However, the technology and industrialization of AZMBs are greatly plagued by issues of Zn anode such as persistent dendrites and parasitic side reactions, resulting in rapid capacity degradation or battery failure. Electrochemically or chemically in-situ interfacial protection layers have very good self-adaption features for stability and reversibility of Zn anodes, which can also be well matched to current battery manufacturing. However, the in-situ interfacial strategies are far from the practical design for effective Zn anodes. Therefore, a targeted academic discussion that serves the development of this field is very urgent. Herein, the comprehensive insights on electrochemically and chemically in-situ interfacial protection layers for Zn anode were proposed in this review. It showcased a systematic summary of research advances, followed by detailed discussions on electrochemically and chemically in-situ interfacial protection strategies. More importantly, several crucial issues facing in-situ interfacial protection strategies have been further put forward. The final section particularly highlighted a systematic and rigorous scheme for precise designing highly stable and reversible in-situ interface for practical zinc anodes.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142542659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blade-coating method stands out as a highly suitable technique for fabricating large-scale films, albeit with challenges such as uneven nucleation coverage and non-uniformity crystallization process. In this work, we developed an in-situ characterization measurement system to monitor the perovskite nucleation, and crystallization process. By incorporating formamidine acetate (FAAc) into perovskite precursor solutions, the nucleation rate and nuclei density of perovskite were increased, leading to more uniform nucleation. In addition, we inserted a layer of [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl] phosphonic acid above the poly(9-vinylcarbazole) hole transport layer. This layer acts as an anchor for the perovskite nano-crystal nuclei formed in the precursor, enhancing the steric hindrance of the solute and subsequently slowing down the crystal growth rate, thereby improving crystal quality. Based on these improvements, large-area perovskite nano-polycrystalline films with significantly improved uniformity and enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield were obtained. A small-area PeLED (2 mm × 2 mm) with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 25.91% was realized, marking the highest record of PeLED prepared by blade-coating method to date. An ultra-large-area PeLED (5 cm × 7 cm) was also prepared, which is the largest PeLED prepared by the solution method reported so far.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142542662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
