These materials are created from a few dozen building blocks that are driven to self-organize by covalent and non-covalent interactions. Biology’s building blocks can be repurposed for the design of synthetic materials that life has not explored. In this Review, we examine the bottom-up design, discovery and evolution of self-assembling peptides by considering the entire supramolecular interaction space available to their constituent amino acids. Our approach focuses on sequence context, or how peptide sequence and environmental conditions collectively influence peptide self-assembly outcomes. We discuss examples of peptides that assemble through multimodal backbone, side chain and water interactions. We conclude that a more systematic (comparing sequences side-by-side), integrated (pairing computation and experiment) and holistic (considering peptide, solvent and environment) approach is required to better understand and fully exploit amino acids as a universal assembly code. This goal is particularly timely, because laboratory automation and artificial intelligence now have the potential to accelerate discoveries in these highly modular and complex materials, beyond the limited sequence space that biology uses.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143618892","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}

It differentiates from the mere absence of defects, emphasizing on minimizing the influence of defects on minority carrier lifetimes. Whether defect tolerance is the only reason for the superiority of lead-halide-perovskite-based solution-processed solar cells is still controversial. However, the defect tolerance of various semiconductor structures and materials has been experimentally suggested and, in some cases, proven. In this Perspective, we explore defect tolerance across material science, defect characterization and computational modelling. With a primary focus on electrically or optically active defects, we systematically compare computational and experimental results from the literature. We aim to address the complexity arising from diverse theoretical approaches that have yielded partially contradictory results. Additionally, experimental findings have been subject to varied interpretations, ranging from defect signals to ion migration. We endeavour to chart a course through this intricacy and seek to establish a rigorous framework for the identification and quantitative assessment of defect tolerance. Semiconductors that are insensitive to defects hold considerable promise for advancing photovoltaics. This Perspective highlights the importance of combining theoretical predictions with experimental validation to identify viable non-toxic, earth-abundant and cost-effective alternatives to existing materials.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"10 4","pages":"311-325"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143506947","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}

The durability of the devices, however, lags far behind their performance. Their practical implementation implies the subjection of the material and devices to temperature cycles of varying intensity, driven by diurnal cycles or geographical characteristics. Thus, it is vital to develop devices that are resilient to temperature cycling. This Perspective analyses the behaviour of perovskite devices under temperature cycling. We discuss the crystallographic structural evolution of the perovskite layer, reactions and/or interactions among stacked layers, PV properties and photocatalysed thermal reactions. We highlight effective strategies for improving stability under temperature cycling, such as enhancing material crystallinity or relieving interlayer thermal stress using buffer layers. Additionally, we outline existing standards and protocols for temperature cycling testing and we propose a unified approach that could facilitate valuable cross-study comparisons among scientific and industrial research laboratories. Finally, we share our outlook on strategies to develop perovskite PV devices with exceptional real-world operating stability.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143443723","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}

They combine the advantages of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order, exhibiting time-reversal symmetry-breaking magneto responses, vanishing stray fields and high-frequency spin dynamics. Consequently, altermagnets hold great potential for various research fields, especially for developing spintronic devices such as high-density magnetic memories and terahertz nano-oscillators. Furthermore, altermagnetism is found in a broad spectrum of materials, including metals, semiconductors, insulators and superconductors, thereby stimulating widespread interest in functional material research. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of recent experimental progress in altermagnets, focusing particularly on observations of lifted spin degeneracy via spectroscopic techniques and the resultant spin transport phenomena. Additionally, we discuss future research directions in altermagnets, encompassing fields such as spintronics, magnonics, ultrafast photonics and phononics, and properties such as superconductivity, topology and multiferroicity.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143418402","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}
