Nonetheless, there remains a research gap concerning PETS for PV and PV/T systems because there are still unanswered concerns in the literature. These gaps include specific details about what PETS technology entails in terms of cooling, and the reasons behind the non-commercialization of certain PETS technologies by evaluating the pros and cons of each method. Furthermore, it is not been stated previously whether research on device-based PETS is feasible for conventional PV technology or whether rendering PV material like Perovskite is the future. This study not only tackles these important issues regarding PETS systems, but also extracts statistical and qualitative data from recent literature for each PETS method, showing the potential of each technology with respect to influencing factors like scale, system sizes, location, type of PV cell, and environmental factors. Based on the analysis, integrating PETS techniques has the potential to improve solar PV efficiency by a range of 1% to 50%, coinciding with a surface temperature decrease of 1.8 °C to 50 °C in PV panels. Strategies that work well include spectrum filtering, radiative cooling, jet impingement, and rendering Perovskite materials. For future research, several key areas have been highlighted for new researchers, such as evaluating the long-term viability of each PETS method rather than focusing solely on short-term performance metrics. This includes conducting 4E (Energy, Exergy, Environmental, and Economic) analyses under variable experimental conditions throughout the year, which can provide insights critical for advancing the commercialization of PETS methods.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831904","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}

Symmetry breaking is frequently adopted in donor and acceptor materials for efficient charge separation in organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, we extend this strategy to interfacial material and enhance the OSC charge extraction. In particular, we developed an unsymmetrical interfacial phosphonic acid, BrDECz, by introducing an electron-donating and an electron-withdrawing group for push-pull self-assembled monolayer/multilayer (SAM). We systematically show that the unsymmetrical structures induces a larger dipole moment, optimized energy levels, higher adsorption energy, and enhanced conductivity as confirmed by KPFM and C-AFM measurements. These factors collectively contribute to enhanced charge extraction and collection as demonstrate bytransient technologies. Consequently, we achieved a 19.67% PCE in binary single junction OSCs, one of the highest reported efficiencies for this type of devices. Importantly, the designed unsymmetrical BrDECz interfacial layer is universally applicable to other systems, and offers improved thermal stability compared to PEDOT:PSS. The unsymmetrical interfacial molecule strategy offers valuable insights into the design and application of interfacial materials, presenting a promising approach for further enhancing the photovoltaic performance of OSCs.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831907","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}

Electrical characterisation methods mostly observe complex indirect effects of ions on bulk/interface recombination, struggle to quantify the ion density and mobility, and are typically not able to fully quantify the influence of the ions upon the bulk and interfacial electric fields. We analyse the bias-assisted charge extraction (BACE) method for the case of a screened bulk electric field, and introduce a new characterisation method based on BACE, termed ion drift BACE. We reveal that the initial current density and current decay dynamics depend on the ion conductivity, which is the product of ion density and mobility. This means that for an unknown high ion density, typical in perovskite solar absorber layers, the mobility cannot be directly obtained from BACE measurements. We derive an analytical model to illustrate the relation between current density, conductivity and bulk field screening, supported by drift-diffusion simulations. By measuring the ion density independently with impedance spectroscopy, we show how the ion mobility can be derived from the BACE ion conductivity. We highlight important differences between the low- and high-ion density cases, which reveal whether the bulk electric field is fully screened or not. Our work clarifies the complex ion-related processes occurring within perovskite solar cells and gives new insight into the operational principles of halide perovskite devices as mixed ionic-electronic conductors.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831992","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}

However, first-cycle capacity loss is higher in SSBs than in LIBs due to interfacial reactions. The chemical evolution of key interfaces in SSBs has been extensively characterized. Electrochemically, however, we lack a versatile strategy for quantifying the reversibility of solid electrolyte (SE) redox for established and next-generation SSB electrolytes. In this work, we perform tailored electrochemical tests and operando X-ray diffraction to disentangle reversible and irreversible sources of capacity loss in positive electrodes composed of Li6PS5Cl SE, Li(Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2)O2 (NMC), and carbon conductive additives. We leverage an atypically low voltage cutoff (2.0 V vs. Li/Li+) to quantify the reversibility of SE redox. Using slow (5.5 mA gNMC-1) cycling paired with > 100 h low-voltage holds, our cells achieve a surprising 96.2% first-cycle Coulombic efficiency, which is higher than previously reported (mean: 72%, maximum: 91.6% across surveyed literature). We clarify that sluggish NMC relithiation kinetics have been historically mistaken for permanently irreversible capacity loss. Through systematic decoupling of loss mechanisms, we uncover the unexpected reversibility of SE redox and isolate the major contributors to capacity loss, outlining a strategy for an accurate assessment of next-generation SE materials and interface modifications.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831931","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 propose an approach for bulk incorporating benzyl carbamimidothioate hydrochloride (BLSCl) to create 2D/3D perovskites without using MACl additive. This method effectively inhibits the α-to-δ phase transition and allows for improved modulation of crystallization within MA/Br-free FA-based PSCs. BLS-induced multi-quantum-well structure significantly prevents water and oxygen corrosion. Moreover, BLS forms multiple hydrogen bonds and S-Pb coordination bonds with perovskite inorganic layers for modulating crystallization and passivating defects to create high-quality 2D/3D perovskite films. Consequently, the improved 2D/3D FA-based perovskite film possesses outstanding stability under harsh conditions (T = 200 ℃, RH = 80%) without α-to-δ phase transition. The resultant PSCs achieved a remarkable efficiency of 25.96% (0.1 cm2). More importantly, an outstanding PCE of 24.54% (certified 23.94%) was attained for 1.01 cm2 device, which is the highest value for inverted MA/Br-free FA-based PSCs without MACl additive. Additionally, the optimized device demonstrates exceptional operational stability, with a T96 value exceeding 1200 hours (T = 60 ℃). These findings offer valuable insights into inhibiting phase transitions and optimizing crystallization processes in MA/Br-free FA-based PSCs.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142809297","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}

By leveraging solar energy to induce water evaporation, SDIE systems generate ion concentration, salinity, and temperature gradients that enable the co-production of water, green electricity, and valuable minerals. However, the performance and sustainability of SDIE co-production systems is restricted by a limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms that drive the energy and mass gradients formation. In this perspective, we first outline the typical SDIE-based water-energy-minerals co-production (SWEM) systems. Next, based on material and system optimization, we propose rational strategies to enhance gradient formation through the regulation of energy and mass transfer processes, with the aim of strengthening the energy and resources output of SWEM. We also explore hybrid methodologies integrating multiple physical fields using gradient engineering, to achieve synergistic enhancements while mitigating gradient conflicts. Finally, we identify the current challenges and outline future directions to develop next-generation SWEMs, aiming to enhancing the sustainability and resilience of sustainable energy supply chains.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142809616","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}

In this study, we proposed a robust strategy of constructing redox-active metal-organic framework mediators (RM-MOFs) for use as sulfur hosts and effective redox mediators (RMs) in LSBs. The RM-MOF immobilizes the redox-active dithiothreitol (DTT) molecules on the exposed metal sites of mesoporous MOF, which can prevent the loss of DTT, arrange it uniformly in separate pores, confine LiPSs, and continuously modulate redox kinetics during long-term cycling. Notably, the RM-MOF streamlines the redox pathways through redox reactions between LiPSs and the −SH groups of the DTT units, forming short-chain organosulfur compounds and facilitating radical reactions. Leveraging these advantages, RM-MOF significantly enhances the performance of LSBs in both discharge capacity at various C-rates and cycling stability (over 90% reduced decay rate), enabling a high areal capacity of 13.8 mAh cm⁻2 at high sulfur loadings and high-energy density (316.5 Wh kg⁻1) pouch cell operation.
