This must be ensured or at least supported by legal measures to maximize the full sustainability potential. Thus, in recent years, regulations have been created to ensure sustainable PtX production on the one hand and to promote the use of PtX products on the other. The diversity and complexity of these regulations, differing in their scope of application, the applied instruments, and the respective sustainability requirements, among other things, create potential hurdles for PtX projects and complicate determining the respective influence on technical, economic, and environmental aspects. This review aims to summarize, classify, and assess current sustainability regulations and to evaluate the impact on potential PtX projects. The paper underscores the significance of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII) as the blueprint or reference for the legal regulations within the EU member states as well as the respective certification schemes and incentive and support schemes. The impact of sustainability criteria (power supply and GHG threshold) on PtX projects is analyzed and discussed, highlighting the importance of the electricity provision concept and sustainable carbon supply.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165345","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 report that by confining single-site Pt with enriched asymmetric π electrons on a monolayer graphene encapsulating CoNi nanoalloy, a highly active and durable Pt site is constructed, which delivers an unprecedented mass activity. Assembled PEMWE using this catalyst achieves a record-high current density of 4.0 A cm−2 at 2.02 V with the lowest-ever-reported Pt loading of 1.2 μgPt cm−2 and exhibits an excellent durability of 1,000 h at 2 A cm−2.

Methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) perovskite has been the workhorse material for this class of semiconductors, offering good efficiency with a relatively simple composition, which attracts industrial scale production. Despite that, instability has hampered their further exploitation. In this work, we explored the effect of different types and timing of the antisolvents on MAPbI3 perovskite crystallization. This approach enabled control of the crystalline microstrain while reducing unwanted trap density. This effect impacted device performances, enabling the achievement of MAPbI3 solar cell with power conversion efficiency (PCE) approaching 22%. Importantly, we demonstrated that an efficient MAPbI3 perovskite solar cell is also a stable one. Our solar cells showed an efficiency loss of only 10% after 900 h at 85°C, putting MA-based PSCs back among promising PV technologies.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114416","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}

Adding sacrificial salts can be cost effective, given low materials costs and minimal process changes. By contrast, many methods are reported to tune CAM morphology.

Utilizing flash infrared annealing (FIRA), we fabricated TEMPO-FAPI PSCs with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 20%, exceeding the prior state of the art for this process. The TEMPO additive promotes enhanced crystallization dynamics, yielding films with improved homogeneity and reduced defect densities, as confirmed by photoluminescence (PL), profilometry, and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Stability testing under ISOS protocols demonstrated that the TEMPO-FAPI devices retained over 90% of their initial PCE after 4,296 h of operational and thermal stress, showing unprecedented longevity for a rapid processing technique. TEMPO’s primary effect on passivating grain boundaries and surface defects is evidenced by a significantly reduced non-radiative recombination rate and low defect density, establishing this molecule as a promising additive for scalable, durable FAPI PSC manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144104008","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}
