Mechanical failure and chemical degradation of device heterointerfaces can strongly influence the long-term stability perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under thermal cycling damp heat conditions. We report chirality-mediated interfaces based on
Optomechanical reliability has emerged as an important criterion for evaluating the performance and commercialization potential of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to mechanical-property mismatch metal halide perovskites with other device layer. In this work, grain-boundary grooves, a rarely discussed film microstructural characteristic, are found impart significant effects on optomechanical perovskite-substrate heterointerfaces thus PSC performance. By pre-burying iso-butylammonium...

The excellent operational reliability allows...
Abstract Achieving strong and broadband circularly polarized colour responses in chiral inorganic materials is challenging. Here, we fabricated mesostructured bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) films (CMBFs) via hydrothermal growth using sugar alcohols as symmetry‐breaking agents. The layered slabs of BiOBr crystals with weak van‐der‐Waals interactions are prone to mismatching due the driving force, resulting hierarchically arrangements fine size. Three levels chirality exist CMBFs: primary, helical...

Abstract Chirality is an attribute based on the structural geometry of materials, which confers a distinctive energy band structure for intriguing optical, electronic, and spintronic properties. Recent studies chirality encountered in perovskite(‐inspired) halides (PiHs) have drawn increasing attention, not only because large chemical diversity PiHs seen at molecular, nanoscopic, microscopic levels, but also due to observation various emergent properties multifunctional device applications....
The bigger pictureThe fast-paced advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) necessitate highly efficient edge computing. A crucial component this scenario is memristor, a specialized sensor adept at processing information within memory.

Abstract Organic–inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) show high promise in optical and electronic applications such as solar cells, light‐emitting diodes, nonlinear optics. However, the fundamental knowledge of atomic‐scale microstructures OIHP thin films is limited due to challenge characterizing them using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Here a solution‐phase “release‐and‐transfer” method demonstrated, which entails lifting from their original substrates while maintaining film...
