Interface engineering is crucial to achieving stable perovskite photovoltaic devices. A versatile approach developed tailor interface properties via integrating co-assembled monolayers (co-SAMs) at the p-type buried and by capping a two-dimensional (2D) layer n-type upper with vacuum quenching. Optimized co-SAMs promote coverage of hole transport layer, significantly reducing incidence leakage currents. Based on this foundation, we develop damp-heat-stable solar cells precisely tailoring...
Abstract Organic photovoltaics (OPV) now can exceed 20% power conversion efficiency in single junction solar cells. To close the remaining gap to competing technologies, both fill factor and open‐circuit voltage must be optimized. The Langevin reduction is a well‐known concept that measures degree which charge extraction favored over recombination. It therefore ideally suited as an optimization target high‐throughput workflows; however, its evaluation so far requires expert interaction....

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently achieved over 26% power conversion efficiency, challenging the dominance of silicon-based alternatives. This progress is significantly driven by innovations in hole transport materials (HTMs), which notably influence efficiency and stability PSCs. However, conventional organic HTMs like PTAA, although highly efficient, suffer from thermal degradation, moisture ingress, high cost. study explores potential iminodibenzyl, a moiety known for its strong...

Two-dimensional halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) have exceptional light-emitting properties, including wide spectral tunability, ultrafast radiative decays, high quantum yields (QY), and oriented emission. Due to the binding energies of electron–hole pairs, excitons are generally considered dominant species responsible for carrier transfer in NPL films. To realize efficient devices, it is imperative understand how exciton transport progresses therein. We employ spatially temporally...
In organic field-effect transistors, conductivity is achieved by electronically injected charges that form high-density accumulation layers. We report self-consistent calculations of Poisson's equation, carrier statistics, and the Drude permittivity gas at interface between semiconductors insulators. The results show carriers efficiently screen local potentials. Additionally, AC reduces electrical fields particularly frequencies several THz. This dynamic screening may affect formation large...
