Unveiling the Influence of Annealing Temperature on Properties of CZTSSe Nanocrystals

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 4, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The burgeoning interest in kesterite materials stems from their promising applications in both charge‐selective materials and photocathodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Kesterites, a complex class of semiconductors, typically contain copper, zinc, tin, and either sulfur or selenium atoms.

Infrared Photovoltaic–Battery Hybrid Systems Enabled by Colloidal Quantum Dots

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 20, Issue 21, November 3, 2025.
Photovoltaic–battery (PV/B) hybrid systems are key for sustainable energy but face cost and efficiency limits. Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) enable low‐cost near‐infrared light harvesting, surpassing silicon and III–V PVs. This review analyzes CQD properties, their roles in NIR PVs and batteries, and synthesizes current research to highlight progress ...

Robust Passivation of Perovskite Using Rubidium Iodide for Efficient Photovoltaic Applications under Various Illumination Environments

Small Structures, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
A robust defect passivation strategy for perovskite films using rubidium iodide (RbI) is reported. The RbI treatment simultaneously mitigates defects across the buried interface, within the bulk, and on the surface of perovskite films. This enhances crystallinity, suppresses ion migration, and reduces phase segregation.
