The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used in indoor testing of perovskite solar cells do not expose them to the levels ultraviolet (UV) radiation that they would receive actual outdoor use. We report degradation mechanisms p-i-n-structured under unfiltered sunlight and with LEDs. Weak chemical bonding between perovskites polymer hole-transporting materials (HTMs) transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) dominate accelerated A-site cation migration, rather than direct HTMs. An aromatic phosphonic...
Ligands that can discriminate between individual rare earth elements are important for production of these critical elements. A set aryl-vinyl phosphonic acid ligands extracting were designed and synthesized under the hypothesis strength earth–ligand interactions could be tuned by changing dipole moment ligand. The via a two-step reaction procedure using Heck coupling to functionalize vinyl acid, followed Steglich esterification obtain high-purity styryl monoesters with varying moments along...
