Dry‑Contact Trimming for All‑Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells via Solid‑Solution Homogenization

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Narrow‐bandgap Sn–Pb perovskites are promising bottom absorbers for all‐perovskite tandems but suffer from Sn‐rich surfaces and depth‐dependent lattice/compositional inhomogeneity. Layered‐perovskite‐assisted dry‐contact trimming removes Sn‐rich surface species and reconfigures the Sn–Pb absorber, enabling efficient charge collection, reduced voltage ...

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Deciphering Polarity Effects of Polymer to Regulate Li+ Ionic Environment in Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
We elucidate the fundamental influences of polymer polarity on Li+ ionic environments in solid polymer electrolytes by considering four critical components: Li+, FSI−, residual solvents, and polymer matrix. Beyond facilitating LiFSI dissociation and Li+ transport, our findings underscore previously overlooked roles of polymer polarity, thereby ...
