Strong-correlation induced high-mobility electrons in Dirac semimetal of perovskite oxide

by J. Fujioka

Strong-correlation induced high-mobility electrons in Dirac semimetal of perovskite oxide

Strong-correlation induced high-mobility electrons in Dirac semimetal of perovskite oxide, Published online: 21 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-08149-y

Electron correlation normally makes electrons less mobile, but it is still not clear when correlation becomes very strong in Dirac semimetals. Here, Fujioka et al. report a very high electron mobility exceeding 60,000 cm2V−1s−1 in correlated Dirac semimetal of perovskite CaIrO3, due to the enhanced electron correlation nearby the Mott transition.

Light- and bias-induced structural variations in metal halide perovskites

Light- and bias-induced structural variations in metal halide perovskites, Published online: 25 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08364-1

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells have been under the spotlight but what happens in the working solar cell device at the nanoscale remains elusive. Here Kim et al. show that light and voltage bias can induce strain and structural variation which may cause J–V scan hysteresis.

Indirect tail states formation by thermal-induced polar fluctuations in halide perovskites

Indirect tail states formation by thermal-induced polar fluctuations in halide perovskites, Published online: 29 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08326-7

The weak effects induced by lattice disorder on the optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites still remain elusive. Here Wu et al. confirm the indirect transition tail states in perovskite crystals which explain their low photoluminescence quantum yield, dual emission peaks and difficulties in realizing lasing.

Advanced Energy Materials Zwitterions for Organic/Perovskite Solar Cells, Light‐Emitting Devices, and Lithium Ion Batteries: Recent Progress and Perspectives

Zwitterions have emerged as a novel class of materials for organic/perovskite solar cells, light‐emitting devices, and lithium ion batteries. These materials have demonstrated tremendous performance in the enabling of highly efficient devices. The mechanism of action, structure–property relationships, and more device applications of zwitterionic materials must be explored to exploit the potential of these materials to the full.


Abstract

Zwitterions, a class of materials that contain covalently bonded cations and anions, have been extensively studied in the past decades owing to their special features, such as excellent solubility in polar solvents, for solution processing and dipole formation for the transfer of carriers and ions. Recently, zwitterions have been developed as electrode modifiers for organic solar cells (OSCs), perovskite solar cells (PVSCs), and organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs), as well as electrolyte additives for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). With the rapid advances of zwitterionic materials, high‐performance devices have been constructed with enhanced efficiencies by introducing them as interface layers and electrolyte additives. In this review, recent progress in OSCs, PVSCs, OLEDs, and LIBs by using zwitterions is highlighted. The authors also elaborate the role of various zwitterionic materials as interfacial layers and additives for highly efficient OSCs, PVSCs, OLEDs, and LIBs. This article presents an overview of device performance of zwitterionic materials. The structure–property relationship is also discussed. Finally, the prospects of zwitterion materials are also addressed.
