Perovskite films feature unique optoelectronic properties, rendering them promising for electronic devices. The properties depend on the morphology a broad range of length scales from nanometers to millimeters, influenced by variety factors. However, controlling is challenging. A tailored supramolecular additive, N, N'-bis(2-aminoethyl) terephthalamide developed control intermediate and perovskite crystallization methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) enhance thermal moisture stability in...
Stability is one of the most important challenges facing material research for organic solar cells (OSC) on their path to further commercialization. In high-performance system PM6:Y6 studied here, we investigate degradation mechanisms inverted photovoltaic devices. We have identified two distinct pathways: requires presence both illumination and oxygen features a short-circuit current reduction, other induced thermally marked by severe losses open-circuit voltage fill factor. focus our...
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) operating at temperatures above 100 °C offer an interesting opportunity for heavy-duty applications. Especially intermediate between 110 and 130 (IT-PEMFC), faster reaction kinetics, higher tolerance to impurities, water flooding as well improved heat management of the cell system have been observed. Perfluorosulfonic acid-based membranes (PFSAs) can be modified by incorporating additives or (nano)particle filler systems improve their thermal...
Sulfonated, cross-linked porous polymers are promising frameworks for aqueous high-performance electrolyte-host systems electrochemical energy storage and conversion. The offer high proton conductivities, excellent chemical mechanical stabilities, straightforward water management.

We report on the synthesis postsynthetic sulfonation of an aromatic framework (SPAF-2) with a 3D-interconnected nanoporosity...
Abstract To develop a detailed understanding about halide perovskite processing from solution, the crystallization processes are investigated during spin coating and slot‐die of MAPbI 3 at different evaporation rates by simultaneous in situ photoluminescence, light scattering, absorption measurements. Based on time evolution optical parameters it is found that for both methods initially solvent‐complex‐structures form, followed crystallization. The latter proceeds two stages coating, while...
Photomemristors have been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation hardware-based neuromorphic computing due to their potentials fast data transmission and low power consumption. However, intriguingly, so far, photomemristors seldom display truly nonvolatile memory characteristics with high light sensitivity. Herein, we demonstrate ultrasensitive utilizing two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites a highly polar donor-acceptor-type push-pull organic...
Abstract Halide perovskites have received an immense attention in the field of optoelectronics due to their outstanding photophysical properties. But so far, lead‐based halide still account for most research, which raises concerns lead toxicity.
