Black core-shelled anatase titania were successfully prepared using a simple one-step synthetic method by calcining colloid titania precursor in N 2 flow under atmospheric pressure. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microcopy, etc. The samples demonstrate a unique core-shelled structure and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra reveal the presence of high concentration of Ti 3+ and oxygen vacancies at the surface, which accounts for their black appearance. A possible mechanism for the formation of such core–shell structure is proposed based on the results (X-ray photoelectron spectra, etc) of products prepared under different ration between urea and hydrochloric acid. Ethanol absolute is found to have critical effect in preventing phase transition of titania (from anatase to rutile) upon elevated temperatures. The black appearance of the sample powder (high visible light absorption) as well as slow electron/hole recombination rate after introducing oxygen vacancies/N species signify the core-shelled anatase titania as an efficient visible light active photocatalyst.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cell (PSC) has made an illustrious breakthrough in the past ten years. However, it is still a great challenge to fabricate high-quality perovskite films due to the intrinsic high defect-density and internal non-radiative recombination, which has severely hindered the development of PSCs . Herein, a new-type additive guanidinium tetrafluoroborate (GuaBF 4 ) is introduced to improve the perovskite films quality, thus boosting photovoltaic performance of resultant PSCs . It is demonstrated that owing to the synergistic effect of Gua + and BF 4 − , the introduction of GuaBF 4 can improve the quality of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPbI 3 ) films. Through optimizing the concentration of GuaBF 4 , the MAPbI 3 film with GuaBF 4 displays higher crystallinity , enlarged crystal grain and smoother surface. Furthermore, by virtue of the strong interaction between MAPbI 3 and GuaBF 4 , the inclusion of GuaBF 4 can effectively passivate traps/defects in perovskite films, thereby diminishing the non-radiative recombination and promoting the charge carrier transportation. Consequently, a high-performance MAPbI 3 PSC with a PCE of 20.62 %, lessened hysteresis behavior and improved moisture stability is achieved. Our research emphasizes on the significance of the synergistic effect in additives for high-performance PSCs.

Operational stability remains the foremost concern delaying the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Ions diffusion from iodine-rich perovskite layer to metal electrode is one main reason for the irreversible devices degradation. Here we introduce chemically crosslinked TMTA (trimethylolpropane triacrylate) at both bulk perovskite layer and perovskite/PCBM interface to suppress the ions diffusion toward electrode. The TMTA in perovskite layer suppresses ions migration along grain boundaries and TMTA at perovskite/PCBM interface blocks ions diffusion toward electrode, owing to its continuous network structure and chemically inert nature. Diffusion experiment, permeation experiment and resistive random-access memory (RRAM) investigation confirm the effectively blocked ions diffusion in PSCs with TMTA whether under heat, light or electric field conditions. The resulting PSCs exhibit 7-fold improvement in operational stability at elevated temperature of 60 °C, retaining ~80% of initial efficiency after maximum power point tracking for 1000 h under continuous illumination. The PSCs with TMTA also exhibit good thermal stability and retain over 90% of the initial efficiency after aging at 60 °C for 1000 h.

Interface engineering has been proved to be a practical strategy to enhance power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of perovskite solar cells. Recently approaches involving ultra-thin layer deposition and vacuum-processing, while improving PCE, increase the processing complexity, and thus the overall cost. In this paper, we demonstrate a high-efficiency inverted planar perovskite solar cell, obtained with a simple wet-chemistry based, room-temperature, and cost-effective process, which synthesizes two interfacial layers: solution processed molybdenum oxide (named s-MoOx) for anode and titanium(IV) oxide bis(2,4-pentanedionate) (TOPD) for cathode buffer layers. Steady-state photoluminescence (PL), time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are conducted to characterize the charge transport properties, confirming an enhanced charge extraction efficiency and a suppressed charge recombination. In addition, the introduction of the interfacial layers facilities formation of an ohmic contact with the metal electrode, reducing the charge transfer resistance and increasing the FF to as high as 80.7%. The optimized solar cells achieve the best PCE of 16.04% which far exceeds the PCE of devices without these interfacial layers (PCE = 11.2%).

The in situ fabricated perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) obtained through spin-coating a precursor solution are suitable candidates to achieve efficient perovskite light emitting diodes (PeLEDs). In this work, the solvent effects of on-chip crystallization are investigated by correlating the nucleation and growth process of in situ fabricated formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI 3 ) nanocrystals with their optical and electronic properties. The FAPbI 3 nanocrystals obtained from a precursor solution in γ-butyrolactone (GBL) are smaller than those obtained from N , N -dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide, and the relatively weak coordination between GBL and the precursor molecules enables reduced defect states in the resulted PNCs with enhanced photoluminescence properties. A modified LaMer model is proposed to describe the solvent effects in the on-chip crystallization process. Based on these understandings, red emissive FA 0.87 Cs 0.13 PbI 3 nanocrystal films with absolute photoluminescence quantum yields up to 70% are realized. Finally, an efficient PeLED with maximum luminance of 218 cd m −2 and peak external quantum efficiency of 15.8% is achieved with good reproducibility.

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are considered as one of the most potential candidates in electroluminescence territory owing to their unique quantum confinement effect and excellent thermal stability of the light. Nevertheless, heterogeneous energy domain distribution leads to severe non-radiative recombination in the process of energy transfer, which enormously hinders the performance and application of PeLEDs. Herein, an ambipolar amino acid, 5-aminovaleric acid (5AVA), is demonstrated to be able to coordinate lead and halides simultaneously with its carboxyl and amidogen groups. The coordinated ambipolar molecule not only reconstitutes energy domains of perovskites but also minimizes the interfacial defects of PeLEDs. Accordingly, the presence of 5AVA in perovskite precursors leads to dramatic suppression of the n = 1 and n = 2 phases and accelerates energy transfer from wide bandgap domains to narrow bandgap ones. As a result, maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 19.3% (18.20% ± 1.10%) is achieved in quasi-2D green PeLEDs with current efficiency of 61.7 cd A −1 .

Room-temperature-processed (RTP) electron-transport layer (ETL) is a prerequisite for fabricating fully RTP perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, an RTP-Zn 2 SnO 4 (ZSO) ETL is deposited for achieving RTP-PSCs by magnetron sputtering using ZnO and SnO 2 targets. The ZSO ETL exhibits great electrical properties, better band alignment, and yields increased grain size of the perovskite grown on it, thus facilitating electron extraction from the perovskite layer to the ETL. As a result, a champion power conversion efficiency of 21.06% is achieved in the ZSO-based device, which is the highest value for RTP-PSCs. The ZSO-based PSCs also exhibit high device stability. Moreover, the efficiency of a large-area perovskite module based on ZSO ETL reaches 17.79%.

Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 (M=Nb, Ta) oxides were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The compounds adopt 6-layer perovskite-related structure (referred to as 6C) in P 3 ̅ m 1, analogous to Ba 6 Na 2 Nb 2 P 2 O 17 . The 6C structure consists of cubic ( c ) BaO 3 layers and pseudo-cubic ( c' ) oxygen-vacancy-ordered BaO 2 layers stacked according to a sequence of c'ccccc . Ordering of oxygen vacancies in oxygen-deficient c' -BaO 2 layers leads to two successive isolated tetrahedral layers, which stabilize an unusual +5 oxidation state for Mn cations in the tetrahedral sites. In Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 , these two Mn 5+ O 4 layers are sandwiched by two single octahedral NaO 6 layers that connected by two successive octahedral NbO 6 layers, forming alternative 2:1-ordered (Ba 3 NaM 2 O 9 ) - and (Ba 3 NaMn 2 O 8 ) + perovskite-like units along the stacking direction. The Mn 5+ O 4 tetrahedral units act as a turquoise chromophore in Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 , making these two compounds potential turquoise-coloring materials for the cool pigments .

Perovskite solar cells have developed rapidly in recent years as the third generation solar cells. In spite of the great improvement achieved, there still exist some issues such as undesired hysteresis and indispensable high temperature process. In this work, bulk heterojunction perovskite-phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester solar cells have been prepared to diminish hysteresis using a facile two step spin-coating method. Furthermore, high quality tin oxide films are fabricated using pulse laser deposition technique at room temperature without any annealing procedure. The as fabricated tin oxide film is successfully applied in bulk heterojunction perovskite solar cells as a hole blocking layer. Bulk heterojunction devices based on room temperature tin oxide exhibit almost hysteresis-free characteristics with power conversion efficiency of 17.29% and 14.0% on rigid and flexible substrates , respectively.

Both bismuth and copper are non-toxic and earth-abundant elements suitable for lead-free halide perovskite-like photovoltaic devices. Here, we report a highly facile route for in-situ producing copper-bismuth-iodide (CuBiI 4 ) thin films directly on ITO substrate at room temperature, by utilizing a Bi-Cu alloy layer as precursor. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results verified the formation of well crystallized CuBiI 4 thin films with [222] orientation. The transient photovoltage (TPV) analysis revealed that the CuBiI 4 is an n-type semiconductor with a suitable band gap of ~1.81 eV, preferable to photoelectric conversion compared with CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 . It is very interesting that the subsequent spin-coating process of the classical Spiro-MeOTAD organic solution with TBP and acetonitrile resulted in a dense and smooth CuBiI 4 :Spiro-MeOTAD bulk-heterojunction film. The preliminarily fabricated simple sandwich structures of ITO/CuBiI 4 :Spiro-MeOTAD/Au hybrid solar cell devices displayed efficient photovoltaic performance with the PCE up to 1.119% of the best sample. The room temperature direct metal surface elemental reaction (DMSER) method may provide a new insight for all-inorganic lead free perovskite-like A a B b X x compounds and high performance photovoltaic devices.

CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 (MAPbX 3 )-based perovskite has attracted tremendous research efforts in the last few years. With the discovery that the HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 (FAPbI 3 ) perovskite offers even higher solar cell efficiency, better thermal stability, and broader optical absorption, it is expected that it will provide more excitement in optoelectronic applications including laser, LED, photodetector, etc. The development in preparing large Single-Crystalline Formamidinium-Perovskite FAPbI 3 using the inverse-temperature reactive crystallization process, and associated wafer-slicing process is presented. The availability of the large Single-Crystalline Formamidinium-Perovskite Wafer makes it possible to fabricate integrated circuits. An array of 153 photodetectors on a piece of thin wafer, demonstrating feasibility of mass production of integrated circuits on the perovskite wafer is designed and prepared. It is found that the wafer-based photodetector shows much superior performance, with 90 times higher photoresponse and broader optical absorption than its thin-film perovskite counterpart.
