Alcohol-dispersed polymer complex as an effective and durable interface modifier for n-i-p perovskite solar cells

Abundant interfacial defects remain a significant challenge that hampers both the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Herein,an alcohol-dispersed conducting polymer complex,denoted as PEDOT:F(Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):Perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomers),is introduced into the interface between perovskite and hole transporting layer in regular-structured PSCs.PEDOT:F serves as a multi-functional interface layer(filling grain boundaries and covering perovskite's grain-surface)to achieve a robust interaction with organic groups within perovskites,which could induce a structural transformation of PEDOT to increase its conductivity for the efficient hole-transport.Furthermore,the strong interaction between PEDOT and perovskites could promote an effective coupling of undercoordinated Pb~(2+)ions with the lone electron pairs near O&S atoms in PEDOT molecules,thereby enhancing defect passivation.Additionally,PEDOT:F with inherent hydrophobic properties prevents effectively moisture invasion into perovskites for the improved long-term stability of the PSCs.Consequently,the PEDOT:F-based PSCs achieved a champion efficiency of 24.81%,and maintained ca.92%of their initial efficiency after 7680 h of storage in a dry air environment,accompanied by the enhanced photothermal stability.

Synthesis and characterization of yttrium-aluminum-iron and yttrium-cerium-iron citric complexes

Fe-, Y-Fe-Al- and Y-Ce-Fe- citrates were synthesized in ethylene glycol （EG） medium under conditions similar to those used in the polymerized complex method. Their elemental composition, IR,^ 13C and ^1H NMR, X-ray photoelectron and Mossbauer spectra were studied, and formulae describing their composition were proposed. The complexes contained EG bonded as adduct and ester with citric acid ligand and did not contain ligands with deprotonated alcoholic groups. The complexes consisted of agglomerated spheres, 0.7-3 μm in diameter. The local composition of the products was established by energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The comparison of the number of the ligands, their average electrical charge and the esterification degree of mono-, di- and trimetallic complexes proved the mixed-metal nature of the species studied. The thermal decomposition of the complexes was studied and a general scheme of the processes taking place was proposed. Highly crystalline, phase homogeneous YaFe4AlO12 was produced after heating the respective complex at 1000 ℃. Ce-doped yttrium-iron garnet, similarly prepared, contained traces of CeO2.

Comparative Studies of Some Novel Cu(II) Polymeric Complexes Derived from Cyanoacetylhydrazine (CAH;L). The Role of Solvents Used on the Structure and Geometry of the Isolated Cu²⁺Complexes

Novel polymeric Cu2+ complexes derived from the reaction of cyanoacetylhydrazine (CAH;L) with CuCl2•2H2O in different solvents were synthesized and characterized. The isolated solid polymeric complexes were investigated using modern conventional physicochemical and spectral (IR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis. ESR, Raman), magnetic and thermal studies. The results revealed that CAH behaves in different ways towards the coordination of the Cu2+ ion. The promotion of solvents to the cyano group was discussed on the basis of the solvent and the Cu2+ ion used. Magnetic and spectral studies suggest octahedral geometry is proposed for the Cu2+ complexes. EPR studies indicate the existence of polymeric complexes depending on the results of g-values. The results suggest that the number of copper atoms ranges from three to twelve atoms. The molecular modeling is drawn and some chemical characteristics are calculated such as chemical reactivity and energy components are investigated between the different types of the ligands.
