However, the toxicity and instability of conventional lead-based halide perovskites have prompted a shift toward sustainable alternatives. In this study, we investigate La<sub>0</sub>.<sub>6</sub>Ce<sub>0</sub>.<sub>4</sub>Mn<sub>0</sub>.<sub>9</sub>Cd<sub>0</sub>.<sub>1</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (LCMCO), a novel lead-free oxide-based perovskite, as a potential absorber for single-junction PSCs. The incorporation of Mn and Cd enables favourable optoelectronic properties, with an estimated bandgap of ∼1.65  eV, suitable for visible light absorption. LCMCO exhibits structural robustness and temperature-dependent electrical performance, reinforcing its promise for green energy applications. A detailed numerical analysis using SCAPS-1D was performed to evaluate device performance, employing TiO<sub>2</sub> and NiO as non-toxic, energy-aligned ETL and HTL, respectively. Device parameters such as absorber thickness, doping level, interface defect density, and series/shunt resistance were systematically optimized. Simulations indicate a power conversion efficiency of up to ∼28 %, validating LCMCO’s potential as a viable, eco-friendly alternative to toxic perovskites. To enhance the analysis, a machine learning (ML) model was developed to predict the performance metrics of the LCMCO-based device, achieving a high accuracy of ∼97.75 %. The integration of ML underscores its effectiveness in accelerating material optimization and performance forecasting in solar cell research. This work highlights LCMCO as a promising candidate for sustainable, high-efficiency photovoltaic technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18233,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering: B","volume":"323 ","pages":"Article 118796"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145098717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, microneedle-like NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> were in situ decorated on hierarchically conductive carbonized wood (CW) scaffolds. NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CW demonstrates exceptional acidic OER performance in 0.5 M H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, achieving 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> at a remarkably low overpotential of 270 mV and exhibiting fast kinetics (Tafel slope: 84 mV dec<sup>-1</sup>). Furthermore, NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CW maintains its activity for 45 h under harsh acidic conditions. This superior performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of microneedle-like NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and hierarchical carbonized wood support. Ni doping enhanced the intrinsic activity of NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> by modulating its electronic properties, while the hierarchical CW scaffold facilitated mass transport and gas release. This biomass-driven strategy offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for developing durable catalysts for acidic water electrolysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18233,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering: B","volume":"323 ","pages":"Article 118794"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145044869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
