Functional polymer materials containing heavy group‐14 elements focusing on germanium and tin

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The synthesis, functions, and applications of the polymers containing heavy group 14 elements focusing on germanium and tin are outlined. Owing to their large atomic radii and weak binding energies, the polymers show unique properties: chromism, luminescence, carrier mobility, and reactivity to produce radials and higher coordinated states.

Fast and Simple Series Resistance Imaging for Tandem Solar Cells Using Differential Luminescence

Solar RRL, EarlyView.
This article presents a method for imaging the series resistance of subcells in a multijunction device. It requires few input properties, no current or voltage calibration and only three measured images. Validated on single junction and multijunction perovskite‐based devices, this method provides a practical tool for advancing photovoltaic research and

What Is a Polyolefin? A Critical Overview of Ethylene Copolymers Used as Solar Photovoltaic Module Encapsulants

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 367-395, April 2026.
Polyolefin encapsulants are gaining dominance in PV modules, yet confusion persists around PO, POE, and TPO definitions. This study clarifies terminology, reviews materials, and properties and proposes a taxonomy to improve understanding, communication, and reliability in solar module manufacturing.

Scalable Growth and Properties of (AlxGa1−x)2O3 Thin Films on 2‐ and 4‐Inch Sapphire via Close‐Coupled Showerhead MOCVD

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 6, 20 March 2026.
(AlxGa1−x)2O3 thin films are grown by Close‐Coupled Showerhead metalorganic chemical vapour deposition to investigate aluminium incorporation, growth kinetics and optical behaviour on c‐plane sapphire. The study reveals near‐ideal alloying, composition‐dependent growth rates and tuneable bandgaps.

Indium‐Free Recombination Junctions on Tunnel Oxide Passivating Contacts for Fully Textured Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

Solar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 5, 12 March 2026.
We compare aluminum‐doped zinc oxide (AZO) and zinc‐doped tin oxide (ZTO) with indium tin oxide (ITO) as indium‐free transparent conductive recombination layers on textured TOPCon bottom cells for application in perovskite/silicon tandem devices. Sputter damage, passivation recovery, as well as optoelectrical material properties are studied.

Removing Homocoupling Defects in Alkoxy/Alkyl‐PBTTT Enhances Polymer:Fullerene Co‐Crystal Formation and Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...
