The application of conventional metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as electrode materials in supercapacitors is largely hindered by their conventionally poor electrical conductivity. This study reports the fabrication of conductive MOF nanowire arrays (NWAs) and the application of them as the sole electrode material for solid‐state supercapacitors. By taking advantage of the nanostructure and making full use of the high porosity and excellent conductivity, the MOF NWAs in solid‐state supercapacitor show the highest areal capacitance and best rate performance of all reported MOF materials for supercapacitors, which is even comparable to most carbon materials.

Designing functional fullerenes with roles beyond defect passivation and electron‐transporting for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is essential to the development of fullerenes and PSCs. Here, the authors design and synthesize a functional fullerene, FPD, composed of a C60 cage, a porphyrin ring, and three pentafluorophenyl groups. The structure features of FPD enable it can form chemical interactions with the perovskite lattices. These interactions enhance the defect passivation effect and prevent the decomposition of perovskite under irradiation. As a result, the FPD‐based device yields an improved power conversion efficiency of 23% with substantially enhanced operational stability (T80 > 1500 h). Furthermore, once got damaged, the FPD can prevent lead leakage by forming a stable and water‐insoluble complex (FPD‐Pb). Their findings provide a novel strategy to achieve high‐performance and eco‐friendly PSCs with functional fullerene materials.
