1. Optimizing carrier collection in solar cells through nanoscale junction design.
1. 通过纳米级结设计优化太阳能电池中的载流子收集PMID:日期:2026-03-19A key challenge in thin-film photovoltaics is achieving selective carrier collection that minimizes recombination losses while maintaining efficient charge extraction. This study presents a theoretical analysis of how reducing junction contact area can enhance the open-circuit voltage ( ) and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) in thin-film solar cells. Using a zinc-phosphide (ZnP) -based heterojunction as a model, we simulate the effect of geometrically minimizing contact silicon-dioxide (SiO) layers with patterned holes. The smaller the contact area, the lower the reverse saturation current, which results in a significant increase in the up to 100 mV. However, the reduced contact area also increases the series resistance, thereby limiting the gain in PCE. This approach is especially effective with non-absorbing highly-doped transport layers, such as titanium-dioxide (TiO) (PCE gain up to 1.45%). This work underscores the importance of balancing reduced recombination with parasitic resistance and current crowding for optimal performance.

2. Elucidating the influence of secondary nitrogen precursors on the performance of Fe-N-C catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
2. 阐明次级氮前驱体对质子交换膜燃料电池Fe-N-C催化剂性能的影响PMID:日期:2026-02-20Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) offer high efficiency, rapid refueling, and zero-carbon operation, but their commercialization is constrained by the cost of platinum-based oxygen reduction catalysts. Transition metal-nitrogen-carbon materials, particularly Fe-N-C, are promising platinum-free alternatives, although their activity and durability still require improvement. Ammonia is often introduced during synthesis to enhance nitrogen incorporation, but safer nitrogen sources are desirable to simplify processing and reduce associated hazards. Here, we investigate the use of urea, melamine, cyanoguanidine, and nicarbazin as nitrogen precursors during the thermal activation of ZIF-8-derived Fe-N-C catalysts, aiming to promote nitrogen incorporation and active-site formation without the use of ammonia. Structural analysis reveals that the use of urea, melamine, and cyanoguanidine during heat-treatment largely preserve the ZIF-8 morphology, while nicarbazin leads to the formation carbonaceous flakes. The high surface area of ZIF-8 (∼1600 m g) is partially retained after pyrolysis (∼1200 m g). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals enhanced nitrogen content and increased Fe-N species, most notably in urea-activated samples. Electrochemical testing in an acidic electrolyte confirms higher onset potentials and mass activities for urea- and melamine-activated catalysts compared to the control, with consistent trends observed in rotating disk electrode and single-cell PEMFC measurements. Despite their lower intrinsic activity compared to Pt/C, Fe-N-C catalysts exhibit enhanced ORR kinetics when secondary nitrogen precursors are used during synthesis. Despite elevated peroxide yields predicted from rotating ring disk electrode measurements, ion chromatography indicates a modest increase in ionomer degradation compared to Pt/C during fuel cell tests. Overall, nitrogen-rich molecular precursors enhance Fe-N-C activity while providing a safer and scalable pathway for nitrogen doping, advancing the development of cost-effective non-platinum catalysts for fuel cells.

3. Dynamic eco-techno-economic analysis of low-carbon hydrogen production from methane.
3. 甲烷低碳制氢的动态生态-技术-经济分析PMID:日期:2026-02-02Hydrogen is currently produced predominantly through fossil fuel reforming, which accounts for approximately 3% of annual global CO emissions. To reduce the carbon intensity of hydrogen production, several low-carbon alternatives have been proposed, including biogas reforming and electrified steam methane reforming (e-SMR). Biogas benefits from its biogenic origin, leading to near net-zero carbon emissions, while e-SMR replaces the natural gas combustion used for reactor heating in conventional SMR with electrical heating. This modeling study performs a dynamic techno-economic assessment of these processes in comparison with state-of-the-art steam methane reforming (SMR) and auto-thermal reforming (ATR), evaluating the impact of implementing carbon capture and permanent storage (CCS). The analysis incorporates time-resolved and seasonal variations of real electricity prices in French, Swiss and German scenarios, employed as reference cases for low and high electricity grid footprints. Large-scale SMR and ATR plants exhibit the highest process efficiency (79-81%), which remains stable when CCS is implemented (77-81%). Lower efficiencies are observed for biogas reforming (56-67% with base case and 65-69% with CCS) and e-SMR (59% with base case and 71% with CCS) due to their smaller scale and the presence of CO in the feed. CCS significantly reduces carbon footprints: from 8.6-8.7 to 1.2-3.4 kg kg for SMR and ATR and from 0.2-1.0 to -10 to -4 kg kg for biogas reforming. e-SMR emissions (from 6-18 to 0.3-10 kg kg with CCS) depend strongly on the electricity mix. The possible presence of carbon credits makes the application of CCS economically beneficial for SMR and ATR (H cost ranging from 1.6 to 1.3 € per kg ) and for biogas reforming (from 3.7 to 3.5 € per kg ). e-SMR competitiveness is highly electricity-price-dependent and benefits from CCS regardless of carbon credits, performing best in France (3.7 to 2.6 € per kg with CCS) and worst in Switzerland (4.2 to 3.1 € per kg with CCS). Intermittent operation to exploit low-cost electricity may further reduce e-SMR costs by 0.1-0.4 € per kg .

4. {"_":"利用原子分散的硼N-C@石墨催化剂高效电还原CO制备C和C产物。","sub":["2","1","2"]}PMID:日期:2025-10-22Atomically precise control of active sites is essential for advancing metal-free electrocatalysts for the CO reduction reaction (CORR). We report boron- and nitrogen-co-doped graphite (boron-N-C@graphite) derived from chloro-boron subphthalocyanine (Cl-B-SubPc), an aromatic macrocyclic precursor that directs simultaneous incorporation of B and N into conductive carbon frameworks. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the formation of B-C and B-N motifs alongside pyridinic and graphitic N, generating electron-deficient centers that modulate intermediate binding energies. The resulting catalysts display pronounced structure-activity correlations: pyrolysis at 800 °C favors formate and acetate formation, whereas 1000 °C yields a more graphitic catalyst with enhanced CO selectivity (faradaic efficiency up to 26.9%). Mechanistic analysis indicates that the B-N synergy stabilizes *CO-intermediates, suppresses hydrogen evolution, and enables C-C coupling. Both catalysts exhibit long-term stability (>180 h), and in zero-gap electrolyzers deliver industrially relevant current densities (150 mA cm) with CO faradaic efficiencies of 79.0% and 87.4%, respectively. These findings establish B,N--doped carbons from molecular precursors as a versatile platform for elucidating active-site chemistry and for guiding the rational design of sustainable, high-performance CORR catalysts.

5. Interfacial halogen bonding with charge-transport layers for operational stability of hybrid perovskite solar cells.
5. 界面卤键与电荷传输层用于混合钙钛矿太阳能电池的工作稳定性PMID:日期:2025-10-17Hybrid metal halide perovskites have emerged as some of the leading semiconductors in photovoltaics. Despite their remarkable power conversion efficiencies, these materials remain unstable under device operating conditions. One of the main instabilities relates to the interface with the contact layers in photovoltaic devices, such as metal oxides. We rely on halogen bonding (XB) using 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (TFDIB) to modulate the interface of the TiO electron-transport layer, demonstrating the improvement of perovskite solar cell operational stability. Furthermore, we complement this strategy with the use of iodo-functionalized Zn-phthalocyanine modulator of the hole-transporting material, which passivate the interface while enhancing the power conversion efficiency, showcasing the potential of XB in hybrid photovoltaics.

6. {"_":"用于CO电还原的硼亚酞菁配合物：分子设计与催化洞察。","sub":["2"]}PMID:日期:2025-09-05This study presents molecular boron subphthalocyanine complex precursors ((Cl-B-SubPc) 1 and (Cl-B-SubPc-OCH) 2) designed for efficient CO reduction. The resulting heterogeneous catalysts exhibit remarkable total faradaic efficiencies of up to 98%, integrated into practical cell assemblies. Optimizations encompass not only catalyst design but also operational conditions, facilitating prolonged CO electrolysis across various current densities. Varied C-, C-, and C-product yields are observed at different reductive potentials, with electrocatalysis experiments conducted up to 200 mA cm. Comparative electrochemical analyses across H-cell and zero-gap cell electrolyzers show the potential for industrial scale-up. Mechanistic elucidation UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry, DFT calculations, and ESR spectroscopy demonstrates the involvement of boron N-C sites, initiating radical formation and utilizing boron's Lewis acid behavior in CO capture, followed by proton-coupled electron transfer. Overall, the study underscores the transformative potential of boron subphthalocyanine systems in advancing CO utilization technologies.

7. {"_":"Impact of precursor dosing on the surface passivation of AZO/AlO stacks formed using atomic layer deposition.","sub":[{"i":["x"]}]}
7. {"_":"前驱体剂量对原子层沉积形成的AZO/AlO叠层表面钝化效果的影响。","sub":[{"i":["x"]}]}PMID:日期:2025-02-03High-efficiency solar cell architectures, including silicon heterojunction (SHJ) and perovskite/silicon tandems, rely heavily on the unique properties of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). The push towards terawatt-scale PV manufacturing means it is increasingly desirable to develop indium-free TCOs to facilitate the upscaled manufacturing of high-efficiency cell designs. Aluminium-doped ZnO (AZO) deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) has emerged as a promising candidate due to its combination of optical transparency and electrical conductivity. In addition, AZO has also been shown to passivate the c-Si surface. The ability for one material to provide all three properties without requiring any indium is advantageous in single junction and tandem solar devices. Herein, we demonstrate exceptional silicon surface passivation using AZO/AlO stacks deposited with ALD, with a < 1 fA cm and corresponding implied open circuit voltage (iV) of 740 mV. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of ALD precursor dosing to achieve optimised performance. A broad range of characterisation approaches were used to probe the structural, compositional, and chemical properties of AZO films. These indicated that the passivation properties are governed by a delicate interplay between the Zn and Al concentrations in the film, highlighting the importance of precise process control. Optical modelling in a single junction SHJ architecture indicates these AZO films are close in performance to high-mobility indium-containing TCOs. The insights provided by this work may help to further the case of indium-free TCOs, which is critical for upscaled production of high-efficiency solar cells.

9. {"_":"Development of an automated SILAR method for the sustainable fabrication of BiOI/TiO photoanodes.","sub":["2"]}
9. {"_":"开发一种用于可持续制造BiOI/TiO光阳极的自动化SILAR方法。","sub":["2"]}PMID:日期:2024-09-05BiOI is a promising material for use in photoelectrocatalytic water oxidation, renowned for its chemical inertness and safety in aqueous media. For device integration, BiOI must be fabricated into films. Considering future industrial applications, automated production is essential. However, current BiOI film production methods lack automation and efficiency. To address this, a continuous automated process is introduced in this study, named AutoDrop, for producing BiOI films. Autodrop results to be a fast and facile method for producing BiOI photoelectrodes. Nanostructured thin films of this layered material are prepared using a syringe pump to dispense the precursor solution onto a continuously spinning substrate. These films are integrated into a multilayered photoelectrode, featuring mesoporous TiO as an electron-transporting layer on top of FTO glass. In testing the photoelectrochemical performance of the BiOI/TiO photoelectrodes, the highest photocurrent (44 μA cm) is found for a heterojunction with a BiOI thickness of 320 nm. Additionally, a further protective TiO ultrathin layer in contact with BiOI, grown by atomic layer deposition, enhances the durability and efficiency of the photoanode, resulting in a more than two-fold improvement in photocurrent after 2 hours of continuous operation. This study advances the automation in the sustainable production of photoelectrode films and provides inspiration for further developments in the field.

10. Optical constants manipulation of formamidinium lead iodide perovskites: ellipsometric and spectroscopic twigging.
10. 甲脒铅碘钙钛矿光学常数的调控：椭偏与光谱探究PMID:日期:2024-08-26Unraveling the knowledge of the complex refractive index and photophysical properties of the perovskite layer is paramount to uncovering the physical process that occurs in a perovskite solar cell under illumination. Herein, we probed the optical and photophysical properties of FAPbI (FAPI) and CsFAPbI (CsFAPI) thin films deposited from pre-synthesized powder, by the spectroscopic ellipsometer and time-resolved fluorescence spectra. We determined the complex refractive index of perovskite films by fitting the measured spectroscopic ellipsometer data with the three-oscillator Tauc-Lorentz (T-L) model. We deduced that the CsFAPI thin film had a slightly lower absorption coefficient than the FAPI, but a higher refractive index and dielectric constant than the FAPI. The peak photoluminescence (PL) emission of FAPI and CsFAPI thin film on glass substrates was observed around 803 nm and 799 nm, respectively, while on ITO substrates, both FAPI and CsFAPI thin film was quenched and red-shifted to 816 nm. The methylammonium free pure CsFAPI-based perovskite solar cell fabricated in p-i-n configuration, measured a competitive efficiency of 16.14%, characterized by a of 23.995 mA cm, of 912 mV, and FF of 73.74%.
