Abstract The notoriously poor stability of perovskite solar cells is a crucial issue restricting commercial applications. Here, fluorinated perylenediimide (F‐PDI) first introduced into film to enhance the device's photovoltaic performance, as well thermal and moisture simultaneously. conductive F‐PDI molecules filling at grain boundaries (GBs) surface can passivate defects promote charge transport through GBs due chelation between carbonyl noncoordinating lead. Furthermore, an effective...

Polynitrogen compounds especially pentazolate anion complexes recently have attracted substantial attention due to their promising potential as high-energy-density materials. Here, using a machine-learning-accelerated crystal structure search method and first-principles calculations, we predict new hybrid compound by inserting large fraction of nitrogen into alkaline-earth metals. It is stoichiometric type MN10 (M = Be, Mg), which possesses metal-centering octahedral framework with the space...

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and water (H2O) are abundant in the interior of planets. Their properties, particular their interaction, significantly affect planet structure thermal evolution. Here, using crystal predictions ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we find that MgO H2O can react again at ultrahigh pressure, although Mg(OH)2 decomposes low pressure.
