“…Solar energy is largely untapped to meet the rapidly growing global energy demand. [1][2][3] As a burgeoning photovoltaic technology, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received much attention in recent years. Since the first report of a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.8 % in 2009 by Miyasaka and colleagues, [4] the efficiency of these photovoltaic devices has surpassed 25 %.…”

A series of new D2h symmetric porphyrins (MDA4, MTA4, and MDA8) with donor‐π‐donor structures have been synthesized as the hole‐transporting materials for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The novel porphyrin molecules feature a D2h symmetrically substituted ZnII porphyrin core and two kinds of donor systems (diarylamine (DAA) and triarylamine (TAA)), which can regulate energy level, increase thermal stability, solubility, and hydrophobicity via long alkoxyl chains. PSC devices based on MDA4 as the HTM showed impressive power‐conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.67 % under AM1.5G solar illumination. Notably, the device was sent for certification, and a PCE of 22.19 % was reported, representing the highest PCE from porphyrin‐based HTMs. Furthermore, the MDA4‐based PSCs showed excellent thermal stability under 60 °C and RH 60 % and preserved 88 % of initial performance after 360 hours. The strategy opens a new avenue for developing efficient and stable porphyrin HTMs for PSCs.

“…Currently, a lot of attention is devoted to the flexible photovoltaic membranes, as they can maintain the required durability and fulfil the aesthetic, building-physics requirement(s) [ 1 ]. Therefore, the demand for a sustainable and semi-permanent energy-harvesting system, which converts solar energy to electricity, has been continuously increasing.…”

“…The modification of flexible polymers with metal chalcogenides not only allows control an architecture of resultant solar absorbers, but also enables the creation of flexible materials with the unique microstructures and optical properties. Printing and coating methods are two main techniques to deposit thin films onto the flexible polymer surface [ 1 ]. Recently, surface modification of organic polymers with metal chalcogenides thin films via different coating techniques have been reported [ 3 ].…”

Ag–Se nanostructure films were deposited on a–Se/nylon templates by a template-engaged reaction. Firstly, amorphous selenium (a–Se) was deposited on nylon by employing the chemical bath deposition method while using H2SeO3 and Na2SO3 solutions with an increasing selenium deposition time. Then, these a–Se/nylon templates were exposed into AgNO3 solution at ambient temperature and pressure. The Ag–Se/nylon nanocomposites surface morphology, elemental and phase composition, and optical properties were monitored depending on the selenium deposition time on nylon. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed the development of a very complex surface composed of pyramidal-like sub-micron structures, agglomerates, and grid-like structures. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) proved the presence of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, selenium, and silver. SEM/EDS cross-sectional analysis confirmed the multilayer character with different individual elemental composition in each film layer. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a polycrystalline Ag2Se phase with or without metallic Ag. The RMS value obtained from atomic force microscopy varies from 25.82 nm to 57.04 nm. From the UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the direct optical band gaps were found to be 1.68–1.86 eV. Ag–Se/nylon composites exhibit high refractive indices in the near infrared region.

Robust power supplies and self‐powered sensors that are extensible, autonomously adhesive, and transparent are highly desirable for next‐generation electronic/energy/robotic applications. In the work, a solid‐state triboelectric patch integrated with the above features (≈318% elongation, >85% average transmission, ≈44.3 N m−1 adhesive strength) is developed using polyethylene oxide/waterborne polyurethane/phytic acid composite (abbreviated as PWP composite) as an effective current collector and silicone rubber as tribolayer. The PWP composite is optimized systematically and corresponding single‐electrode device can supply a power density of 2.3 W m−2 at 75% strain. The triboelectric patch is capable of charging capacitors and powering electronics by efficiently harvesting biomechanical energies. Moreover, it can be autonomously attached to nonplanar skin or apparel substrates and used as a tactile sensor or an epidermal input touchpad for physiological motion detection and remote control of appliances, respectively. Even after dynamic deformation, tailoring, and prolonged use, the patch can maintain good stability and reliability of electrical outputs. This work provides a novel solid‐state and liquid‐free polyionic electrode‐based triboelectric nanogenerator integrated with adhesiveness, stretchability, and transparency, which can meet wide application needs from transparent electronics, artificial skins, to smart interfaces.
