In recent years, solution-based organic solar cells (OSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated great potential. However, achieving reliable stability and commercially competitive device efficiency remains a great challenge. Specifically, although Sn-based narrow bandgap perovskites have shown significant advancements, the stability development for wide bandgap perovskites remains more promising, indicating its advantage for UV applications. Meanwhile, OSCs have made good progress in catching up with the PSC's device efficiency. However, most organic photoabsorbers demonstrate intrinsic photo-degradation from UV exposure while having excellent stability for near-infrared (NIR) applications. Imperatively, constructing perovskite-organic tandems is anticipated to bear synergistic benefits for long-term operation stability, in addition to higher device efficiency. On the other hand, this notion remains primarily theoretical. Accordingly, there is a rapid evolution of material designs and device engineering strategies, extending the limits of both organic and perovskite absorbers. Likewise, novel ideas for intermediate layers, i.e., constructing the interconnecting layer to join perovskites and organic subcells, are emerging.

Under ambient conditions, water nanofilms are expected to form at these interfaces, but these are rarely accounted for in simulations. Using molecular dynamics simulations, it is shown that water nanofilms at the hydroxylated hematite/poly-α-olefin (PAO) interface significantly affect wettability and thermal transport. Including water nanofilms improves agreement with experimental work of adhesion, which cannot be replicated with anhydrous systems using realistic solid–liquid interactions. For water films thicker than one monolayer, interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) converges to a consistent value, independent of solid–liquid interaction strength. This value is dominated by the ITR at the water/PAO interface. The ITR at the water/PAO interface is dependent on the surface area between the water film and the PAO and the magnitude of the interfacial potential. These simulations provide a more precise estimate of ITR at the hematite/PAO interface by accounting for surface hydration expected in experiments under ambient conditions.
