When analysing state-of-the-art OPV materials, including polymer electron donors and small-molecule electron acceptors, the main prerequisites for high photovoltaic performance, including optoelectronic and morphological properties, are quite clear. However, low-cost materials, consisting of simpler building blocks with fewer chemical substitution positions, present challenges in simultaneously obtaining desirable optoelectronic and morphological properties. In this Review, we first summarize key factors in the molecular design of high-performance OPV materials. Subsequently, we discuss research progress and challenges faced in the molecular design of low-cost materials. Finally, we outline key thoughts and insights related to the molecular design of future low-cost OPV materials with a focus on efficiency and stability. The development of low-cost and high-performance organic photovoltaic materials is critical for the industrialization of organic photovoltaic technology.

However, as the usage of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) expands in modern technologies and ever more complex elements are incorporated, complicated degradation behaviours are introduced, posing challenges for recycling. Metallurgy-based material extraction methods are independent of the complexity of materials decay but at the cost of compromised economic and environmental sustainability. Although direct regeneration is expected to reduce the environmental impact of recycling and improve its economic benefits, it cannot properly deal with failure at different scales and parameters. To effectively manage the growing stream of spent LIBs, strategies on multiple fronts are imperative. Recent developments in recycling mechanisms have highlighted the importance of understanding battery failure mechanisms to achieve environmentally friendly and sustainable recycling practices. In this Review, failure mechanisms in state-of-the-art LIBs are discussed from the particle scale to the cell scale, offering insights for navigating recycling efforts. Recent advancements in material extraction and direct regeneration are summarized, and perspectives on the most pressing challenges for recycling, optimization of recycling processes, and recycling strategies for next-generation batteries are offered. Lithium-ion batteries suffer from complicated degradation behaviours, posing challenges for recycling.

In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of PV materials and technologies, including mechanisms that limit PV solar-cell and module efficiencies. First, we introduce the PV effect and efficiency losses within the framework of the Shockley–Queisser model for solar-to-electrical power conversion. However, all PV technologies fall short of these idealizations in various aspects, from incomplete sunlight absorption to the loss of photocurrent and photovoltage caused by the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers in the cells. Approaching the efficiency limits of PV technology requires material innovations and device designs that minimize these losses. Solar-cell research and development presents several solutions to these problems that are intimately related to the properties of the specific PV materials. To increase efficiencies beyond the Shockley–Queisser limit (around 33%) for a single junction, research has focused on producing multi-junction solar cells. Although these cells do provide higher efficiencies, there are differences in performance between individual cells and full modules in single-junction technologies when integrated into multi-junction configurations, highlighting the challenges in moving from laboratory experiments to commercial products. Photovoltaics is an essential technology for achieving a carbon-neutral society. This Review compares the state of the art of photovoltaic materials and technologies, detailing efficiency limitations and the innovations needed to overcome them.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"10 5","pages":"335-354"},"PeriodicalIF":86.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143660704","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}

Modern volumetric 3D printing methods are overcoming many challenges inherent to conventional layer-by-layer approaches, the standard in research and industry for the past 40 years. This Review focuses on identifying upcoming challenges and research directions in materials chemistry and process engineering to move volumetric 3D printing from its infancy to its broader adoption. Recent advances include the development of techniques based on optical tomography, light and acoustic holography, xolography, multiwavelength and upconversion-mediated printing, as well as the introduction of materials with custom-designed properties.
