The micellization behavior of three cationic gemini surfactants, C16H33N+(CH3)(2)(CH2)(s)N+(CH3)(2)C16H33, 2Br(-) (s = 4, 6, 10) have been studied in the presence of 1% (w/v) and 5% (w/v) polyethylene glycol-600 (PEG-600) by conductivity measurements at 300-320 K. From the conductivity data the critical micelle concentration, the degree of counterion ionization (alpha) and the thermodynamics of micellization Delta G(m)(o), Delta H-m(o), Delta S-m(o), of the gemini surfactants have been determined. The micellar parameters show a significant dependence on the spacer length and as well as amount of polymer.

Summary: Perovskite solar cells have achieved impressive efficiency in a short period, but long-term stability remains a challenge due to doping of the Hole Transporting Material. Research focuses on stable dopant-free HTMs, which show promising efficiency and stability without the need for additional dopants. These polymers have attractive properties such as filming ability, tunability in molecular weight, and high hole mobility, making them a significant innovation in the field.

Summary: This study prepared four different P3HTs using sustainable synthetic methods and found that the highest efficiency was achieved with the highest MW and low-RR polymer, demonstrating the potential of achieving promising results with lower-MW but fully regioregular polymer. Additionally, large-area devices fabricated with a high-MW P3HT showed excellent stability under accelerated thermal stress tests and continuous light soaking.

Summary: The hierarchization of zeolites in heterogeneous catalysis is a popular concept to overcome the limitations related to molecular diffusion in micropores. By organizing the zeolitic lattice in a multilevel porous system, it is possible to design materials with new shape-size selectivity, expanding the application possibilities of the MFI lattice beyond cracking reactions.

Neutron irradiated perovskite films and solar cells on PET substrates

Summary: This paper evaluates the stability of unencapsulated flexible perovskite solar cells against fast neutron irradiation at two different fluence levels. Both commercially available spiro-OMeTAD and an inhouse modified P3HT as the hole transport materials degrade under neutron irradiation. However, the modified P3HT cells show smaller voltage and current losses compared to spiro-OMeTAD cells, indicating their potential resilience. Further investigations are needed to improve the perovskite/polymer interface and promote the development of flexible perovskite solar cells for space and avionic applications.
