All-in-One Deposition to Synergistically Manipulate Perovskite Growth for High-Performance Solar Cell by Yifan Lv, Hui Zhang, Jinpei Wang, Libao Chen, Lifang Bian, Zhongfu An, Zongyao Qian, Guoqi Ren, Jie Wu, Frank Nüesch, Wei Huang

“…Depending on the different coordination ability with perovskite component, the incorporated molecules can either modify crystallization dynamics allowing for large crystal growth at low temperature (60°C), associate with antisite or undercoordinated ions for defect passivation, or accumulate at the surface as an energy cascade layer to enhance charge transfer, respectively. …”

Hydrogen Bonds in Precursor Solution: The Origin of the Anomalous <i>J</i>–<i>V</i> Curves in Perovskite Solar Cells by Lin Zhang, Lin Yao, Yanfang Chu, Lei Zhao, Hongmei Zhao, Yuchen Sun, Jing Li, Junjie He

“…The GQP removes the need for polar solvents in the precursor solution layer by using nitrogen flow, rather than extracting them with non-polar solvents. The crystallization dynamics in this process can be significantly different. …”

2D Halide Perovskite Phase Formation Dynamics and Their Regulation by Co‐Additives for Efficient Solar Cells by Min Liu, Daming Zheng, Tao Zhu, Karol Vegso, Peter Siffalovic, Thierry Pauporté

“…Abstract The incorporation of large organic ammonium ions renders the crystallization dynamics and layer formation process of halide perovskites complex, difficult to control, and leads to problems of suppressed charge transport with the formation of tiny‐sized grains. …”

CsI-antisolvent adduct formation in all-inorganic metal halide perovskites by Moot, T, Marshall, AR, Wheeler, L, Habisreutinger, S, Schloemer, T, Boyd, CC, Dikova, D, Pach, G, McGehee, M, Hazarika, A, Snaith, H, Luther, J

“…The excellent optoelectronic properties demonstrated by hybrid organic/inorganic metal halide perovskites are all predicated on precisely controlling the exact nucleation and crystallization dynamics that occur during film formation. …”

Modulating CsPbl3 crystallization by using diammonium agent for efficient solar cells by Junming Qiu, Qisen Zhou, Mei Yu, Jianhua Liu, Rongshan Zhuang, Yong Hua, Liming Ding, Xiaoliang Zhang

“…Systemically experimental studies and comprehensively theoretical calculations are performed, which reveal that histammonium dihydrochloride (HACl2) could strongly couple with the perovskite during its crystallization, leading to faster nucleation and slower perovskite growth, and thus modulating the crystallization dynamics of the perovskites. Moreover, the residual diammonium cations (HA2+) distributed at the grain boundaries and on the surface of the perovskites can effectively passivate defects through electrostatic interactions, substantially suppressing trap‐assisted nonradiative recombination, and prompting more matched perovskite surface energetics. …”

Cellular automata dynamics of nonlinear optical processes in a phase-change material by Zhang, Liwei, Waters, Robin F., Macdonald, Kevin F., Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…Comprehensive modeling of phase-change processes in photonics is, however, extremely challenging as it involves a number of entangled processes including atomic/molecular structural change, domain and crystallization dynamics, change of optical properties in inhomogeneous composite media, and the transport and dissipation of heat and light, which happen on time and length scales spanning several orders of magnitude. …”

Antisolvent choice determines the domain distribution of quasi-2D perovskite for blue-emitting perovskites-based light emitting devices by Yantara, Natalia, Kanwat, Anil, Furuhashi, Tomoki, Chua, Huei Min, Sum, Tze Chien, Mathews, Nripan

“…Herein, the crystallization dynamics and resulting optoelectronic properties of PBA (phenyl-butyl-ammonium)-based quasi-2D perovskites (A′2Am-1PbmX3m+1), which are commonly employed to create blue emissive films, are scrutinized for the first time through in situ photoluminescence measurements during film formation. …”

Narrow bandgap Metal halide perovskites for all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics by Hu, S, Thiesbrummel, J, Pascual, J, Stolterfoht, M, Wakamiya, A, Snaith, HJ

“…One of the main obstacles that need to be overcome is the─oftentimes─low quality of the mixed Sn&minus;Pb perovskite films, largely caused by the facile oxidation of Sn(II) to Sn(IV), as well as the difficult-to-control film crystallization dynamics. Additional detrimental imperfections are introduced in the perovskite thin film, particularly at its vulnerable surfaces, including the top and bottom interfaces as well as the grain boundaries. …”

Two-Dimensional Cs₃Sb₂I_9−xCl_x Film with (201) Preferred Orientation for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells by Jihong Li, Yongao Lv, Huifang Han, Jia Xu, Jianxi Yao

“…The presence of the C=S functional group in TU regulates the crystallization dynamics of Cs₃Sb₂I_9−xCl_x films and generates the (201) preferred orientation of Cs₃Sb₂Cl_xI_9−x films, which could effectively improve the carrier transport and film morphology. …”
