Summary: Organic-inorganic perovskite light absorbers have made significant progress in solar cells, with single junction solar cells achieving power conversion efficiencies exceeding 25%. Further optimization of thin-films in the perovskite solar cells can lead to efficiencies exceeding 30%. The study explores the impact of thin-film thickness and properties on power conversion efficiencies and investigates temperature-dependent variation in efficiency and other parameters. The use of SCAPS-1D software for optimization can be extended to other solar cells and optoelectronic devices.

Summary: The surface termination and defect formation of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite materials have been investigated. It was found that FAI-termination exhibits the most stable surface, while PbI2-termination is also relatively stable. However, certain defects can create deep-level stable charge-traps, potentially limiting the optoelectronic performance. Additionally, benzene additive has been found to effectively passivate these deep defects.

Summary: We used impedance analysis to quantify electrochemical losses in perovskite solar cells based on MAPbI(3) films. We focused on the characteristic signatures in the impedance spectra, particularly the negative capacitance hook observed at low frequencies. By applying a generalized equivalent circuit model, we determined that the negative capacitance is due to slow electrochemical dynamics. We also observed a non-linear response at higher applied voltages, indicating irreversible chemical changes in the absorber layer.

Summary: An n-type MoO3 thin film was prepared for the first time using a solution processable Mo-peroxo strategy. An aprotic solvent was chosen as an alternative to conventional protic diluents, leading to the formation of n-type MoO3 thin films. The thin film, based on an aprotic diluent, was identified as a peroxy structure at low temperatures and converted to n-type MoO3 through thermal annealing. The n-type MoO3 thin film was used as an electron transport bilayer in perovskite solar cells, resulting in significantly improved power conversion efficiency and open-circuit voltage.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of humidity and halide ions on the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells treated with alkylammonium halide (OAX) under ambient conditions. The results show that high humidity and the presence of chloride ions can induce the deprotonation of methylammonium (MA(+)) ions, leading to the formation of void volumes and defects in the perovskite layer. This results in suppressed hole transfer at the interface and reduced efficiency of the solar cells.

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
