However, A 3 B 2 X 9 perovskite materials derived from antimony and bismuth face several challenges, including excessively wide band gaps, elevated defect densities, and suboptimal film quality, all of which hinder advancements in device efficiency. While extensive studies have been undertaken to investigate the effects of modulating the A-site and X-site elements in lead-free A 3 B 2 X 9 perovskites, there remains a notable scarcity of reports addressing the impact of modifications to the B-site element. In this study, we investigated the alloying of antimony and bismuth within the 2D Cs 3 B 2 I 6 Br 3 perovskite. By systematically varying the ratios of two elements, we found that the incorporation of both antimony and bismuth at the B-site significantly enhances the quality of the perovskite films. Our findings indicate that a 1 : 1 ratio of antimony to bismuth produces the densest films, the highest photoluminescence intensity, and superior photovoltaic performance. Ultimately, the devices fabricated using this optimal ratio achieved an open-circuit voltage ( V OC ) of 1.01 V and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.645%.","PeriodicalId":17038,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Semiconductors","volume":"46 5","pages":"052803-052803"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147886498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, to address the structural instability of perovskites, we introduced a polymer additive, poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (PLL), into the perovskite precursor to promote perovskite crystal growth, thereby constructing a stable crystal structure. The results show that the introduction of PLL modulates the colloidal aggregation state in the precursor solution, provides longer time for growth of perovskite and successfully realizes the formation of large-sized perovskite films with high crystallinity. More importantly, owing to its hydrophobic long-chain structure and the widespread distribution of C=O and NH on the chain, PLL firmly locks the perovskite crystals, enhancing their structural stability while blocking the intrusion of external factors such as water molecules, significantly enhances the overall stability of the device. The results show that the PLL-based PSC has negligible hysteresis and its PCE is improved from 22.20% to 23.66%. while the PLL-modified perovskite films and devices demonstrate excellent thermal and environmental stability. These findings highlight PLL as a promising additive for optimizing perovskite crystallization, offering guidance for fabricating efficient and stable photovoltaic devices.","PeriodicalId":17038,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Semiconductors","volume":"46 5","pages":"052804-052804"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147911890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface post-treatment strategies have emerged as a viable approach to improve film quality and passivate defects. Although organic molecules can passivate both surfaces and grain boundaries via hydrogen or covalent bonding, their limited adsorption specificity often results in incomplete defect neutralization. In this work, we introduce a bilayer passivation approach employing phenethylammonium iodide (PEAI) and n-octylammonium iodide (OAI) to concurrently mitigate non-radiative recombination and improve stability. PEAI passivates undercoordinated Pb 2+ at grain boundaries and surfaces, effectively eliminating deep-level traps and suppressing non-radiative losses. Meanwhile, OAI forms a hydrophobic barrier on the perovskite surface through its long alkyl chains, inhibiting moisture penetration without compromising interfacial charge transport. As a result, the perovskite film exhibits significantly enhanced optoelectronic performance and environmental stability, achieving a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.48%.","PeriodicalId":17038,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Semiconductors","volume":"46 5","pages":"052805-052805"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147331918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monoclinic ZrO 2 (m-ZrO 2 ) has emerged as a promising gate dielectric material due to its suitable dielectric constant, wide band gap, ideal valence-band offset, and good thermodynamic stability. However, current deposition methods face compatibility issues with 2D semiconductors, highlighting the need for high-quality dielectrics and interfaces. Here, high-quality 2D m-ZrO 2 single crystals are successfully prepared using a one-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, aided by 5A molecular sieves for oxygen supply. The prepared ZrO 2 is utilized as a gate dielectric in the construction of MoS 2 field-effect transistors (FETs) to investigate its electrical property. The FETs exhibit a high carrier mobility of up to 5.50 cm 2 ·V −1 ·s −1 , and a current switching ratio ( I on/off ) of approximately 10 4 , which aligns with the current standards of logic circuits, indicating that ZrO 2 has application value as a gate dielectric.
