The development of kesterite photovoltaic modules has long been hindered by low efficiencies and poor reproducibility. Researchers have now developed a solution-processing approach to achieve uniform and phase-pure kesterite films, enabling the fabrication of large-area modules with 10.1% efficiency.

In the carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction reaction, catalysts determine, to a large extent, the system’s product selectivity, energy efficiency and stability. Conventionally, catalysts are prepared and optimized ex situ before the reaction, but they often suffer from low stability due to intrinsic structural changes during the reaction. Here we demonstrate a recoverable operation strategy for selective and stable electroreduction of CO2 to methane. In this approach, active catalysts are formed and fully reset in situ during CO2 electroreduction reaction. By stabilizing catalyst precursors and controlling the formation and removal of the catalysts, we demonstrate an over 500-hour CO2-to-methane conversion with a Faradaic efficiency of over 60% at the reduction current density of above 0.2 A cm−2 and full-cell voltage of below 4.0 V. We further showcase benefits of the recoverable operation for potential integration with intermittent renewable power supply, contributing to more than 100 days with day-on and night-off operation. Electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction are typically prepared and optimized ex situ before the reaction begins, but during reactions they may undergo changes that lower their performance. Here the authors show that active Cu catalysts can be formed on a recoverable basis and removed in situ during the CO2 reduction reaction, improving the stability of the system.
在二氧化碳(CO2)电还原反应中,催化剂在很大程度上决定了体系的产物选择性、能效和稳定性。传统上,催化剂是在反应前原位制备和优化的,但由于反应过程中固有结构的变化,催化剂的稳定性往往较低。在这里,我们展示了一种选择性和稳定的CO2电还原成甲烷的可回收操作策略。在这种方法中,活性催化剂在CO2电还原反应中形成并在原位完全复位。通过稳定催化剂前驱体并控制催化剂的形成和去除,我们证明了在还原电流密度高于0.2 a cm - 2和满电池电压低于4.0 V的情况下,co2到甲烷的转化时间超过500小时,法拉第效率超过60%。我们进一步展示了可恢复运行与间歇性可再生能源供应的潜在整合的好处,贡献了超过100天的昼夜交替运行。用于二氧化碳还原的电催化剂通常在反应开始前制备和优化,但在反应过程中,它们可能会发生变化,从而降低其性能。在CO2还原反应中,活性Cu催化剂可以在可回收的基础上形成并在原位去除,从而提高了体系的稳定性。

In perovskite solar cells, the conventional n–i–p structure employing spiro-MeOTAD as a p-type hole transport layer suffers from poor thermal stability. Now, a non-volatile solid-state additive, 4-(N-carbazolyl)pyridine, is introduced to improve the thermal stability of spiro-MeOTAD and enable solar cells to perform more reliably under harsh conditions.

Integrating CO2 capture and electrochemical conversion may lower energy consumption relative to the separated processes, but scale-up is limited by low carbon conversion and energy-intensive solvent regeneration. Now, research shows that piperazine, alongside a Ni single-atom catalyst, allows effective, stable CO2 capture, and conversion to CO in a low-energy process.

High-voltage solid-state sodium batteries often fail at the cathode–electrolyte interface due to side reactions. An isotropic metal–organic framework epilayer that conformally coats the cathode particles helps prevent side reactions, enabling stable cycling at an unusually high cutoff voltage of 4.2 V (vs Na/Na+), exceeding the typical ~3.9 V (vs Na/Na+) limit for polyethylene oxide-based sodium cells.

Formamidinium and caesium metal halide perovskites enable high efficiency in inverted perovskite solar cells, but uncontrolled crystallization limits their performance. Here we regulate the nucleation and growth of the perovskite through aromatic interactions between naphthalene ammonium salts and naphthalenesulfonates. The ammonium groups of the naphthalene ammonium salts occupy the formamidinium site, while the sulfonate groups of the naphthalenesulfonates coordinate with lead ions. Their naphthalene moieties form tight aromatic stacking adjacent to the [PbI6]4− octahedra. These interactions promote ordered out-of-plane crystallization along the (100) plane, enhancing defect passivation and carrier transport. We achieve a power conversion efficiency of 27.02% (certified 26.88%) for inverted solar cells. Encapsulated devices retain 98.2% of their initial efficiency after 2,000 h of maximum power point tracking under continuous illumination in ambient air. Furthermore, we demonstrate a certified steady-state efficiency of 23.18% for inverted mini-modules with an aperture area of 11.09 cm2 and a certified efficiency of 29.07% for all-perovskite tandem solar cells. Uncontrolled crystallization of perovskite limits the performance of solar cells. Zhou et al. address this through aromatic interactions between naphthalene ammonium salts and naphthalenesulfonates, achieving improved efficiency in cells and modules.

Ion solvating membranes based on polybenzimidazole (PBI) are alternatives to diaphragms in alkaline water electrolysers but can typically only operate with electrolyte concentrations of 15–30 wt% KOH. Sulfonation of the membrane broadens the operational range to 0.1 wt%–30 wt%; however, the swelling of sulfonated para-PBI means that crosslinkers are needed, complicating membrane fabrication and decreasing alkaline stability. Here we report a non-crosslinked PBI membrane with a 50% degree of sulfonation that shows a high room temperature conductivity in 1 M KOH of 135 mS cm−1. We did not observe degradation in a 6-month alkaline stability test at 80 °C. Using this membrane in an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyser, we report a current density of 4.8 A cm−2 at 2 V (3 M KOH at 80 °C; Pt and NiFe electrode catalysts); the H2 crossover to the O2 side remained <2%. Using non-platinum group metal electrodes and a polyphenylene sulfide-reinforced membrane, a cell operated for >1,000 h without failure. KOH-doped membranes, so-called ion-solvating membranes (ISMs), have been used in alkaline water electrolysers but face challenges with stability and narrow operational windows. Here a non-crosslinked, partially sulfonated polybenzimidazole ISM with enhanced conductivity and stability is reported, achieving high current densities and prolonged operation.
基于聚苯并咪唑(PBI)的离子溶剂化膜是碱水电解槽隔膜的替代品,但通常只能在电解质浓度为15-30 wt% KOH的情况下工作。膜的磺化将操作范围扩大到0.1 wt% -30 wt%;然而,磺化的para-PBI膨胀意味着需要交联剂,使膜制作复杂化,降低了碱性稳定性。在这里,我们报道了一种磺化度为50%的非交联PBI膜,在1 M KOH下,其室温电导率为135 mS cm−1。在80°C下进行的为期6个月的碱性稳定性试验中,我们没有观察到降解。在阴离子交换膜中使用该膜,我们报道了在2 V (3 M KOH, 80°C, Pt和NiFe电极催化剂)下电流密度为4.8 a cm−2;H2向O2侧的交叉保持了2%。使用非铂族金属电极和聚苯硫醚增强膜,电池运行1000小时无故障。氢氧化钾掺杂膜,即所谓的离子溶剂化膜(ISMs),已被用于碱性水电解槽,但面临稳定性和窄操作窗口的挑战。本文报道了一种非交联、部分磺化的多苯并咪唑ISM,具有增强的电导率和稳定性,实现了高电流密度和长时间的操作。
