Recent Advances in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ubiquitous defects predominately account for photo‐instability and open‐circuit voltage losses in wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs). This review comprehensively presents the underlying impact mechanisms, summarizes the advanced optimization strategies across various functional layers and their interfaces to develop efficient and stable WBG

Spectrally Engineered Coatings for Steering the Solar Photons

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Spectrum‐splitting energy synergy: a spectrally engineered radiative cooling (RC) coating with photoluminescence is integrated with bifacial photovoltaic (biPV) panels to construct a hybrid biPV‐RC system. By controlling solar photon conversion pathways and guiding light transport, the system enables synergistic power generation and daytime radiative ...
