Functionalized Phenyl Methanaminium Salts Provide Highly Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Andreas Züttel, Liping Zhong, Xiaoxin Gao

One of the leading approaches to enhancing the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) involves passivating the perovskite surface and grain boundaries with large ammonium salts. Here, we report the synthesis of furan-, thiophene-, and s ...

On-chip Germanium nanowires for hole spin qubits

Santhanu Panikar Ramanandan

The creation of a universal quantum computer that can solve complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers - the so-called "quantum supremacy" - is an open challenge. For this to become a reality, a large number of qubits should be integrated in ...

Self-interaction and transport of solvated electrons in molten salts

Federico Grasselli

The dynamics of (few) electrons dissolved in an ionic fluid-as when a small amount of metal is added to a solution while upholding its electronic insulation-manifests interesting properties that can be ascribed to nontrivial topological features of particl ...

Enabling full-scale grain boundary mitigation in polycrystalline perovskite solids

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Jingshan Luo, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Yuhang Liu, Lichen Zhao

There exists a considerable density of interaggregate grain boundaries (GBs) and intra-aggregate GBs in polycrystalline perovskites. Mitigation of intra- aggregate GBs is equally notable to that of interaggregate GBs as intra-aggregate GBs can also cause d ...
