Inorganic Electron Transport Materials in Perovskite Solar Cells

Liangyou Lin et al.

Summary: Over the past decade, there has been significant progress in the development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), with improvements in power conversion efficiency and long-term stability making them competitive candidates for next-generation photovoltaics. This review focuses on the advancements in inorganic electron transport materials (ETMs) for PSCs, particularly the three most prevalent materials (TiO2, SnO2, and ZnO) and their applications in tandem devices. Strategies to optimize the performance of the electron transport layer (ETL) in PSCs and the impact of ETL on device stability and efficiency are also discussed.

Flexible High-Performance and Solution-Processed Organic Photovoltaics with Robust Mechanical Stability

Yanna Sun et al.

Summary: The key advantage of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) is their flexibility as a highly renewable energy source. However, flexible OPV devices still lag behind rigid counterparts in power conversion efficiencies, and their mechanical stability cannot meet practical application requirements at present. By utilizing a high-quality flexible transparent electrode (FlexAgNE) combined with efficient active materials and an upper ZnO transport layer, comparable high performance with rigid counterparts has been achieved. The synergistic effect of FlexAgNE and the upper ZnO transport layer leads to robust mechanical stability of flexible devices even under extreme bending or folding conditions.
