Nevertheless, the conventional PSCs with three-dimensional(3D) halide perovskites as light absorbers suffer from inferior PCEs and poor durability under sunlight, high-temperature and humid conditions due to the high defect amount and structural instability of 3D perovskites, respectively. To tackle these crucial issues, lower-dimensional halide perovskites including zero-dimensional(0D), onedimensional(1D), and two-dimensional(2D) perovskites have been employed as efficient passivators to boost the PCEs and durability of 3D-PSCs due to the high structural stability and superior resistance against moisture, heat and sunlight. Therefore, in order to achieve better understanding about the advantages and superiorities of combining low-dimensional perovskites with their 3D counterparts in improving the PCEs and durability of 3D-PSCs, the recent advances in the development and fabrication of mixeddimensional PSCs with 1D/0D perovskites as passivators are summarized and discussed in the review.The superiority of 1D/0D perovskites as passivators over 2D counterparts, the passivation mechanism and the methods of 1D/0D perovskites are also presented and discussed. Furthermore, the rules to choose1D/0D perovskites or relevant spacer cations are also emphasized. On this basis, several specific strategies to design and fabricate mixed-dimensional PSCs with 1D/0D perovskites are presented and discussed.Finally, the crucial challenges and future research directions of mixed-dimensional PSCs with 1D/0D perovskites as passivators are also proposed and discussed. This review will provide some useful insights for the future development of high-efficiency and durable mixed-dimensional PSCs.展开更多

Nevertheless, the conventional PSCs with three-dimensional(3D) halide perovskites as light absorbers suffer from inferior PCEs and poor durability under sunlight, high-temperature and humid conditions due to the high defect amount and structural instability of 3D perovskites, respectively. To tackle these crucial issues, lower-dimensional halide perovskites including zero-dimensional(0D), onedimensional(1D), and two-dimensional(2D) perovskites have been employed as efficient passivators to boost the PCEs and durability of 3D-PSCs due to the high structural stability and superior resistance against moisture, heat and sunlight. Therefore, in order to achieve better understanding about the advantages and superiorities of combining low-dimensional perovskites with their 3D counterparts in improving the PCEs and durability of 3D-PSCs, the recent advances in the development and fabrication of mixeddimensional PSCs with 1D/0D perovskites as passivators are summarized and discussed in the review.The superiority of 1D/0D perovskites as passivators over 2D counterparts, the passivation mechanism and the methods of 1D/0D perovskites are also presented and discussed. Furthermore, the rules to choose1D/0D perovskites or relevant spacer cations are also emphasized. On this basis, several specific strategies to design and fabricate mixed-dimensional PSCs with 1D/0D perovskites are presented and discussed.Finally, the crucial challenges and future research directions of mixed-dimensional PSCs with 1D/0D perovskites as passivators are also proposed and discussed. This review will provide some useful insights for the future development of high-efficiency and durable mixed-dimensional PSCs.

文摘Perovskite solar cells(PSCs)are regarded as promising candidates for future renewable energy production.High-density defects in the perovskite films,however,lead to unsatisfactory device performances.Here,poly(propylene glycol)bis(2-aminopropyl ether)(PEA)additive is utilized to passivate the trap states in perovskite.The PEA molecules chemically interact with lead ions in perovskite,considerably passivate surface and bulk defects,which is in favor of charge transfer and extraction.Furthermore,the PEA additive can efficiently block moisture and oxygen to prolong the device lifetime.As a result,PEA-treated MAPbI3(MA:CH3NH3)solar cells show increased power conversion efficiency(PCE)(from 17.18 to 18.87%)and good longterm stability.When PEA is introduced to(FAPbI3)1-x(MAPbBr3)x(FA:HC(NH2)2)solar cells,the PCE is enhanced from 19.66 to 21.60%.For both perovskites,their severe device hysteresis is efficiently relieved by PEA.

文摘The interfaces of perovskite solar cells(PSCs)are well known to be rich in deep-level carrier traps,which serve as non-radiative recombination centers and limit the open-circuit voltage(Voc)and power conversion efficiency(PCE)of PSCs.Defect chemistry and surface passivators have been researched extensively and mainly focused on the neutralization of uncoordinated lead or anion defects.Herein,a novel brominated passivator 2-bromophenethylammonium iodide(2-Br-PEAI)is introduced for a multi-functional passivation effect at the perovskite interface.The brominated species readily form 2D perovskite on top of the 3D perovskite and multi-interact with the 3D perovskite surface.Apart from the halide vacancy filling and anion bonding ability,the Br atoms on the benzene ring can interact with the FA cations via strong hydrogen bonding N-H…Br and interact with the[PbI_(6)]^(4−)inorganic framework.The interface defects in the PSCs are well passivated,minimizing non-radiative recombination and enhancing device performance.As a result,a champion PCE of 24.22%was achieved with high V_(oc)and fill factor.In addition,modified devices also showed enhanced operational stability(retention of>95%initial PCE after 400 h)and humidity resistance(>90%initial PCE maintained after 1500 h under~50%RH).

文摘UV-absorbing additives have recently been demonstrated to be effective interfacial modifiers that simultaneously enhance the UV stability and crystallization of halide perovskite.However,the underlying mechanisms concerning UV absorption,defect passivation,and efficacy optimization of these additives remain unresolved.Herein,two UV tautomeric absorbers(UV320 and UV327)are selected as defect-passivators for perovskites.The keto-enol tautomeric evolution processes and corresponding defect passivation performance/mechanism of both the original molecules and their tautomers are thoroughly compared and elucidated through experimental characterizations and density functional theory calculations.The additional carbonyl(-C=O)groups generated through the keto-enol tautomeric process triggered by the Cl atom in UV327 ultimately provide superior chemical coordination and enhanced defect-passivation capability compared to the original counterparts.Moreover,the versatility of K-UV327 is further demonstrated by its optimization of SnO_(2)film quality,interfacial energy band alignment,charge extraction efficiency,and defect state suppression.The photodetector optimized by UV327's tautomer achieves an ultralow dark current density of 3.22×10^(-10)A cm^(-2),an enhanced linear dynamic range of 94.14 d B,and a fast response time of 23.35/26.19μs.Notably,unencapsulated devices maintain a stable response at 3900 Hz following 300 h exposure to 40%±5%relative humidity and 30 h UV irradiation.

文摘Vacuum-deposited perovskite light-emitting diodes(PeLEDs)have demonstrated significant potential for high-colorgamut active-matrix displays.Despite the rapid advance of green PeLEDs,red ones remain a considerable challenge because of the inferior photophysical properties of vacuum-deposited red-light-emitting materials.Here,a rationally designed fluorine-modified phosphine oxide additive was introduced to in-situ passivate vacuum-deposited perovskites.The highly polar 2-F-TPPO incorporated perovskite films demonstrated enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY),suppressed defects,and improved crystallinity.When implemented as active layers in PeLEDs,an external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 12.6%with an emission wavelength of 640 nm is achieved,which was 6 times higher compared to the previously reported most efficient vacuum-deposited red PeLEDs(EQE below 2%).Our findings lay the foundations for the further exploration of high-performance vacuum-deposited PeLEDs toward fullcolor perovskite displays.

文摘Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites have attained extensive attention owing to their outstanding photovoltaic performances,but the existence of numerous defects in crystalline perovskites is still a serious constraint for the further development of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).In particular,the rapid crystallization guided by anti-solvents leads to plenty of surficial and interfacial defects in perovskite films.Herein,we report the adoption of a pseudo-halide anion based ionic liquid additive,1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate(BMIMSCN)for growing ternary cation(CsFAMA,where FA=formamidinium and MA=methylammonium)perovskites with large-scale crystal grains and strong preferential orientation via the enhanced Ostwald ripening.Meanwhile,a novel halide-free passivator,benzylammonium formate(BAFa),was employed as a buffering layer on the perovskite films to suppress surface-dominated charge recombination.As a result,the cooperative effects of BMIMSCN additive and BAFa passivator lead to significant enhancements on fluorescence lifetime(from 79.41 to 201.01 ns),open-circuit voltage(from 1.13 to 1.19 V),photoelectric conversion efficiency(from 18.90%to 22.33%).Moreover,the BMIMSCN/BAFa-CsFAMA PSCs demonstrated greatly improved stability against moisture and heat.This work suggests a promising strategy to improve the quality of perovskite materials via reducing the surficial and interfacial defects by the synergistic effects of lattice doping and interface engineering.

文摘The transition of perovskite solar cells(PSCs)from laboratory-scale devices to large-area commercial modules is fundamentally challenged by the poor uniformity and repeatability of conventional solution-based surface passivation.To overcome this critical bottleneck,we introduce a vacuumevaporated passivation strategy using the thermally evaporable molecule bathophenanthroline(BPhen).This solvent-free approach yields highly uniform passivation layers,effectively suppressing surface defects and enhancing charge extraction through synergistic π-π stacking with the C60 electron transport layer.Our fully vacuum-evaporated PSCs achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 20.13%for champion cells and 18.42%for 5 cm×5 cm mini-modules.These results not only demonstrate the superiority of evaporated passivation for fabricating large-area devices but also establish a scalable and robust engineering pathway toward the commercial production of highperformance perovskite photovoltaics.

文摘The introduction of two-dimensional(2D)perovskite layers on top of three-dimensional(3D)perovskite films enhances the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).However,the electronic effect of the spacer cation and the quality of the 2D capping layer are critical factors in achieving the required results.In this study,we compared two fluorinated salts:4-(trifluoromethyl)benzamidine hydrochloride(4TF-BA·HCl)and 4-fluorobenzamidine hydrochloride(4F-BA·HCl)to engineer the 3D/2D perovskite films.Surprisingly,4F-BA formed a high-performance 3D/2D heterojunction,while4TF-BA produced an amorphous layer on the perovskite films.Our findings indicate that the balanced intramolecular charge polarization,which leads to effective hydrogen bonding,is more favorable in 4F-BA than in 4TF-BA,promoting the formation of a crystalline 2D perovskite.Nevertheless,4TF-BA managed to improve efficiency to 24%,surpassing the control device,primarily due to the natural passivation capabilities of benzamidine.Interestingly,the devices based on 4F-BA demonstrated an efficiency exceeding 25%with greater longevity under various storage conditions compared to 4TF-BA-based and the control devices.

文摘We describe the design and synthesis of eco-friendly AgInS_(2)/ZnS QDs via a facile one-pot synthesis method for application in encryption and anti-counterfeiting.A significant enhancement in PLQY(up to 45%)and stability are observed with increased ZnS shell thickness.By varying the Ag:In composition from 1:2 to 1:0.25,the PL emission of AgInS_(2)/ZnS QDs can be tuned from the visible to NIR(up to 900 nm).The ink fabricated with AgInS_(2)/ZnSQDs shows greater thermal and water stability compared to AgInS_(2)QDs.The patterns printed with these luminescent inks show excellent water and thermal stability and the capability to print on surfaces of any type and color,making them promising for practical use.These printed patterns are completely transparent/invisible in normal light and visible under 254 nm,365 nm and 464 nm(blue LED)illumination.These features offer rapid responsive and multi-layered information encryption,and sophisticated anti-counterfeiting.

文摘The soft actuator is characterized by high safety,flexibility,and adaptability.It is capable of both active and passive defor-mations.This paper presents a discrete degree of freedom(DOF)method for soft actuators to reveal DOF characteristics.The method draws on the superposition mechanism of the deformation characteristics of the sarcomere in the skeletal muscles of living organisms.Firstly,the multi-DOF deformation characteristics of the soft actuator are discretized into superimposed combinations of single-DOF micro-units.Then,the soft actuator was determined to contain deformation characteristics such as extension-contraction,bending,and twisting.Eighteen types of micro-units with basic deforma-tion characteristics were obtained depending on the axis and orientation.Further,the mapping relationship between the combination of micro-units and the motion characteristics of the soft actuator based on the GF set theory was established.Finally,an active-passive DOF co-structured soft actuator(APCSA)was developed.The graphical approach analyzes the experimental results,and it can be concluded that active and passive DOFs can coexist in the composite deformation of the soft actuator.

文摘A novel trace nickel(Ni)doped tungsten(W)matrix with coated Ni on W grains was prepared by powder metallurgy method.The introduction of Ni can inhibit the reaction between W and barium-calcium aluminates(Ba-Ca aluminates)during the impregnation process of the matrix.After cathode activation,the surface Ba:O molar ratio is 0.88:1.00,much higher than the Ba dispenser cathode without Ni doping.The XPS results of the cathode surface showed that the metallic Ba appeared on the activated cathode surface,forming dipoles with oxygen,and effectively reducing the cathode surface work function.The pulse electron emission current density at 1100℃_(b)(brightness temperature)was 18.26 A/cm^(2),and the calculated work function was 1.97 eV.It has a low evaporation rate and the accelerated lifetime test predict a lifetime of over 160000 h.First-principles calculations showed that the charge transfer and dipole moment in the NiW-BaO system were both increased compared to the Ba dispenser cathode,thus improving the emission performance of the Ni-W mixed matrix cathode.

文摘This paper proposes a passive control method to reduce peak values of slipstream and turbulent kinetic energy in a high-speed train wake by attaching vortex generators(VGs)onto the upper surface of the tail car.The impact of the VGs is assessed through the improved delayed detached eddy simulations(IDDES)after validating predictions against previous experimental measurements and other numerical predictions for the base case.The simulations indicate that strategically installed VGs can reduce the average slipstream velocity(U slipstream)and the upper limit of slipstream velocity(U_(slipstream,max))by~17%and~15%,respectively,as well as moving the peaks downstream by approximately train height,thus reducing the danger posed by slipstream to waiting passengers and trackside workers.Analysis shows that the wake turbulent kinetic energy diminishes as the vortex generators decelerate the downwash flow and reduce shear production in the wake.It is also found that the presence of VGs significantly impacts the flow on the upper surface near the tail by modifying the unsteady trailing longitudinal vortices through the formation of additional counter-rotating longitudinal vortices from the VGs.These latter vortices prevent the merging of vortical airflow around the trailing nose tip,which is otherwise induced by the longitudinal vortex of the train.They also reduce vortex intensity through cross-annihilation and cross diffusion as the wake advects downstream,limiting outwards advection through interaction with the image pair,and contributing to a decrease in the peak slipstream value.The method proposed offers a simple approach to wake control leading to significant slipstream benefits.

文摘Although the certified power conversion efficiency(PCE)of single-junction perovskite solar cells(PSCs)has achieved a high level of 27%,approaching the single-crystalline silicon solar cells,the device stability remains an urgent issue to be resolved for the commercialization.Defect passivation emerged as a viable approach to enhance the operational stability of the solar devices.Herein,phenylthiourea(PhTu)derivatives are selected as effective passivation agents to enhance the optoelectronic properties of printed methylammonium lead iodide(MAPbI_(3))films.It is demonstrated that incorporating a small amount of 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2-thiourea(PhTu-COOH)significantly reduces the trap-state density and leads to longer carrier lifetime of the perovskite films.As a result,the inverted solar device made of Ph Tu-COOH-modified MAPbI_(3) perovskite film shows remarkably improved efficiency(from 17.29%to 20.22%)and obviously increased open-circuit voltage(V_(OC))(from 1.043 to 1.143 V),as compared with the pristine device.Moreover,the Ph Tu-COOH-modified PSCs exhibit enhanced operational stability due to the significantly reduced trap-state density.Finally,the optimized solar module fabricated with an active area of 11.28 cm^(2) delivers a high PCE of 17.07%with negligible V_(OC)loss,demonstrating the feasibility of the blade-coating method for large-area perovskite film deposition.
文摘Aerodynamic research on road cars was reviewed in this work under the thread of reducing drag,with the awareness that this may succeed in effectively decreasing the carbon footprint of transportation.First,a selection of studies was presented to focus on the most important aerodynamic features of the flow around realistic car body shapes.Then,the discussion was organized around three pillars related to passive flow control,active flow control and active aerodynamics.Both experimental and numerical investigations were included to provide a comprehensive overview.A clear distinction was made between simplified and realistic car models,as well as production vehicles(within the limits of restricted access information).Moreover,a short essay was dedicated to electric vehicles,for which aerodynamics matters,especially at highway speeds.Last,the impact of aerodynamic principles on the design of current and future vehicle fleet was assessed,honestly admitting that recent market trends must be reversed to turn decarbonization goals into reality and damp the effects of global warming.
