Under normal operation, solar cells are subject to a complex combination of stressors, such as visible light, ultraviolet light, heat, humidity, mechanical stress and electric potential, which complicates the understanding of failure mechanisms. Existing stress tests do not act as a time machine. In new materials systems such as perovskite photovoltaics, the tests have no known relationship to field service. In this Perspective we recommend following a durability learning cycle that interleaves photovoltaic module engineering with field testing; accelerated testing; and preconditioning and performance engineering. We advocate for field testing to demonstrate real-world performance and identify field-relevant failure modes, and urge the community to develop accelerated and qualification tests that account for device metastability, variations in material composition and different/various processing methods. These practices are more difficult, but more important, than the simple pursuit of higher initial efficiencies. Perovskite photovoltaics have achieved high power conversion efficiencies, yet their durability remains to be proven. This Perspective presents a number of approaches with a view to addressing durability challenges.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 8","pages":"934-940"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing PEM electrolysers that can withstand lower-purity water could minimize water pretreatment, lower maintenance costs and extend system lifetime. In this context, we have developed a microenvironment pH-regulated PEM electrolyser that can operate steadily in impure (‘tap’) water for more than 3,000 h at a current density of 1.0 A cm−2, maintaining a performance that is comparable to state-of-the-art PEM electrolysers that use pure water. Using a technique that combines a pH ultramicroelectrode with scanning electrochemical microscopy, we monitored the local pH conditions in a PEM electrolyser in situ, finding that Brønsted acid oxides can lower the local pH. We thus introduced a Brønsted acid oxide, MoO3−x, onto a Pt/C cathode to create a strongly acidic microenvironment that boosts the kinetics of hydrogen production, inhibits deposition/precipitation on the cathode and suppresses the degradation of the membrane. Ultrapure water is usually used as a feedstock for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers because trace contaminants can cause failure. Here the authors show that PEM electrolysers can run on impure tap water when Brønsted acid oxides are used at the cathode to create a strongly acidic microenvironment.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 7","pages":"880-889"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144238008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we develop a charge carrier management strategy using a textured fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate as the front contact to enhance light scattering and maximize charge generation. To overcome voids and shunt paths introduced by the textured surface, we insert a SnO2 layer by atomic layer deposition at the textured fluorine-doped tin oxide/CdS interface. This results in a conformal deposition of CdS and an optimal bandgap profile in the Sb2(S,Se)3 absorber, which improves charge transport and lowers charge recombination at the interface and in the bulk, respectively. We achieve a certified efficiency of 10.70% sodium selenosulfate-based Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells with excellent stability. We prove the generality of the method demonstrating selenourea-based Sb2(S,Se)3 and upscaling the solar cells to 1 cm2. The results represent a step forward in the development of antimony-based solar cells.

However, its reproducibility and universal applicability have not been fully explored, limiting large-scale production. Here we introduce a passivation strategy based on fluorinated isopropanol for full passivation of surface defects with only a thin layer of low-dimensional perovskite, which does not interfere with charge transport. Fluorinated isopropanol reduces the reactivity of passivator molecules with the perovskite and allows the use of high passivator concentrations, ensuring complete defect passivation. A subsequent rinse with a solvent mixture of fluorinated isopropanol and isopropanol removes the excess passivator molecule. We demonstrate that the strategy has a broad processing window with high tolerance for deviations to the passivator concentration and is applicable to various device architectures, perovskite compositions and device areas. This method results in high power conversion efficiencies and has the potential to improve scalability and production yields in industrial manufacturing. The passivation of surface defects is critical in perovskite photovoltaics yet challenging to implement in practice. Wang et al. show that fluorinated isopropanol allows the use of a high concentration of passivator molecules, ensuring the complete passivation of defects.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 9","pages":"1074-1083"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144238007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the prevalence of misinformation about EVs, predictors of misinformation endorsement and two potential interventions for reducing its impact. Surveys across four countries (Studies 1 and 2, N = 6,341) revealed that more respondents agreed with misinformation statements about EVs than disagreed with them. Conspiracy mentality emerged as the strongest predictor of such beliefs, whereas education played no role. In Study 3 (N = 1,500) we tested two interventions—a fact sheet and dialogues with artificial intelligence (ChatGPT)—for reducing belief in misinformation and increasing pro-EV policy support and purchase intentions. Both strategies showed modest effectiveness immediately post-intervention, and positive effects on misinformation beliefs remained significant at a 10-day follow-up. Our results highlight the prevalence of EV misinformation, the role of mistrust in shaping it and the potential for conventional and novel informational strategies to reduce it. Across four countries, more people agree with misinformation statements about electic vehicles than disagree with them, and conspiracist mentality is the strongest predictor of this agreement. Interactions with artificial intelligence show promise in reducing misinformation agreement.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 7","pages":"869-879"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144238002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a greater understanding is needed of how the spatio-temporal mismatch between renewable generation and chemical load patterns may impact on power system emissions and security. Here we assess different electrification pathways across 22 Chinese provinces from 2020 to 2050. Using 2020 data, we show that reliance on grid electricity offsets CO2 reductions by increasing power system emissions, raising national emissions by 1%. Integrating co-located renewables without self-balancing flexibility exacerbates power system security risks, potentially increasing balancing requirements by 9%. To address this challenge, we propose the ‘Green Flexible Chemical Electrification’ pathway, transitioning from requirements for stringent co-located renewables to rigid temporal self flexibility. By 2030, Green Flexible Chemical Electrification demonstrates cost competitiveness nationwide, with green ammonia potentially generating 2 billion RMB in profit. Additionally, redesigning electricity pricing to incentivize chemical-side demand management further enhances power–chemical synergies. Electrification is a promising way to decarbonize the chemical industry but could also have important effects on power systems. Here the authors assess the impact of electrifying the production of methanol and ammonia on the Chinese power system in terms of emissions and potential security risks.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 6","pages":"762-773"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
