All-solid-state lithium batteries with high safety and high energy density are one of the most promising next generation energy storage devices. However, the enhancement of energy density of all-solid-state lithium batteries is generally hindered by the thick and heavy solid electrolyte layer. In this work, a 5 nm thick homogeneous polydopamine layer is coated on the Li 6 PS 5 Cl electrolyte particles in organic alkali solution, resulting in a modified adhesive particle surface. Free-standing polydopamine-coated Li 6 PS 5 Cl thin film with thickness of 35 μm could be achieved by cold pressing. All-solid-state lithium battery with the polydopamine-coated Li 6 PS 5 Cl thin film is assembled and exhibits a discharge capacity of 485.1 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 78.5% at 0.1 C and 25 °C. A high full-cell level energy density of 284.4 Wh kg −1 can be realized with reduced thickness and weight of electrolyte layer.

The solution process is currently the most common method for preparing perovskite solar cells; however, their performance, even when prepared by the same procedure, is variable. One contributing factor is neglecting the ageing time of the perovskite precursor ink. In this study, we studied the correlation between the precursor solution ageing time and the subsequent photovoltaic performance of solar cells. We found that both freshly made and excessively aged precursor solutions resulted in poor perovskite films, exhibiting poor absorption and increased recombination sites. An ageing time of 6 h was optimal, which resulted in photovoltaic devices with greater performance, stability and reproducibility.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), considered as a series of newly emerging porous organic materials, have been widely utilized in separation fields. Herein, a novel COF (TFPB-BD) was first employed as stationary phase for high-efficiency capillary electrochromatographic separation. Benzidine (BD) and 1,3,5-Tris-(4-formylphenyl)benzene (TFPB) were selected as organic linkers and then introduced into the aldehyde group modified capillary for the in situ growth of TFPB-BD onto the capillary inner wall at room temperature. The morphology and formation of TFPB coated capillary column were confirmed by a variety of tools including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). It's interesting that the TFPB globular crystals with nanoscale were uniformly and densely modified on the capillary inner surface. Hence, the prepared column exhibited prominent separation performance for the test analytes including alkylbenzenes, chlorobenzenes and phenolic compounds with high efficiency and high resolution. The maximum column efficiency can reach about 1.8 × 10 5 plates•m −1 . Additionally, the high resolutions of anilines, amino acids and parabens were also achieved on the TFPB modified capillary. The precisions (RSDs) of the retention times of alkylbenzenes of intra-day runs ( n = 3), inter-day runs ( n = 3) and parallel columns ( n = 3) were all less than 2.83%. This innovative COF-based stationary phase gives great promise for the chromatographic separation field.

The best research-cell efficiency for quantum dot solar cells has boosted from 11.6 to 18.1% within 5 years due to the evolution of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) that are being intensively developed along with the flourishing of perovskite thin-film photovoltaics. During the fabrication of PQD devices, as far as we know, methyl acetate (MeOAc) is an ineluctable solvent in ligand exchange for producing highly efficient solar cells. Nevertheless, the reproducibility for PQD solar cells using MeOAc treatment is poor since it has to make a trade-off between removing long-chain organic ligands for high charge transport and keeping them for the stabilization of the black crystal phase. Herein, we demonstrate the degree of MeOAc treatment on CsPbI3 PQD solid films in detail and clarify that MeOAc treatment is able to not only remove the oleyl ligands for promoting the charge transport but also passivate the surface defects in the CsPbI3 PQD solid films. It is noted that immoderate MeOAc treatment could induce the formation of the δ-phase, leading to the degradation of device performance. After locating the balance for MeOAc treatment, the CsPbI3 PQD solar cells are fabricated and optimized without using any additional modifications except MeOAc treatment, and these additive-free devices possess a conversion efficiency surpassing 12%.

Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) zeolite, as a promising shape-selective catalyst, has excellent catalytic activity in many oxidation reactions. However, there are still challenges to rapidly synthesize TS-1 and achieve a high content of Ti in TS-1 without anatase TiO2. In this work, a high-efficiency strategy has been proposed by using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) as a crystallization modifier to rapidly synthesize enhanced-Ti TS-1 zeolite without extra-framework anatase TiO2. In such a synthetic system, a mixed liquid–solid precursor phase is formed within 4.5 hours, and then TS-1 crystals can be produced within one day based on the special combination mechanism of liquid-phase and solid-phase conversion. Ti species enter into the TS-1 framework by the transformation from the liquid phase to crystals as well as by the in situ transformation of the solid phase, which makes the content of framework Ti increase significantly, and the Si/Ti ratio can reach 48.5 without any anatase TiO2. In the epoxidation of 1-hexene with H2O2 as an oxidant, the conversion of alkene over the synthesized TS-1 was improved by 8.01% compared to the traditional TS-1 (18.11% vs. 10.10%). The high-efficiency strategy reported in this paper will provide new opportunities for further promoting the industrial application of TS-1 zeolite.

SnO 2 compact layer (c-SnO 2 ) frequently suffers from degradation in high temperature processes (HTP) such as crack, worse interfacial contact, and electrical properties, that is, annealing effect. To solve this problem, a kind of bifunctional SnO 2 colloid is developed by using small molecular oxalate whose organic components can be removed clearly at a low temperature process (LTP). The c-SnO 2 and SnO 2 mesoporous layer (m-SnO 2 ) derived from the fresh and aged sols with the same colloid show no annealing effect, decreasing oxygen vacancy, and adsorbing water on increasing annealing temperature. The champion devices of LTP and HTP SnO 2 planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) achieve, respectively, stabilized photoelectric conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 20.74% and 20.70%. In contrast, the performance of champion devices of their mesoporous counterparts is significantly improved, showing nearly hysteresis free character with stabilized PCEs of 22.40% and 22.37%, respectively. The inclusion of m-SnO 2 plays a role of an energy bridge, improving electrons collection efficiency, which is supported by photoluminescence and transient photoluminescence characterizations. HTP SnO 2 mesoporous PSCs can preserve 97.6% and 80% of their initial PCEs after aging for 25 weeks and 8-h irradiated/16-h dark cycle within 104 h. The high stability of HTP SnO 2 PSCs may ascribe to low oxygen vacancy and adsorbed water of HTP SnO 2 .

Inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites, as alternative light absorbers for organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells, have attracted more and more attention due to their superb thermal stability for photovoltaic applications. However, the humid air instability of CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells (PSCs) hinders their further development. The optoelectronic properties of CsPbI2Br films are closely related to the quality of films, so preparing high-quality perovskite films is crucial for fabricating high-performance PSCs. For the first time, we demonstrate that the regulation of ambient temperature of the dry air in the glovebox is able to control the growth of CsPbI2Br crystals and further optimize the morphology of CsPbI2Br film. Through controlling the ambient air temperature assisted crystallization, high-quality CsPbI2Br films are obtained, with advantages such as larger crystalline grains, negligible crystal boundaries, absence of pinholes, lower defect density, and faster carrier mobility. Accordingly, the PSCs based on as-prepared CsPbI2Br film achieve a power conversion efficiency of 15.5% (the maximum stabilized power output of 15.02%). Moreover, the optimized CsPbI2Br films show excellent robustness against moisture and oxygen and maintain the photovoltaic dark phase after 3 h aging in an air atmosphere at room temperature and 35% relative humidity (R.H.). In comparison, the pristine films are completely converted to the yellow phase in 1.5 h.Keywords:CsPbI2Br;perovskite solar cells;ambient air temperature assisted crystallization;film quality;photophysical properties

At present, the inferior stability compared to the high power conversion efficiency (PCE) for halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is the foremost drawback to impede their potential applications. Here, our work incorporate bifunctional polycaprolactone (PCL) agent into perovskite precursors in order to enhance the performance and stability of the humid air-fabricated perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The mechanism of efficiency and stability improvement can be resulted from assist in growth of perovskite grain and passivation of trap states in grain boundaries. The proved reduction of defect-state density can be ascribed to the cross-link function of PCL agent with C O bond, which was distributed along the grain boundaries and could play the synthetic role of Lewis base and acid, consequently resulting in the suppressed carrier recombination both in the bulk perovskite films and interfaces. The corresponding best performance device generates a conversion efficiency of 19.78%, 26.6% higher than that of the pristine device and retains ~88% of the initial values after 21 days’ storage without any encapsulation in ambient air. The proposed bifunctional adding strategy and the mechanism study could probe into the improvement of both efficiency and stability of the PSCs fabricated under fully open air conditions.

CsPbI 2 Br all-inorganic perovskite has attracted considerable attention due to its high thermal stability and suitable bandgap, while the unsatisfactory crystallization quality and moisture instability significantly hinder its further application. Herein, a novel multifunctional liquid additive, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), is introduced into the CsPbI 2 Br precursor to ameliorate the above issues. Our results demonstrate that the functional groups of HEMA can interact with perovskite precursor, thus improving crystallization and passivating defects at the same time, and leading to a champion power conversion efficiency of up to 16.13%. Importantly, HEMA molecule in perovskite films will polymerize to a hydrophobic polymer at grain boundaries through breaking C = C bonds during the high temperature annealing process (160 °C). Moreover, this multifunctional liquid additive strategy endows perovskite films with promoted moisture tolerance by crosslinking perovskite grains and blocking moisture penetration, thus the unencapsulated device maintains 78% of its initial efficiency after aging at 30% relative humidity for 1000 h. These results demonstrate that the additive engineering with multifunctional molecule is applicable strategy for developing CsPbI 2 Br all-inorganic perovskite solar cells with both high efficiency and stability.

Surface oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs) at different sites of carbonaceous materials showed different effects on the normalized monolayer adsorption capacity ( Q BET/A ) obtained from the modified BET model. The OFGs on mesoporous surfaces inhibited the adsorption via the water competition, whereas those on the external surface promoted the adsorption due to the enhanced hydrophobic driving force and electrostatic forces, as analyzed from the adsorption molar free energy. Multiple linear relationships were established between the monolayer adsorption capacity Q BET/A and the amounts of OFGs on mesoporous and the external surfaces ( [O] meso and [O] external , respectively). The properties of aromatic adsorbate compounds, the polar area radio of aromatic molecule to water ( PA ad/w ), and the log K ow together influenced the inhibition or promotion effects of OFGs. These results would allow predictions of adsorption behavior of aromatic compounds on carbonaceous materials on the basis of OFGs parameters. Theoretical calculations and simulations projected the configuration of aromatic molecules being parallel to the graphene sheets of carbonaceous materials. The symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) energy decomposition showed that the electrostatic forces intensified with the increase of adsorbate polarity. These analyses revealed that the electrostatic forces were enhanced in the presence of OFGs and that the π-π EDA (electron donor-acceptor) was the main force.

To improve the morphology and charge transport property of zinc oxide (ZnO) interface layer in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), a novel ZnO sol-gel precursor was developed by redox reaction among zinc powder (Zn), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and ammonia (NH 3 ·H 2 O) in aqueous solvent. This aqueous ZnO sol-gel precursor has advantages in cost and stability. Furthermore, photoelectric conversion performance of OSCs with ZnO layer (aqueous) is better than that of device with ZnO layer (nonaqueous). To further elaborate the relevance between the ZnO interface layer and the device performance, optical and morphology characteristics of precursor solutions, ZnO layers, and active layers were studied. Meanwhile, electrical characteristics of the OSCs were also analyzed. The results show less anion and larger colloidal particle size in aqueous sol-gel solution, which making the ZnO interface layer have fewer defects and larger surface roughness than nonaqueous-phase prepared ZnO layer. Thus, free electron could transfer from the active layer to ZnO layer more easily, and charge recombination is reduced at the interface. Moreover, the electron mobility of OSCs is also enhanced by the aqueous-phase prepared ZnO layer. Therefore, short-circuit current and photoelectric conversion performance of device are promoted.

ABSTRACT In recent years, the combination of perovskites with other materials to improve the photoelectric performance has received widespread attention. In this work, we demonstrate a hybrid heterostructure photodetector with the combination of GaN microwire array and perovskite. Compared to perovskite and GaN microwire array photodetectors, the hybrid CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3- x Cl x /GaN microwire array photodetector exhibits more excellent photoelectric performances in a wide detection range from ultraviolet to visible. Under 325 nm laser irradiation, the hybrid photodetector generates a large photocurrent (1.04 ×10 -5 A), a high on/off ratio (>10 4 ), a fast response time (raise time of 0.66 ms and decay time of 0.71 ms), and higher responsivity , detectivity. Meanwhile, when the perovskite is combined with the GaN microwire array, the device also has a higher photocurrent, on/off ratio, and faster photoresponse compared with the perovskite photodetector in the visible light region. This is interpreted as the effective separation photogenerated carriers at the hetero-interface, and the directional transfer of carriers within the one-dimensional GaN microwire array. This study sheds light on fabricating high-performance heterostructures photodetectors.
