- Owing to its nice performance, low cost, and simple solution-processing, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cell (PSC) becomes a promising candidate for next-generation high-efficiency solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) has boosted from 3.8% to 25.2% over the past ten years. Despite the rapid progress in PCE, the device stability is a key issue that impedes the commercialization of PSCs. Recently, all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites have attracted much attention due to their better stability compared with their organic-inorganic counterpart. In this progress report, we summarize the properties of CsPb(IxBr1-x)(3) and their applications in solar cells. The current challenges and corresponding solutions are discussed. Finally, we share our perspectives on CsPb(IxBr1-x)(3) solar cells and outline possible directions to further improve the device performance. (C) 2019 Science China Press.

- Understanding defects is of paramount importance for the development of stable halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, isolating their distinctive effects on device efficiency and stability is currently a challenge. We report that adding the organic molecule 3-phosphonopropionic acid (H3pp) to the halide perovskite results in unchanged overall optoelectronic performance while having a tremendous effect on device stability. We obtained PSCs with similar to 21% efficiency that retain similar to 100% of the initial efficiency after 1,000 h at the maximum power point under simulated AM1.5G illumination. The strong interaction between the perovskite and the H3pp molecule through two types of hydrogen bonds (H center dot center dot center dot I and O center dot center dot center dot H) leads to shallow point defect passivation that has a significant effect on device stability but not on the non-radiative recombination and device efficiency. We expect that our work will have important implications for the current understanding and advancement of operational PSCs.

- The new ternary alkali metal copper chalcogenide KCu4Se8 nanowires with average length of 30 mu m are synthesized using a modified composite-hydroxide mediated (M-CHM) approach. The prepared KCu4Se8 is characterized by XRD, EDS, FESEM and TEM analysis. The structure is determined by the newly developed Rotation Electron Diffraction technique. It is identified to be a body center tetragonal phase. The prepared KCu4Se8 is used to fabricate solid-state supercapacitors in which the thin film of the electrodes are made with pressure of 0 MPa, 5 MPa and 10 MPa, and their electrochemical properties are tested. It is found that 0 MPa supercapacitor displays best electrochemical performance and the specific capacitance of 25.3 F g(-1) is obtained at the scan rate of 5 mV s(-1). It also shows good long-term cycle property by recording 5000 cycles of galvanostatic charge/discharge operation. The specific capacitance can be enhanced to 93.7 F g(-1) at the scan rate of 5 mV s(-1) by coating 0.1 mg V2O5 nanowire on 0 MPa KCu4Se8 electrode.

- Photovoltaics is amongst the most important technologies for renewable energy sources, and plays a key role in the development of a society with a smaller environmental footprint. Key parameters for solar cells are their energy conversion efficiency, their operating lifetime, and the cost of the energy obtained from a photovoltaic system compared to other sources. The optimization of these aspects involves the exploitation of new materials and development of novel solar cell concepts and designs. Both theoretical modeling and characterization of such devices require a comprehensive view including all scales from the atomic to the macroscopic and industrial scale. The different length scales of the electronic and optical degrees of freedoms specifically lead to an intrinsic need for multiscale simulation, which is accentuated in many advanced photovoltaics concepts including nanostructured regions. Therefore, multiscale modeling has found particular interest in the photovoltaics community, as a tool to advance the field beyond its current limits. In this article, we review the field of multiscale techniques applied to photovoltaics, and we discuss opportunities and remaining challenges.
