Efficient defect passivation for high performance perovskite solar cell by adding alizarin red S

Planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have excellent photoelectric properties and show great commercialization potential. However, there are a lot of crystal defects in the perovskite films prepared by solution method, which reduces the development process of solar cells. In this work, alizarin red s (ARS) was doped into MAPbI₃ films to passivate the defect. It was shown that the addition of ARS increased the quality of perovskite film and doped perovskite film exhibited improved light absorption. In addition, it was found that there was a strong interaction between ARS and perovskite, which reduced the density of defect states. The results showed that the passivated perovskite device had improved PL intensity, increased carrier lifetimes and reduced charge recombination. After passivation, the device obtained a higher open-circuit voltage (V_OC) of 1.103 V where the control device was 1.055 V, and the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the doped device was 18.82%, which is 11.36% higher than that of the control device of 16.90%.

Highly efficient photocatalytic activity and mechanism of novel Er3+ and Tb3+ co-doped BiOBr/ g-C3N5 towards sulfamethoxazole degradation

Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) are considered to be an important p-type semiconductors in the photocatalysis applications. In particular, tetragonal BiOBr is considered as a stable photocatalyst due to its resilient absorption in the visible region with an band gap energy of 2.8 eV. In the meantime, lanthanide ions (with 3+ oxidation state) implies as conversion catalyst gained huge impact and remain a serious topic in materials chemistry. Here we synthesized upconversion photocatalyst mainly consists of BiOBr with the Er ³⁺ and Tb ³⁺ ions along with low band gap g-C₃N₅ for the improved photocatalytic performances. The synthesized Er³⁺/Tb³⁺@BiOBr-g-C₃N₅ heterojunction was systematically characterized by XRD, and FT-IR for the confirmation of the composite and their morphology were analysed with FESEM and HR-TEM analysis which revealed that the sheets of g-C₃N₅ were decorated by Er³⁺/Tb³⁺ loaded BiOBr microspheres. The XPS analysis confirmed the suitable oxidation state of all the individual elements existing in the composite. As the UV-DRS analysis showed that the band gap of the Er³⁺/Tb³⁺ BiOBr-gC₃N₅ heterojunction was narrowed to 2.64 eV. To evaluate the photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized g-C₃N₅, Er³⁺/Tb³⁺@BiOBr and Er³⁺/Tb³⁺@BiOBr-gC₃N₅ heterojunction under the simulated visible light irradiation source towards the aqueous sulfamethoxazole degradation. The Er³⁺/Tb³⁺@BiOBr-gC₃N₅ heterojunction shows maximum degradation efficiency of 94.2% after 60 min of visible light irradiation whereas the pure g-C₃N₅ provided about 43.8% and Er³⁺/Tb³⁺@BiOBr implies 55.2% degradation efficiency. The plausible degradation mechanism of pollutant removal was proposed.     

Suppressed Lattice Disorder for Large Emission Enhancement and Structural Robustness in Hybrid Lead Iodide Perovskite Discovered by High-Pressure Isotope Effect

The soft nature of organic–inorganic halide perovskites renders their lattice particularly tunable to external stimuli such as pressure, undoubtedly offering an effective way to modify their structure for extraordinary optoelectronic properties. Here, using the methylammonium lead iodide as a representative exploratory platform, it is observed that the pressure-driven lattice disorder can be significantly suppressed via hydrogen isotope effect, which is crucial for better optical and mechanical properties previously unattainable. By a comprehensive in situ neutron/synchrotron-based analysis and optical characterizations, a remarkable photoluminescence (PL) enhancement by threefold is convinced in deuterated CD₃ND₃PbI₃, which also shows much greater structural robustness with retainable PL after high peak-pressure compression–decompression cycle. With the first-principles calculations, an atomic level understanding of the strong correlation among the organic sublattice and lead iodide octahedral framework and structural photonics is proposed, where the less dynamic CD₃ND₃⁺ cations are vital to maintain the long-range crystalline order through steric and Coulombic interactions. These results also show that CD₃ND₃PbI₃-based solar cell has comparable photovoltaic performance as CH₃NH₃PbI₃-based device but exhibits considerably slower degradation behavior, thus representing a paradigm by suggesting isotope-functionalized perovskite materials for better materials-by-design and more stable photovoltaic application.
