Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show promise for space use, but overcoming low performance and long-term stability challenges in the harsh space environment is essential. This review discusses the impact of the extreme space environment on PSCs and recent developments and challenges related to perovskite tandem solar cells for achieving high-performance...

Based on the commercial N-enriched melamine foam, in situ constructing a TiO2/TiN heterostructure modified carbon interlayer for balancing the surface adsorption and conversion of the polysulfides in the high-performance lithium sulfur batteries. No additional nitrogen source and expensive NH3 atmosphere are employed in this work. Abstract...

A novel life-span prelithiation strategy is proposed and practiced through the replacement of fragile ultrathin lithium metal with self-supporting 96Li2Mg2Al alloys which can spontaneously form a macroscopically complete but microscopically porous membrane after delithiation. This study provides a new perspective on the design of competitive prelithiated...

Atomic, encapsulated and zincophilic Sn in hollow carbon spheres is proposed as seeding/hosting interphase for homogeneous nucleation and dendrite-free growth. The flexibility in spatial distribution of Sn nucleation sites together with equipped in situ optical microscope in half-cell offers great opportunity for real-time visualization and quantization...

A new polymer donor PQSe-TCl is synthesized to investigate the film-formation kinetics and resultant morphologies of nfEAs-based organic photovoltaic cells. The PQSe-TCl:4T-16-based device achieves an outstanding PCE of 16.9%, which is the highest value of fully nfEA-based organic photovoltaic cells. Abstract Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs)...

The state-of-the-art PSCs employ α-FAPbI3 in spite of its metastable crystalline phase at RT. In this review, the intrinsic structural stability of α-FAPbI3 is discussed from the collective perspective based on various experimental results which are closely examined to understand fundamental origins and their role in maintaining the lattice structure,...
