Abstract
In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted significant attention due to their excellent photoelectric properties. However, several key performance parameters of these devices still fall short of their theoretical limits. Among these parameters, the regulation of open-circuit voltage (VOC) has been a focal point of intensive research efforts, playing a pivotal role in advancing the efficiency of PSCs. This review first provides an overview of the generation and loss mechanism of VOC. It then discusses the significance of interface engineering in VOC regulation. Recent developments in high-efficiency PSCs realized via interface engineering have been summarized and categorized into three key areas: surface modification, interface structure optimization, and surface dimensional engineering. Finally, a comprehensive summary of past research in this domain and offered insights into the future prospects of enhancing VOC in PSCs is provided.

Abstract
Perovskite nanomaterials have recently been exploited for bioimaging applications due to their unique photo-physical properties, including high absorbance, good photostability, narrow emissions, and nonlinear optical properties. These attributes outperform conventional fluorescent materials such as organic dyes and metal chalcogenide quantum dots and endow them with the potential to reshape a wide array of bioimaging modalities. Yet, their full potential necessitates a deep grasp of their structure-attribute relationship and strategies for enhancing water stability through surface engineering for meeting the stringent and unique requirements of each individual imaging modality. This review delves into this evolving frontier, highlighting how their distinctive photo-physical properties can be leveraged and optimized for various bioimaging modalities, including visible light imaging, near-infrared imaging, and super-resolution imaging.

Epitaxial Growth of α-FAPbI 3 at a Well-Matched Heterointerface for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells and Solar Modules. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2309208.

Abstract
Although the FAPbI3 perovskite system exhibits an impressive optoelectronic characteristic and thermal stability because of its energetically unstable black phase at room temperature, it is considerably challenging to attain a controllable and oriented nucleation of α-FAPbI3 . To overcome this challenge, a 2D perovskite with a released inorganic octahedral distortion designed by weakening the hydrogen interactions between the organic interlayer and [PbI6 ]4- octahedron is presented in this study. A highly matched heterointerface can be formed between the (002) facet of the 2D structure and the (100) crystal plane of the cubic α-FAPbI3 , thereby lowering the crystallization energy and inducing a heterogeneous nucleation of α-FAPbI3 . This "epitaxial growth" mechanism results form the highly preferred crystallographic orientation of the (100) facets, improved crystal quality and film uniformity, substantially increased charge transporting characteristics, and suppressed nonradiative recombination losses. An impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.4% (certified 25.2%) is achieved using target PSCs, which demonstrates outstanding ambient and operational stability. The feasibility of this strategy is proved for the scalable deposition of homogeneous and high-quality perovskite thin films by demonstrating the remarkably increased PCE of the large-area perovskite solar module, from 18.2% to 20.1%.

Abstract
In halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), moderate lead iodide (PbI2) can enhance device efficiency by providing some passivation effects, but extremely active PbI2 leads to the current density-voltage hysteresis effect and device instability. In addition, defects distributed on the buried interface of tin oxide (SnO2)/perovskite will lead to the photogenerated carrier recombination. Here, rubidium chloride (RbCl) is introduced at the buried SnO2/perovskite interface, which not only acts as an interfacial passivator to interact with the uncoordinated tin ions (Sn4+) and fill the oxygen vacancy on the SnO2 surface but also converts PbI2 into an inactive (PbI2)2RbCl compound to stabilize the perovskite phase via a bottom-up evolution effect. These synergistic effects deliver a champion PCE of 22.13% with suppressed hysteresis for the W RbCl PSCs, in combination with enhanced environmental and thermal stability. This work demonstrates that the interfacial defect passivation and bottom-up excess PbI2 management using RbCl modifiers are promising strategies to address the outstanding challenges associated with PSCs.

Abstract
Engineering multidimensional two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) perovskite interfaces as light harvesters has recently emerged as a potential strategy to obtain a higher photovoltaic performance in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with enhanced environmental stability. In this study, we utilized the 1,5-diammonium naphthalene iodide (NDAI) bulky organic spacer for interface modification in 3D perovskites for passivating the anionic iodide/uncoordinated Pb2+ vacancies as well as facilitating charge carrier transfer by improving the energy band alignment at the perovskite/HTL interface. Consequently, the NDAI-treated 2D/3D PSCs showed an enhanced open-circuit voltage and fill factor with a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.48%. In addition, 2D/3D perovskite devices without encapsulation exhibit a 77% retention of their initial output after 1000 h of aging under 50 ± 5% relative humidity. Furthermore, even after 200 h of storage in 85 °C thermal stress, the devices maintain 60% of their initial PCE. The defect passivation and interface modification mechanism were studied in detail by UV vis absorption, photoluminescence spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), solid-state NMR, space-charge-limited current (SCLC) mobility measurement, and impedance spectroscopy. This study provides a promising path for perovskite surface modification in slowing their degradation against external stimuli, providing a future direction for increasing the perovskite device efficiency and durability.

Abstract
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) is being extensively studied in optoelectronic devices due to its electronic and photonic properties. However, the controlled optimization of h-BN's insulating properties is necessary to fully explore its potential in energy conversion and storage devices. In this work, we engineered the surface of h-BN nanoflakes via one-step in situ chemical functionalization using a liquid-phase exfoliation approach. The functionalized h-BN (F-h-BN) nanoflakes were subsequently dispersed on the surface of TiO2 to tune the TiO2/QDs interface of the optoelectronic device. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices based on TiO2/F-h-BN/QDs with optimized addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and scattering layers showed 46% improvement compared to the control device (TiO2/QDs). This significant improvement is attributed to the reduced trap/carrier recombination and enhanced carrier injection rate of the TiO2-CNTs/F-h-BN/QDs photoanode. Furthermore, by employing an optimized TiO2-CNTs/F-h-BN/QDs photoanode, QDs-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) yield an 18% improvement in photoconversion efficiency. This represents a potential and adaptability of our approach, and pathway to explore surface-engineered 2D materials to optimize the interface of solar energy conversion and other emerging optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The first and foremost intent of our present study is to design a perovskite solar cell favorable for realistic applications with excellent efficiency by utilizing SCAPS-1D. To ensure this motive, the detection of a compatible electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer (HTL) for the suggested mixed perovskite layer entitled FA0.85Cs0.15Pb (I0.85Br0.15)3 (MPL) was carried out, employing diver ETLs such as SnO2, PCBM, TiO2, ZnO, CdS, WO3 and WS2, and HTLs such as Spiro-OMeTAD, P3HT, CuO, Cu2O, CuI, and MoO3. The attained simulated results, especially for FTO/SnO2/FA0.85Cs0.15Pb (I0.85Br0.15)3/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au, have been authenticated by the theoretical and experimental data, which endorse our simulation process. From the detailed numerical analysis, WS2 and MoO3 were chosen as ETL and HTL, respectively, for designing the proposed novel structure of FA0.85Cs0.15Pb (I0.85Br0.15)3-based perovskite solar cells. With the inspection of several parameters such as variation of the thickness of FA0.85Cs0.15Pb (I0.85Br0.15)3, WS2, and MoO3 including different defect densities, the novel proposed structure has been optimized, and a noteworthy efficiency of 23.39% was achieved with the photovoltaic parameters of VOC = 1.07 V, JSC = 21.83 mA cm-2, and FF = 73.41%. The dark J-V analysis unraveled the reasons for the excellent photovoltaic parameters of our optimized structure. Furthermore, the scrutinizing of QE, C-V, Mott-Schottky plot, and the impact of the hysteresis of the optimized structure was executed for further investigation. Our overall investigation disclosed the fact that the proposed novel structure (FTO/WS2/FA0.85Cs0.15Pb (I0.85Br0.15)3/MoO3/Au) can be attested as a supreme structure for perovskite solar cells with greater efficiency as well as admissible for practical purposes.

Abstract
The layered hybrid double perovskites emerged as excellent semiconductor materials owing to their environment compatibility and stability. However, these materials are weakly luminescent, and their photoluminescence (PL) properties can be modulated via doping. While Mn2+doping in perovskites is well known, but to the best of our knowledge the doping of Mn2+in layered double perovskites (LDPs) is yet to be explored. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate the doping of Mn2+in hybrid inorganic-organic two-dimensional (2D) LDPs, (BA)4AgBiBr8(BA = n-butyl amine) via a simple solid-state mechanochemical route. The powder x-ray diffraction pattern, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis confirm the successful incorporation of Mn2+ions inside (BA)4AgBiBr8lattice. The Mn2+doped 2D LDP shows energy transfer from host excitons to d-electrons of Mn2+ions, which results in red-shifted broad Mn2+emission band centered at 625 nm, attributed to thespin-forbidden4T1to6A1internal transition. This work opens up new possibilities to dope metal ions in 2D LDPs to tune the optical as well as magnetic properties.

Abstract
Optoelectronic devices are key building blocks for sustainable energy, imaging applications, and optical communications in modern society. Two-dimensional materials and perovskites have been considered promising candidates in this research area due to their fascinating material properties. Despite the significant progress achieved in the past decades, challenges still remain to further improve the performance of devices based on 2D materials or perovskites and to solve stability issues for their reliability. Recently, a novel concept of 2D material/perovskite heterostructure has demonstrated remarkable achievements by taking advantage of both materials. The diverse fabrication techniques and large families of 2D materials and perovskites open up great opportunities for structure modification, interface engineering, and composition tuning in state-of-the-art optoelectronics. In this review, we present comprehensive information on the synthesis methods, material properties of 2D materials and perovskites, and the research progress of optoelectronic devices, particularly solar cells and photodetectors which are based on 2D materials, perovskites, and 2D material/perovskite heterostructures with future perspectives.

Abstract
Under the groundswell of calls for the industrialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), wide-bandgap (>1.7 eV) mixed halide perovskites are equally or more appealing in comparison with typical bandgap perovskites when the former's various potential applications are taken into account. In this review, the progress of wide-bandgap organic-inorganic hybrid PSCs-concentrating on the compositional space, optimization strategies, and device performance-are summarized and the issues of phase segregation and voltage loss are assessed. Then, the diverse applications of wide-bandgap PSCs in semitransparent devices, indoor photovoltaics, and various multijunction tandem devices are discussed and their challenges and perspectives are evaluated. Finally, the authors conclude with an outlook for the future development of wide-bandgap PSCs.

Abstract
Spontaneous enhancement of the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) after aging has been reported, but the underlying reasons for such behavior are still under debate. Herein, we demonstrate that this spontaneous improvement effect accompanied by self-attenuation of hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics is time- and temperature-dependent. Moreover, it is universal to PSCs based on a range of mixed-ion perovskites and coupled to different hole- and electron-transporting materials. Time-resolved confocal fluorescence microscopy and other characterization techniques suggest that the "self-healing" phenomenon is accompanied by the homogenization and enhancement of the charge extraction efficiency as well as suppressed recombination throughout cm2-scale perovskite layers. These dynamic effects need to be accounted for when assessing the initial and stabilized performance of PSCs.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted extensive attention, and their certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) has reached 25.5%. However, the instability of the high-efficiency 3-dimensional (3D) perovskite against ambient conditions (moisture, light and thermal) and the existing defects severely limit its practical applications and commercialization. Unlike 3D perovskites, the large hydrophobic spacer cations in low-dimensional (2D, 1D, and 0D) perovskites are able to effectively improve the stability, but they also weaken the light absorption range and hinder charge transport. The construction of a low-dimensional/3D perovskite multidimensional structure, which can combine the advantages of the high stability of low-dimensional perovskites and the superior efficiency of 3D perovskites, is proposed to achieve high efficiency and ultrastability. Moreover, the proper incorporation of low-dimensional perovskite into 3D perovskite can passivate defects and inhibit ion migration. Herein, this article summarizes the recent research progress of low-dimensional/3D perovskite multidimensional structures for PSCs and provides some perspectives toward developing stable and efficient PSCs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal halide perovskites (2D MHPs) are promising candidates for transistor channel materials because of their high mobility in the lateral direction; however, Sn-based 2D MHPs exhibit poor film quality and oxidation stability. Here, we report a simple method to improve the performance and stability of 2D MHP transistors by incorporating sodium iodide (NaI) additives. By adding 1 vol % NaI (Na1), the transistors with phenethylammonium tin iodide (PEA2SnI4) exhibited reduced dual-sweep hysteresis, robust bias stability, and larger hole mobility (2.13 cm2 V-1 s-1) than that of a pristine device (0.39 cm2 V-1 s-1). Improvements in the film quality, such as increased grain size, crystallinity, and better film coverage, were observed in the PEA2SnI4:NaI film. In addition, NaI effectively passivated the iodine vacancies at the grain boundaries, thereby suppressing the defects.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed tremendous progress in metal halide perovskites, particularly in lead (Pb) halide perovskites, because of their extraordinary performance in cutting-edge optoelectronic devices. However, the toxicity of Pb and the environmental stability of the perovskites are two major issues that this field is currently facing. In recent years, 2D layered perovskites have emerged as a promising alternative to the traditional 3D perovskites due to their structural flexibility and higher environmental stability, though they lack the desired level of device efficiency. Doping with target ions can drastically tune the crystal structure, optical properties, charge recombination dynamics, and electronic properties of the 2D perovskite. Although the field of doping in 2D perovskites has seen substantial growth in recent times, no comprehensive review is available on the recent advances in doping of 2D perovskites and its effect on the optoelectronic properties. In this review, we summarize the progress in doping in 2D perovskites based on different doping sites including progress in different synthesis strategies and their impact on crystal structures and various optoelectronic properties. We then highlight the recent achievements in doped 2D perovskites for photovoltaic, LED and other emerging applications. Finally, we conclude with the challenges and the future scope in the doping studies of 2D layered perovskites, which need to be addressed for further developments of next-generation 2D perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic perovskites face the issues of being vulnerable to oxygen and moisture and the trap sites located at the surface and grain boundaries. Integration of two-dimensional (2D) perovskites as a capping layer is an effective route to enhance both photovoltaic efficiency and environmental stability of the three-dimensional (3D) underlayer. Here, we employ 1,4-butanediammonium diiodide (BDADI), which has a short chain length and diammonium cations, to construct a 3D/2D stacking perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The introduction of BDA2+ could passivate surface defects in 3D perovskites by forming 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phase perovskites and effectively suppressing nonradiative recombination, thus resulting in a longer carrier lifetime. The DJ 2D capping layer also regulate the energy level arrangement, enabling a better charge extraction and transport process. In addition, the water-resistance ability of 3D perovskite gets improved because of the hydrophobic characteristic of 1,4-butanediammonium cations. Consequently, the 3D/2D stacking PSCs yield an energy conversion efficiency of 20.32% in company with the enhanced long-term stability.

Abstract
2D metal-halide perovskites have attracted intense research interest due to superior long-term stability under ambient environments. Compared to their 3D analog, the alternate arrangement of organic and inorganic layers leads to forming a multilayer quantum well (MQW), which endows 2D perovskites with anisotropic optoelectronic properties. In addition, the spacer layer functions as a hydrophobic barrier to effectively prevent 2D perovskite films from ion migration and moisture penetrating, thus realizing outstanding stability. Recently, 2D perovskites have been widely developed with abundant species. The stunning photovoltaic performance with the coexistence of long-term stability and high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) has been realized in 2D perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which paves an avenue for commercialization of PSCs. This review begins with an introduction of crystal structure and crystallization kinetics to illustrate the unique layer characters in 2D perovskites. Then, electron structure, excitons, dielectric confinement, and intrinsic stability properties are discussed in detail. Next, the photovoltaic performance based on recent Ruddlesden-Popper (RP), Dion-Jacobson (DJ), and alternating cations in the interlayer (ACI) phase 2D-PSCs is comprehensively summarized. Finally, the confronting challenges and strategies toward structural design and optoelectronic studies of 2D perovskites are proposed to offer insight into the advanced underlying properties of this family of materials.

Abstract
Organic spacers play an important role in 2D/3D hybrid perovskites, which could combine the advantages of high stability of 2D perovskites and high efficiency of 3D perovskites. Here, a class of aromatic formamidiniums (ArFA) was developed as spacers for 2D/3D perovskites. It is found that the bulky aromatic spacer ArFA in 2D/3D perovskites could induce better crystalline growth and orientation, reduce the defect states, and enlarge spatially resolved carrier lifetime thanks to the multiple NH···I hydrogen-bonding interactions between ArFA and inorganic [PbI6]4- layers. As a result, compared to the control device with efficiency of 19.02%, the 2D/3D perovskite device based on such an optimized organic salt, namely benzamidine hydrochloride (PhFACl), exhibits a dramatically improved efficiency of 22.39% along with improved long-term thermal stability under 80 °C over 1400 h. Importantly, a champion efficiency of 23.36% was further demonstrated through device engineering for PhFACl-based 2D/3D perovskite solar cells. These results indicate the great potential of this class of ArFA spacers in highly efficient 2D/3D perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
In this work, we report a family of co-halogenated two-dimensional hybrid perovskites (2DHPs) based on phenethylammonium lead halogen ((PEA)2Pb(Cl/Br)4) in which the organic cation-site (PEA) is substituted with halogen at the para-site, namely the formation of 4-halophenethylamine (X-p-PEA) (X = Cl, Br; p: para-site). The organic cations are regulated by introducing halogen ions at the para-site of the benzene ring to promote the structural distortion of the lead halide octahedral inorganic layer. Furthermore, (X-p-PEA) causes a shift in the energy band distribution of 2DHPs. In this case, the photoluminescence competition of free excitons (FEs) and self-trapped excitons (STEs) changes the microscopic relaxation process of excitons. In addition, we found that (Br-p-PEA) can increase the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). At the same time, we regulate the halogen-site of perovskites from lead-chloride perovskites (LCPs) to lead bromine perovskites (LBPs), achieving emission from white light to blue light. Therefore, the co-halogenation regulation strategy of organic cation-site and halogen-site can effectively regulate the photoluminescence wavelength and improve the PLQY. This is of great significance for the development of perovskite materials with specific optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Because of the facile formation of defects in organometal halide perovskites, the defect passivation has become an important prerequisite for the stable and efficient perovskite solar cell (PSC). Regarding that ionic defects of the perovskites play a significant role on the performance and stability of PSCs, we introduce lithium fluorides as effective passivators based on their strong ionic characteristics and small ionic radii. Both Li+ and F- are observed to successfully incorporate within the perovskite layer, improving the device performances with the best efficiency over 20%, while the hysteresis effects are significantly reduced, confirming the passivation of perovskite defects. Moreover, LiF restrains both thermal degradation and photodegradation of PSCs, where over 90% of the initial efficiencies have been retained by LiF-incorporated devices for more than 1000 h under either 1 sun illumination or 85 °C thermal condition. As the trap density of states is analyzed before and after the thermal stress, not only the mitigation of electronic traps as fabricated but also the dramatic relaxation of traps during the postannealing step is observed with the LiF incorporation. From this work, LiF has shown its potential as a promising ionic passivator, and the phenomenal achievement of device stability by LiF provides a clear insight to overcome the stability issues of PSCs, a key to the commercialization of next-generation photovoltaics.

Abstract
Engineering 2D/3D perovskite interfaces is a common route to realizing efficient and stable perovskite solar cells. Whereas 2D perovskite's main function in trap passivation has been identified and is confirmed here, little is known about its 2D/3D interface properties under thermal stress, despite being one of the main factors that induces device instability. In this work, we monitor the response of two typical 2D/3D interfaces under a thermal cycle by in situ X-ray scattering. We reveal that upon heating, the 2D crystalline structure undergoes a dynamical transformation into a mixed 2D/3D phase, keeping the 3D bulk underneath intact. The observed 3D bulk degradation into lead iodide is blocked, revealing the paramount role of 2D perovskite in engineering stable device interfaces.
