Phonon features in terahertz photoconductivity spectra due to data analysis artifact: A case study on organometallic halide perovskites by Marcus, Ruldoph Arthur, Michel-Beyerle, Maria-Elisabeth, Lam, Yeng Ming, Chia, Elbert Ee Min, La-o-vorakiat, Chan, Cheng, Liang, Salim, Teddy

“…By use of experimental and simulated data of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites as a case study, we demonstrate that a correction term must be included in the approximated thin-film formula used in the literature; otherwise, parts of the spectra with high background permittivity near the phonon-mode resonances might interfere with the transient photoconductivity. …”

Steering perovskite precursor solutions for multijunction photovoltaics by Hu, S, Wang, J, Zhao, P, Pascual, J, Wang, J, Rombach, F, Dasgupta, A, Liu, W, Truong, MA, Zhu, H, Kober-Czerny, M, Drysdale, JN, Smith, JA, Yuan, Z, Aalbers, GJW, Schipper, NRM, Yao, J, Nakano, K, Turren-Cruz, S-H, Dallmann, A, Christoforo, MG, Ball, JM, McMeekin, DP, Zaininger, K-A, Liu, Z, Noel, NK, Tajima, K, Chen, W, Ehara, M, Janssen, RAJ, Wakamiya, A, Snaith, HJ

“…Multijunction photovoltaics (PVs) are gaining prominence owing to their superior capability of achieving power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) beyond the radiative limit of single-junction cells^1-8, where improving narrow bandgap tin–lead perovskites is critical for thin-film devices⁹. With a focus on understanding the chemistry of tin–lead perovskite precursor solutions, we herein find that Sn(II) species dominate interactions with precursors and additives and uncover the exclusive role of carboxylic acid in regulating solution colloidal properties and film crystallisation, and ammonium in improving film optoelectronic properties. …”
