DFT Modeling and Impedance Spectroscopy Analysis of a High Performance Zirconia‐Based Solar Cell
p‐SnS/n‐CdS heterojunction solar cells with Al‐ZnO/i‐ZnO window layers simulated using SCAPS‐1D and impedance spectroscopy enabled tracking of solar cell parameters. The optimal performance (η = 22.76%, Voc = 0.77 V) was achieved with a 5 µm SnS absorber at Rs = 1Ω.cm−2 and Rsh = 10 kΩ.cm−2.

Epitaxy and Phase Stability of 2D Hexagonal Gallium Telluride on Silicon
Two‐stage amorphization as a function of annealing temperature of continuous, strain‐free, high‐crystalline‐quality 2D hexagonal gallium telluride on silicon obtained by van der Waals epitaxy. Controlling crystal quality during epitaxial growth is essential for the advancement of novel materials with industrial relevance.

Substitutional Sulfur and Its Vibrational Fingerprints in Sb2Se3
The microscopic configurations of sulfur incorporated into the Sb2$_2$Se3$_3$ lattice are studied by combining infrared absorption spectroscopy with density functional theory. Substitutional SSe$_{\mathrm{Se}}$ defects are identified as the origin of four distinct sulfur‐related local vibrational modes at 249, 273, 283, and 312 cm−1$^{-1}$.

Carbon‐Insertion‐Engineered WS2 Hierarchical Heterostructure Enabling Superior Sodium‐Ion Storage
ABSTRACT Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is considered a promising anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, its practical application is hindered by poor electrical conductivity, large volume changes during cycling, and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics, which lead to unsatisfactory electrochemical performance.
