfeng Ding, Penghui Ji, Shuai Yuan, Tongtong Li, Ning Meng, Xiaomin Liu, Jiahao Zhang, Ilhem Nadia Rabehi, Yu Zhang, Suling Zhao, Hengyuan Wang, Dandan Song, Luis K. Ono, Zheng Xu, Yabing Qi
We studied the impact of phenethylammonium chloride on PIN-structured wide bandgap perovskite solar cells. Elimination of the 2D phase results in a champion efficiency of 20.61% and a VOC loss of only 410 mV with hysteresis-free J–V curves.

Deep ion mass transfer addressing the capacity shrink challenge of aqueous Zn‖MnO2 batteries during the cathode scaleup

Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, 17,8904-8914
DOI: 10.1039/D4EE02871F, Paper
Na Jiang, You Zeng, Qi Yang, Puda Lu, Keqi Qu, Lihang Ye, Xuejun Lu, Ziqiang Liu, Xixian Li, Yongchao Tang, Jinchao Cao, Shimou Chen, Chunyi Zhi, Jieshan Qiu
This work shows that the introduction of interstitial carbon into the MnO2 lattice could reduce the affinity toward SO42− and OH, thus suppressing the surface coverage of ZHS and improving the Zn||MnO2 battery performance under large loading mass.
