High Light Utilization and Color Rendering in Vacuum‐Deposited Semitransparent Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, low bandgap (≈1.55 eV) semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST‐PSCs) having thin (thickness < ≈100 nm) perovskite layers and transparent conductive oxide‐based rear electrodes are fabricated using vacuum‐deposition methods. Two different ST‐PSCs demonstrated a high light utilization efficiency value of 4.2 (PCE: 9.26% and AVT: 45.3 ...

Spike‐Type Band Alignment via in2Se3/CuI Charge‐Transport Engineering Enables 26% Efficient Lead‐Free RbSn0.5Ge0.5I3 Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A lead‐free and Cd‐free RbSn₀.5Ge₀.5I3 perovskite solar cell is optimized through In2Se3/CuI charge‐transport engineering using SCAPS‐1D. Spike‐type band alignment suppresses interfacial recombination, enhances charge extraction, and achieves a power conversion efficiency of 26.01%, providing an effective strategy for high‐performance and ...

Valuation of tourists’ willingness to pay for ecological conservation towards a sustainable financial mechanism for national parks: an empirical case of Cuc Phuong National Park, Red River delta, Vietnam

Environmental Research Communications
National Parks (NPs) play an important role in preserving the ecological values of nature, while also bringing economic benefits to the community. However, current NPs in developing countries are facing the challenge of lacking financial resources for ...

Revisiting assessments of ecosystem drought recovery

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
The time taken for ecosystems to recover from drought (drought recovery time) is critically important for the ecosystem state. However, recent literature presents contradictory conclusions on this feature: one study concludes that drought recovery time ...

Local Climate Zone in Xi’an City: A Novel Classification Approach Employing Spatial Indicators and Supervised Classification

Buildings, 2023
The Local Climate Zone (LCZ), as a foundational element of urban climate zone classification proposed by Oke and Stewart, categorizes urban surface types based on 10 influential parameters affecting the urban heat island effect, such as building density,

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Long‐Term Ambient Benzene Exposure and Brain Disorders Among Urban Adults: Effect Modification by Genetic Susceptibility and Potential Mediation by Plasma Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low‐level ambient benzene exposure is associated with increased risks of multiple brain disorders in urban adults. Genetic susceptibility modifies these associations, while plasma proteomics points to potential biological pathways linking benzene exposure to adverse brain health.
