Organic–inorganic lead halide peroxides (OIHPs) have attracted much interest due to their excellent photovoltaic properties, but practical applications are limited by long-term stability and further performance enhancement. Two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) heterojunction is a promising strategy to address these issues. Here, short-chain 3,5-dichlorobenzylamine (DBA) with halogen functional groups is introduced to react with excess PbI 2 to form the 2D perovskite layer in mixed perovskite films of Cs 0.05 (FA 0.85 MA 0.15 ) 0.95 Pb(I 0.85 Br 0.15 ) 3 , which passivates surface defects, favours energy band alignment of functional layers and suppresses non-radiative recombination of carriers. As a result, DBA-treated 2D/3D PSCs obtained a champion PCE of 21.54% with an improved open circuit voltage ( V oc ) of 1.171 V. More importantly, the 2D/3D heterojunction can effectively protect the underlying 3D perovskite from moisture ingress. The unencapsulated 2D/3D devices retain 90% of their initial efficiency even after aging at 40 ± 5% RH for 1000 h, while the 3D device retains only 40%.

Tremendous demands for highly sensitive and selective nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensors have motivated intensive research on advanced electrode materials with high electrocatalytic activity. Herein, the 3D-networked CuO@carbon nanowalls/diamond (C/D) architecture is rationally designed, and it demonstrates wide linear range (0.5 × 10 −6 –4 × 10 −3 m ), high sensitivity (1650 µA cm −2 m m −1 ), and low detection limit (0.5 × 10 −6 m ), together with high selectivity, great long-term stability, and good reproducibility in glucose determination. The outstanding performance of the CuO@C/D electrode can be ascribed to the synergistic effect coming from high-electrocatalytic-activity CuO nanoparticles and 3D-networked conductive C/D film. The C/D film is composed of carbon nanowalls and diamond nanoplatelets; and owing to the large surface area, accessible open surfaces, and high electrical conduction, it works as an excellent transducer, greatly accelerating the mass- and charge-transport kinetics of electrocatalytic reaction on the CuO biorecognition element. Besides, the vertical aligned diamond nanoplatelet scaffolds could improve structural and mechanical stability of the designed electrode in long-term performance. The excellent CuO@C/D electrode promises potential application in practical glucose detection, and the strategy proposed here can also be extended to construct other biorecognition elements on the 3D-networked conductive C/D transducer for various high-performance nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensors.

The fullerenes that violate isolated pentagon rule (IPR) have unusual electronic properties resulting from their fused-pentagon structures. Numerous non-IPR fullerenes have now been captured by chlorination, affording opportunity to go insight into the properties involved in non-IPR fullerenes in the forms of chlorofullerenes (CFs). Here cyclic voltammetry (CV) is employed to probe the electrochemical properties of non-IPR #1809 C 60 Cl 8 in comparison with those of #271 C 50 Cl 10 . Differing from IPR-satisfying CFs such as C 60 Cl 8 and C 60 Cl 10 (referring to I
h -symmetric C 60 ), the two non-IPR CFs exhibit divergent electroactive polymerization characters. In addition, the electrocatalytic effect of ferrocene that is otherwise employed as internal reference has been shown in the CV process of CFs.

The electron/hole transport layer plays a very important role in the planar structure of perovskite solar cells. Conjugated polymers have received considerable attention for use in perovskite solar cells as hole/electron transport layers and passivation layers. Although the devices based on conjugated polymer hole transport layers have achieved much progress, their performance is still inferior to that of devices based on the conventional spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer. Here, we investigated the solvent vapor annealing (SVA) effect on conjugated polymers as well as the corresponding perovskite solar cell devices. It was found that SVA treatment could enhance the hole charge carrier mobility and thin film crystallinity. Meanwhile, the charge transfer efficiency was enhanced, and charge recombination was reduced. Hence, the conjugated polymer based device exhibited comparable or even better performance compared with the conventional spiro-OMeTAD based device. Moreover, the device stability was also improved.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to hydrogen is a clean process that can achieve green hydrogen. However, the integrated PEC devices have some problems, such as serious incident light loss, poor stability, and high cost. Here, the low-cost perovskite/silicon tandem cell instead of the costly III−V tandem cell as the light absorber is used, combined with high-transmittance quartz glass as a protective layer forming an unassisted solar water-splitting device. Quartz glass can minimize incident light loss and prevent electrolyte corrosion of solar cells. A solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 19.68% is achieved, and the performance can be maintained for 20 h without noticeable change. This structure design provides a novel integrated solar water-splitting system.

The performances of photovoltaic devices can be improved by increasing light-harvesting and charge collection respectively. The design and synthesis of nanocomposites with the ability of enhancing the generation and collection of the photo-generated electrons provide a significant way to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, SWNTs@(TiO2/Ag/Au) nanocomposites were synthesized and successfully integrated into photoanode films of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to improve the power conversion efficiency. The synthesis processes were based on multi-functional DNA. DNA not only works as a dispersing agent preventing SWNTs bundling but also as a sacrificial mold assembling TiO2, Ag and Au nanoparticles on the surface of the SWNTs. The synthesized SWNTs@(TiO2/Ag/Au) nanocomposites enhance the charge collection and light-harvesting of DSSCs simultaneously. With 2.45 wt% SWNTs@(TiO2/Ag/Au) nanocomposites incorporating into the photoanode films, the PCE of the DSSCs increases from 6.8% to 8.3%.

A strategy of in-stack dry reforming of methane (DRM) is proposed by using La 0.6 Sr 0.2 Cr 0.85 Ni 0.15 O 3-δ -loaded Ni foam (LSCrN@NF) as a CH 4 –CO 2 reformer, fuel gas distributor, and anode current collector in a SOFC stack. The prepared LSCrN exists as a single phase in a perovskite structure ; its reduced form contains exsolved Ni nanoparticles embedded on the surface of the LSCrN substrate. Introduced into an NF, the reduced LSCrN@NF demonstrates high DRM activity that increases with the increase of LSCrN amount to an optimum of about 42%. With the LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM, the conversions of CH 4 and CO 2 into CO and H 2 increase. Thus, the electrode polarization resistance, including the cathode and anode , decreases to 0.62, 1.07, and 3.93 Ω cm 2 at 800 °C, 750 °C, and 700 °C, respectively. Consequently, the peak power density (PPD) of the cell using 45% CH 4 -45% CO 2 –10% N 2 as fuel is 1.17, 0.94, and 0.47 W cm −2 , significantly higher than that of the cell without LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM. In addition, the voltage of the cell with LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM is stable on a level between 0.81 and 0.82 V at 400 mA cm −2 and 750 °C for 270 h without detected carbon deposition in the Ni–Y 2 O 3 stabilized ZrO 2 anode. This LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM strategy is also adopted with a large-scale (13 × 13 cm 2 ) single cell, which shows an extrapolated PPD of 428.3 mW cm −2 at 750 °C and is operated for 40 h at 400 mA cm −2 without noticeable performance degradation .

The development of symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs) faces a significant challenge in designing electrode materials that exhibit both high activity and stability. In this work, a novel layered perovskite oxide symmetric electrode material PrBaFe 1.8 Hf 0.2 O 5+δ (PBFH) for SSOFCs is proposed and synthesized. Doping Hf at the B-site of PrBaFe 2 O 5+δ (PBF) improves the stability in reducing atmosphere and increases the concentration of oxygen vacancies . Furthermore, a small amount of RuO x is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) onto PrBaFe 1.8 Hf 0.2 O 5+δ scaffold as symmetric electrodes. The surface modification of ALD-RuO x significantly boosts the catalytic activity for both fuel oxidation and oxygen reduction, simultaneously. Compared to PBF electrodes, the interfacial polarization resistances of RuO x -PBFH decrease to 0.77 Ω cm 2 under H 2 /Ar and 0.021 Ω cm 2 under air atmosphere at 800 °C, respectively. At 800 °C, SSOFCs equipped with RuO x -PBFH symmetric electrodes exhibit a high peak power density of 0.85 W cm −2 and 0.41 W cm −2 using humidified hydrogen and propane as fuels, respectively. Moreover, the RuO x -PBFH electrode demonstrates long-lasting performance, displaying high resistance against coking. These findings reveal a facile ALD approach for tailoring symmetric perovskite electrodes, offering robust and efficient electrocatalysis with efficient noble metal utilization.

Developing non-noble metal catalysts with excellent electrocatalytic performance and stability is of great significance to hydrogen production by water electrolysis, but there are still problems of low activity, complex preparation and high cost. Herein, we fabricated a novel Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 dual-functional electrocatalyst by a one-step fast electrodeposition on nickel foam (NF). While maintaining the electrocatalytic performance of Ni 3 S 2 , the existence of heterostructure and Ni(OH) 2 co-catalyst function greatly improves the overall water splitting performance of Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 –NF. Hence, It shows a low overpotential of 66 mV at 10 mA cm −2 for HER and 249 mV at 20 mA cm −2 for OER. The dual-functional electrocatalyst needs only 1.58 V at 20 mA cm −2 when assembled two-electrode electrolytic cell. Impressively, the electrocatalyst also shows outstanding catalytic stability for about 800 h when 20 and 50 mA cm −2 constant current was applied, respectively which demonstrates a potential electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Although the binary sulfides Bi2S3, PbS, and SnS have attracted extensive interest as thermoelectric materials, no quaternary sulfides containing Sn/Pb/Bi/S elements have been reported. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new quaternary sulfide, SnPb2Bi2S6, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with unit cell parameters of a = 20.5458(12) Å, b = 4.0925(4) Å, c = 13.3219(10) Å. SnPb2Bi2S6 has a lillianite-type crystal structure consisting of two alternately aligned NaCl-type structural motifs separated by a mirror plane of PbS7 monocapped trigonal prisms. In the lillianite homologous series, SnPb2Bi2S6 can be classified as 4,4L, where the superscripted numbers indicate the maximum numbers of edge-sharing octahedra in the two adjacent NaCl-shaped slabs along the diagonal direction. The obtained SnPb2Bi2S6 phase exhibited good thermal stability up to 1000 K and n-type degenerate semiconducting behavior, with a power factor of 3.7 μW cm–1 K–2 at 773 K. Notably, this compound exhibited a very low lattice thermal conductivity of 0.69–0.92 W m–1 K–1 at 300–1000 K. Theoretical calculations revealed that the low thermal conductivity is caused by the complex crystal structure and the related elastic properties of a low Debye temperature, low phonon velocity, and large Grüneisen parameters. A reasonable figure of merit (ZT) of ∼0.3 was obtained at 770 K.

Nanosilicon@nonstoichiometric silicon oxide where nanosilicon is embedded in SiO x matrix (abbreviated as nano-Si@SiOx), is a very attractive material structure to suppress the volume effect of silicon in Lithium-ion batteries. In this work, we demonstrate that the combination of electrolysis and peeling technique produce nano-Si@SiOx from bulk SiO 2 . X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) are employed to characterize the prepared materials. The average O/Si atomic ratio of the synthesized nano-Si@SiOx is about 0.91. The nano-Si@SiOx/graphite composite prepared using it as the precursor exhibits a stable discharge capacity of about 1560 mAh g −1 (calculated on the total mass of the composite) with good cyclic stability and rate capability. This work provides a new routine to prepare nano-Si@SiOx composite.
