Summary: This study quantifies and characterizes defects in single crystal MAPbI(3) using a multi-method approach, revealing the interaction of carriers with different defects and their impact on charge transport properties in methylammonium lead halide perovskites. The results show that the dominant part of defects releases free carriers after trapping, leading to positive effects on photoconversion and charge transport, while shallow traps decrease drift mobility significantly. This research provides insights for optimizing charge transport properties and defects in MHP and contributes to improving perovskite stability.

Summary: Hydrogen vacancies induce non-radiative losses in methylammonium lead iodide perovskites synthesized under iodine-poor conditions, while they are less detrimental in formamidinium-based hybrid perovskites. The high density of hydrogen vacancies in hybrid perovskites acts as efficient non-radiative recombination centers, impacting device performance significantly. Minimizing the incorporation of hydrogen vacancies is crucial for achieving optimal performance in hybrid perovskites.

Summary: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are considered as the best alternative to silicon solar cells due to their low cost and high power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the commercialization of PSCs has been hindered by issues such as poor stability, high toxicity, and complex preparation process. Passivation strategies, including surface and bulk passivation, have been successfully employed to improve the performance of PSCs. This article provides an in-depth review of recent advances in passivating the buried interface of PSCs, focusing on the perovskite layer, buried interlayer, and transport layer. The effectiveness of passivating the buried interface is demonstrated using various salts, organics, and 2D materials. The classification of the transport layer into electron and hole transport layers helps to understand the substances that generate passivating effects and guide future research in buried interface passivation.

Summary: This study investigates hole traps induced by halogen interstitial in lead halide perovskites (LHPs) by combining DFT and time-dependent DFT approaches. The impact of self-interaction corrections on light-triggered geometric deformation and electronic structure of hole traps is analyzed. The relationship between hole traps and light-triggered geometric variations is explored.

Summary: Research has shown that the presence of defect states in two-dimensional organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites can affect nonlinear optical phenomena, with degenerate four-wave mixing used to detect defect energy levels. Quenching of two-photon luminescence as flake thickness increases is observed, indicating the potential for detecting defect energy levels in crystals using this technique.

Summary: This paper presents a thermodynamic model to predict the chemical shrinkage volume during hydration of two cements over time. The model uses the cemdata18 database and a series of discrete solid phases (DSPs) to represent C-S-H. The paper also shows a linear relationship between chemical shrinkage and the overall degree of hydration.
