Unveiling a Near‐Total Rear Passivation for High Performance of Ultra‐Thin ACIGS
Ultra‐thin solar cells of (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 (ACIGS) suffer from rear interface recombination, limiting their performance. To tackle it, a full coverage plasma enhanced chemically vapor‐deposited 8 nm porous SiOx passivation layer was implemented and evaluated. It is shown that a combination of the near‐complete passivation from silica and the formation

An asymmetric sulfonate solvent forms thermally stable interphases and demonstrates non‐flammability, suppressing heat accumulation for safer, high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries. ABSTRACT An asymmetric sulfonate‐based linear solvent, 2,2,2‐trifluoromethyl mesylate (FMS), is designed and used as the primary solvent in liquid electrolytes to enhance ...

Advances in Se Wide‐Bandgap Photovoltaics and TexSe1‐x SWIR Photodiodes
In this review, fundamental properties and current challenges in Se photovoltaics (PVs) for tandem and indoor PVs and TexSe1‐x alloys for short wave infrared photodiodes are discussed. A case is made for the practicality of elemental chalcogenide optoelectronics, and a pathway toward resolving the key challenges in these respective technologies is ...

Electrocatalytic C─C Bond Formation Via Cyanide Interception of CO2 Reduction Intermediates
ABSTRACT Electrochemical CO2 reduction offers a sustainable route to convert greenhouse gas into high‐value‐added chemicals, yet product distributions remain largely limited to simple C1‐C3 molecules. Here, we report a new reaction in which CO2 reduction intermediates undergo direct C‐C coupling with an external carbon nucleophile under electrochemical
