As a result of research and development all over the world, the photoelectric conversion efficiency for single-cell devices has rapidly improved to over 26% (as of July 2023), while the record efficiency for silicon-on-perovskite tandem devices currently stands at 33.7% (reported in May 2023). Materials chemistry has made many important contributions toward these remarkable results. In this account, we will introduce our achievements in these areas of material chemistry research for improving the performance of perovskite photovoltaics, including the development of high-purity precursor materials, and precursor inks tailored for large-area printed perovskite films. Studies of the nucleation and crystallization process, including simulations, have led to the reliable fabrication of high-quality perovskite films. Diverse new charge collection materials, as well as compounds to effectively modify the perovskite surfaces, have improved solar cell performance.","PeriodicalId":9511,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan","volume":"30 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139448649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of unexplored substituents on the phosphine imidoyl nitrogen and/or phosphorus atoms should facilitate the discovery of unprecedented utility for phosphine imides. Herein, we have designed and prepared a novel class of phosphine imides known as N -borane-substituted cyclic phosphine imides (BCPIs). Experimental and theoretical analyses of the electronic structure of BCPIs demonstrate the existence of substantial negative hyperconjugation between the nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms. Given a characteristic nucleophilic/Lewis basic reactivity of BCPIs, we represent the first experimental demonstration that a 5 -oxazaphosphetane species is a key intermediate in the transformation of CO 2 using phosphine imides. Moreover, although it has been previously considered unlikely, the spontaneous heterolysis of a B ‒ Cl bond in a BCPI-coordinated chloroborane has been directly observed, suggesting that such process is a plausible key step in the Lewis acid-promoted generation of borenium species from chloroboranes. These results thus provide evidence of two species that have been missing in contemporary organic chemistry.
