TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was used to modify the SnO2 electron selective layers (ESLs) interface.
Abstract: We report a simple and effective interface engineering method for achieving highly efficient planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) employing SnO2 electron selective layers (ESLs). Herein, a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was used to modify the SnO2 ESL/perovskite layer interface. This APTES SAM demonstrates multiple functions: (1) it can increase the surface energy and enhance the affinity of the SnO2 ESL, which induce the formation of high quality perovskite films with a better morphology and enhanced crystallinity. (2) Its terminal functional groups form dipoles on the SnO2 surface, leading to a decreased work function of SnO2 and enlarged built-in potential of SnO2/perovskite heterojunctions. (3) The terminal groups can passivate the trap states at the perovskite surface via hydrogen bonding. (4) The thin insulating layer at the interface can hinder electron back transfer and reduce the recombination process at the interface effectively. With these desirable properties, the best-performing cell employing a APTES SAM modified-SnO2 ESL achieved a PCE over 18% and a steady-state efficiency of 17.54%. Impressively, to the best of our knowledge, the obtained VOC of 1.16 V is the highest value reported for the CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) system. Our results suggest that the ESL/perovskite interface engineering with a APTES SAM is a promising method for fabricating efficient and hysteresis-less PSCs.

TL;DR: A facile and rapid room temperature synthesis of 15-25 nm formamidinium CH(NH2)2PbX3 colloidal nanocrystals by ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) is reported, which has a high photoluminescence quantum yield, colloidal and thermodynamic stability, and is an ideal candidate for optoelectronic devices and applications.
Abstract: In the past few years, hybrid organic–inorganic and all-inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystals have become one of the most interesting materials for optoelectronic applications. Here, we report a facile and rapid room temperature synthesis of 15–25 nm formamidinium CH(NH2)2PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I, or mixed Cl/Br and Br/I) colloidal nanocrystals by ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP). The cubic and platelet-like nanocrystals with their emission in the range of 415–740 nm, full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 20–44 nm, and radiative lifetimes of 5–166 ns enable band gap tuning by halide composition as well as by their thickness tailoring; they have a high photoluminescence quantum yield (up to 85%), colloidal and thermodynamic stability. Combined with surface modification that prevents degradation by water, this nanocrystalline material is an ideal candidate for optoelectronic devices and applications. In addition, optoelectronic measurements verify that the photodetector based on FAPbI3 nanocrystals...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the substitutional cation and the perovskite stability of the mixed conductor, and showed that a rise in the valence of the cation increases the oxygen content.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-assembly approach to highly luminescent colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) is developed by injecting a stock solution of CsX⋅PbX2 in N,N-dimethylformamide into dichloromethane.
Abstract: Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with bright luminescence and broad spectral tunability are good candidates as smart probes for bioimaging, but suffer from hydrolysis even when exposed to atmosphere moisture. In this paper, a strategy is demonstrated by embedding CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) NCs into microhemispheres (MHSs) of polystyrene matrix to prepare “water-resistant” NCs@MHSs hybrids as multicolor multiplexed optical coding agents. First, a facile room-temperature solution self-assembly approach to highly luminescent colloidal CsPbX3 NCs is developed by injecting a stock solution of CsX⋅PbX2 in N,N-dimethylformamide into dichloromethane. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is chosen as the capping ligand, which is physically adsorbed and wrapped on the surface of perovskite NCs to form a protective layer. The PVP protective layer not only leads to composition-tunable CsPbX3 NCs with high quantum yields and narrow emission linewidths of 12–34 nm but also acts as an interfacial layer, making perovskite NCs compatible with polystyrene polymers and facilitating the next step to embed CsPbX3 NCs into polymer MHSs. CsPbX3 NCs@MHSs are demonstrated as multicolor luminescence probes in live cells with high stability and nontoxicity. Using ten intensity levels and seven-color NCs@MHSs that show non-overlapping spectra, it will be possible to individually tag about ten million cells.
