Summary: By modulating the electronic structure of Pt, a Pt-based catalyst with high OER activity under acidic conditions and large current density was developed. In situ experiments showed the production of a key (*O)-Pt-1-C2N2 intermediate, favoring the dissociation of H2O and preventing over-oxidation of active sites.

Summary: In this study, we fabricated ternary organic solar cells with high efficiency and decent performance by combining two donor polymers using a simple synthesis method. Our results indicate that the optimal morphology of the ternary blend is achieved through the coupling and competition between PTQ10 and PTVT-T, leading to efficient charge transport and suppressed bimolecular recombination. Furthermore, the optimized solvent-vapor-assisted casting method improved the efficiency of the optimal system to 19.11%.

Summary: According to research, the power conversion efficiency of tin-lead perovskite solar cells can be improved by using specific hole transport layers. By using substances such as 2PACz and MPA, comparable performance to traditional PEDOT:PSS can be achieved. Experimental results showed that coabsorption of 2PACz and MPA on the transparent conducting oxide layer can further enhance the performance of tin-lead perovskite solar cells.

Summary: This study constructs a Zn/Bi electrode by in-situ growth of a Bi-based energizer upon the Zn metal surface using a replacement reaction. Experimental and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the Bi-based energizer composed of metallic Bi and ZnBi alloy contributes significantly to Zn plating/stripping due to strong adsorption energy and fast ion transport rates. The Zn/Bi electrode not only avoids Zn dendrite growth but also improves Zn anode anti-corrosion performance.
