n-type charge transport in heavily p-doped polymers

Zhiming Liang et al.

Summary: It has been shown through Seebeck coefficient and Hall effect measurements that mobile electrons play a significant role in charge-carrier transport in p-conjugated polymers heavily p-doped with strong electron acceptors. Doping with oxidizing agents eliminates the transport gap at high doping concentrations, indicating a promising route to high-performance n-type organic thermoelectric materials.

Perovskite solar cells with atomically coherent interlayers on SnO2 electrodes

Hanul Min et al.

Summary: By introducing an interlayer between the electron-transporting and perovskite layers in perovskite solar cells, researchers have successfully enhanced charge extraction and transport from the perovskite, leading to higher power conversion efficiency and fewer interfacial defects. The coherent interlayer allowed the fabrication of devices with a certified efficiency of 25.5%, which maintained about 90% of its initial efficiency even after continuous light exposure for 500 hours. The findings provide guidelines for designing defect-minimizing interfaces in metal halide perovskites and electron-transporting layers.

Toward Stable Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Photovoltaics: A Six-Month Outdoor Performance Study in a Hot and Humid Climate

Michele De Bastiani et al.

Summary: Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells have shown promising outdoor performance in field-testing in Saudi Arabia. While the open circuit voltage remains stable, the fill factor degrades due to reversible ion migration in perovskite and irreversible corrosion of the silver top contact, which forms silver iodide. These findings provide guidance for the development of more stable perovskite/silicon tandems.
