Refined GFN1-xTB Parameters for Engineering Phase-Stable CsPbX3 Perovskites

Sander Raaijmakers et al.

Summary: This work presents refined GFN1-xTB parameters for accurate description of structural and dynamical properties of different types of perovskite materials. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the phase stability is strongly correlated to the displacement of ions in the perovskites, while the mixing of halides lowers the phase transition temperatures and improves phase stability.

High-Efficiency Crystalline Silicon-Based Solar Cells Using Textured TiO2 Layer and Plasmonic Nanoparticles

Ali Elrashidi et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a high-efficiency crystalline silicon-based solar cell that performs well in the visible and near-infrared regions. The performance of the solar cell is enhanced by adding a textured TiO2 layer on top of the active silicon layer and a back reflector with gratings. The optimization of the active layer thickness and the dimensions of the back reflector grating are discussed, as well as the improvement in light absorption through the use of plasmonic nanoparticles. The results show a significant increase in short circuit current density and power conversion efficiency.

Multi-Functional Solid Additive Induced Favorable Vertical Phase Separation and Ordered Molecular Packing for Highly Efficient Layer-by-Layer Organic Solar Cells

Runnan Yu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates hierarchical morphology control in Layer-by-Layer (LBL) organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells using a dual functional solid additive. By individually or simultaneously introducing the solid additive to the donor or acceptor layer, preferable vertical component distribution and enhanced molecular crystallinity were achieved, leading to high power conversion efficiencies of 16.4% and 17.4% in binary and quaternary LBL devices. This approach offers an alternative method to manipulate the morphology of LBL OPV cells for improved efficiency and stability.

Igal Levine et al.

Summary: Identification of electronic processes at buried interfaces of charge selective contacts is crucial for photovoltaic and photocatalysis research. Transient surface photovoltage and photoluminescence provide complementary information on charge transfer kinetics and trapping/de-trapping mechanisms.
