In this review, to provide a more detailed and systematic overview of the development of PICs, the attention is focused on the following full eight key sections: i) development history, ii) defining equations, iii) energy storage mechanism, iv) device configuration, v) electrode materials, vi) electrolyte design, vii) key technologies, and viii) future...

A novel acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) type naphthalenediimide supramolecule (SA-NDI) is successfully designed and constructed. The catalyst performs fast charge separation so that the internal electron quickly migrates to the acceptor for H2O2 production. Therefore, SA-NDI shows a superior solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 1.03% under simulated...

Surface passivation using bulky chloride cations helps to increase the open-circuit voltage (Voc) in semi-transparent bifacial fully bromide FAPbBr3 perovskite solar cell (PSC) reaching values up to 1.73V. Up-scaling process is demonstrated paves the way for application in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and internet of thing (IoT) fields....

By integrating α-Fe2O3 and g-C3N4 with embedded Ni-CoP co-catalyst, a hybrid photoanode with significantly higher photocurrent is achieved. g-C3N4 crucially enhances charge separation, facilitates hole transfer, and shuttles photoinduced holes to the Ni-CoP catalyst. The hybrid structure of photoanode is very effective at increasing both the hole...

The design of 3D structured lithium metal anodes plays a key role in achieving high performance lithium metal batteries. This review summarizes the main advances in achieving “bottom–up” lithium deposition, including advances in gradient host design and other less investigated methods. Lastly, current challenges and perspectives are discussed. ...

A good double-layered hole transporting layer (HTL) is made by combining a poor SnO HTL and amphiphilic polymer PDTON as a Co-HTL, cross-linker, passivator, and surface modification agent. Tin-perovskite solar module based on the double-layered HTL with an active area of 25.2 cm2 achieves the efficiency of 10% is reported for the first time. ...
