In this study, we demonstrate a hafnia-based ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) that achieves a record-high tunneling electroresistance (TER) ratio of over 200,000 and decade-long retention characteristics. By introducing asymmetric oxygen vacancies through the strategic use of indium oxide (InO<sub>x</sub>) layer, we enhance the TER ratio without increasing off-current, addressing the longstanding issue of low on-current in hafnia-based FTJs. Unlike prior approaches that led to leakage currents, our method optimizes tunneling behavior by leveraging the differential oxygen dissociation energy between InO<sub>x</sub> and hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO). This results in asymmetric modulation of the tunnel barrier, enhancing electron tunneling in one polarization state while maintaining stability in the opposite state. Furthermore, we explore the intrinsic characteristics of the FTJ at cryogenic temperatures, where reduced thermal energy minimizes leakage currents and allows the maximization of device performance. These findings establish a new benchmark for TER in hafnia-based FTJs and provide valuable insights for the integration of these devices into advanced cryogenic memory systems.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://nanoconvergencejournal.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40580-024-00461-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This comprehensive review focuses on the role of buried interface engineering in enhancing the performance and stability of PSCs with both n-type electron transport layer/perovskite/p-type hole transport layer (n-i-p) and p-type hole transport layer/perovskite/n-type electron transport layer (p-i-n) structures. This study highlights key challenges associated with interface engineering, such as charge extraction, recombination loss, and energy level alignment. Various interface engineering techniques, such as surface passivation, self-assembled monolayers, and additive engineering, are explored in terms of their effectiveness in mitigating recombination loss and improving long-term device stability. This review also provides an in-depth analysis of material selection for the electron and hole transport layers, defect management techniques, and the influence of these on perovskite film quality and device stability. Advanced characterization methods for buried interfaces are discussed, providing insights into the structural, morphological, and electronic properties that govern device performance. Furthermore, we explore emerging approaches that target homogenous cation distribution and phase stability at buried interfaces, both of which are crucial for improving PCEs beyond current benchmarks. By synthesizing the latest research findings and identifying key challenges, this review aims to guide future directions in interface engineering for PSCs and ensure their successful use in next-generation sustainable energy technologies.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://nanoconvergencejournal.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40580-024-00464-z","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among various approaches, 2D channel membranes have emerged as promising candidates due to their tunable ion selectivity and scalability. While significant progress has been made in achieving high Li<sup>+</sup>/Mg<sup>2+</sup> selectivity, enhancing Li<sup>+</sup> ion selectivity over Na<sup>+</sup> ion, the dominant monovalent cation in seawater, remains a challenge due to their similar properties. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental mechanisms underlying Li<sup>+</sup> selectivity in 2D channel membranes, focusing on the dehydration and diffusion processes that dictate ion transport. Inspired by the principles of biological ion channels, we identify key factors—channel size, surface charge, and binding sites—that influence energy barriers and shape the interplay between dehydration and diffusion. We highlight recent progress in leveraging these factors to enhance Li<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> selectivity and address the challenges posed by counteracting effects in ion transport. While substantial advancements have been made, the lack of comprehensive principles guiding the interplay of these variables across permeation steps represents a key obstacle to optimizing Li<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> selectivity. Nonetheless, with their inherent chemical stability and fabrication scalability, 2D channel membranes offer significant potential for lithium extraction if these challenges can be addressed.

These instabilities can be triggered by factors such as photoexcitation, electrical bias, and the surrounding electrolyte/solvent or atmosphere under operating conditions. Spectroelectrochemistry offers a powerful approach to bridge the gap between electrochemistry and photochemistry (or spectroscopy), by providing a comprehensive understanding of the band structure and excited-state dynamics of halide perovskites. This review summarizes recent advances that highlight the fundamental principles, the electronic band structure of halide perovskite materials, and the photoelectrochemical phenomena observed upon photo- and electro-chemical charge injections. Further, we discuss halide instability, encompassing halide oxidation, vacancy formation, ion migration, degradation, and sequential expulsion under electrical bias.
