Effects of Defect on Work Function and Energy Alignment of PbI2: Implications for Solar Cell Applications

Hongfei Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the energetics and defective levels of iodine vacancy and interstitial iodine defects in monolayer PbI2 using first-principles calculations. The results show that both defects generate in-gap defective levels and act as reservoirs or sinks for electron/hole carriers in perovskites. Additionally, the remnant PbI2 in perovskite plays dual opposite roles in affecting the efficiency, acting as a Schottky-type interface that facilitates electron-hole separation and prolongs carrier lifetime, but also serving as recombination centers due to deep defective levels.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes

Azhar Fakharuddin et al.

Summary: Light-emitting diodes based on halide perovskites have achieved significant progress in recent years, with external quantum efficiencies surpassing 23%. However, their practical application is still limited due to factors such as low efficiency in blue-emitting devices, inability to access emission wavelengths above 800 nm, decreased external quantum efficiency at high current density, lack of understanding of the electric field's effect on mobile ions in perovskite materials, and short device lifetimes. This review explores the development of perovskite light-emitting diodes, examining the key challenges in creating efficient and stable devices.

Kibret A. Messalea et al.

Summary: A stoichiometric cubic polymorph of 2D antimony oxide (Sb2O3) was synthesized as an ideal high-k dielectric sheet using a low-temperature, substrate-independent, silicon-industry-compatible liquid metal synthesis technique. The obtained alpha-Sb2O3 exhibited high crystallinity, wide band gap of approximately 4.4 eV, and a maximum relative permittivity of 84 with a breakdown electric field of around 10 MV/cm. The isolated 2D alpha-Sb2O3 nanosheets showed promise as gate oxides for conventional and van der Waals heterostructure-based electronics due to low leakage currents in top-gated field-effect transistors.
