Abstract
The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be improved through the concurrent strategies of enhancing charge transfer and passivating defects. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been demonstrated as a promising modifier for optimizing energy level alignment and reducing defect density in PSCs. However, its preparation process can be complicated. A simple one-step calcination approach was used in this study to prepare g-C3N4-modified TiO2via the incorporation of urea into the TiO2precursor. This modification simultaneously tunes the energy level alignment and passivates interface defects. The comprehensive research confirms that the addition of moderate amounts of g-C3N4to TiO2results in an ideal alignment of energy levels with perovskite, thereby enhancing the ability to separate and transfer charges. Additionally, the g-C3N4-modified perovskite films exhibit an increase in grain size and crystallinity, which reduces intrinsic defects density and extends charge recombination time. Therefore, the g-C3N4-modified PSC achieves a champion PCE of 20.00%, higher than that of the control PSC (17.15%). Our study provides a systematic comprehension of the interfacial engineering strategy and offers new insights into the development of high-performance PSCs.

Abstract
Ion accumulation in perovskite solar cells can be highly suppressed by a mesoporous TiO2 layer. This is evidenced by the decrease of the ion-related electrostatic potential with increasing the thickness of the mesoporous layer, accounted for by the electron population in the shallow trap states of the TiO2 nanocrystals.

Abstract
Grain boundary trap passivation in perovskite films has become one of the most effective strategies for suppressing the charge recombination and enhancing the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells, whereas the relevant trap-state properties and the charge carrier dynamics need to be further clarified. In this work, the CH3NH3Cl (MACl) additive is introduced into the MAI:PbI2 precursor solution to obtain perovskite films comprising various grain sizes with distinct grain boundaries and trap-state properties. The influence of grain boundary traps passivated with the MACl additive on trap-state properties and charge carrier transport/recombination dynamics is systematically studied with time-resolved spectroscopic and transient photoelectric characterization. Specifically, the MACl amount determines the content of the PbI2 residual in the final perovskite, leading to photoluminescence quenching induced by charge transfer. The trap-state distribution result reveals that the deep-level traps at the grain boundaries as the main sources of charge recombination centers are dramatically passivated. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy distinguishes and compares the trap-state emission related to different perovskite phases. Transient photoelectric measurements including photovoltage decay and charge extraction further demonstrate that the boundary trap passivation can effectively promote charge transport and inhibit charge recombination in devices treated with the optimized MACl amount. As a result, the corresponding device possesses superior photovoltaic parameters to the control device. This work proposes a systematic understanding of the grain boundary trap passivation strategy and provides a new insight into the development of high-performance perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
The in-gap electronic state (trap state) is an important factor that determines the photovoltaic performance of solar cells. In this article, we put forward a new technique for extracting the density of trap state (DOST) distribution based on the time-resolved charge extraction (TRCE) experiment result. Based on strict derivation, we find that when the TRCE result is linear, the extracted DOST distribution is exponential type and vice versa. Compared to the approach given by Wang et al., the method introduced in this paper is more accurate and reliable. Compared to the approach based on the space charge-limited current (SCLC) experiment result, our method needs less computation.

Abstract
The modification of the inorganic hole transport layer has been an efficient method for optimizing the performance of inverted perovskite solar cells. In this work, we propose a facile modification of a compact NiOx film with NiOx nanoparticles and explore the effects on the charge carrier dynamic behaviors and photovoltaic performance of inverted perovskite devices. The modification of the NiOx hole transport layer can not only enlarge the surface area and infiltration ability, but also adjust the valence band maximum to well match that of perovskite. The photoluminescence results confirm the acceleration of the charge separation and transport at the NiOx/perovskite interface. The corresponding device possesses better photovoltaic parameters than the device based on control NiOx films. Moreover, the charge carrier transport/recombination dynamics are further systematically investigated by the measurements of time-resolved photoluminescence, transient photovoltage and transient photocurrent. Consequently, the results demonstrate that proper modification of NiOx can significantly enlarge interface area and improve the hole extraction capacity, thus efficiently promoting charge separation and inhibiting charge recombination, which leads to the enhancement of the device performances. The NiOx layer modified with NiOx nanoparticles obtains surface property optimization and energy level modulation, thus improving charge transport and device performance.![]()

Abstract
Despite the outstanding photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells, the correlation between the electron transport layer and the mechanism of photoelectric conversion is still not fully understood. In this paper, the relationship between photovoltaic performance and carrier dynamics is systematically studied in both TiO2- and SnO2-based planar perovskite devices. It is found that the different electron transport layers result in distinct forward scan results and charge dynamics. Based on the charge dynamics results, the influence of the electron transport layer on charge carrier transport and charge recombination is revealed. More importantly, the trap-state density is characterized, which is proven to be related to the charge carrier dynamics and the specific hysteresis behaviour in the perovskite solar cells. The present work would provide new insights into the working mechanisms of electron transport layers and their effect on hysteresis. The underlying work mechanism of electron transport layers and their significant influence on photovoltaic performance are systematically studied.![]()

Abstract
Imperfections in the crystal lattice, such as defects, grain boundaries, or dislocations, can significantly affect the optical and electrical transport properties of materials. In this study, we report the effect of mid gap trap states on photocurrent in 10 atomic layered 2H-MoTe2. Our study reveals that the photocurrent is very sensitive to the number of active traps, which can be controlled by Vgs. By fitting the measured transient drain current, our estimation shows that the trap-state density is approximately 5 × 1011 cm-2. By analyzing the photocurrent data as a function of the gate voltage, we realize how the ionized traps affect the photoexcited carriers. The model of hole traps, electron traps, and recombination centers inside the band gap successfully describes our observed results.

Abstract
Self-assembly of organic sensitizer layers in cobalt complex-based DSCs was studied to elucidate its role in reducing the loss of charge recombination. DSCs with various dye loadings were fabricated by dye desorption without the aid of basic solvent. The FT-IR and UV results indicate the deprotonation of the anchoring organic sensitizers, which influences the conduction band of TiO2 remarkably by changing the surface potential. Positive band edge shifts and a decrease of the recombination rate constant are demonstrated to be the main factors affecting energy loss at open circuit. In contrast, absorbed photon conversion efficiency (APCE) analyses illuminate the crucial role of the packing of the anchoring sensitizer in reducing recombination loss at short circuit. This is further supported by numerical simulations, which show that APCE is primarily dependent on the recombination rate constant rather than the band edge shift at short circuit. These results highlight the importance of self-assembly of sensitizers with insulating groups in retarding charge recombination by forming overlapping molecular layers.

Abstract
The photovoltaic performance of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells has reached a bottleneck after rapid development in last few years. Further breakthrough in this field requires deeper understanding of the underlying mechanism of the photoelectric conversion process in the device, especially the dynamics of charge-carrier recombination. Originating from dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), mesoporous-structured perovskite solar cells (MPSCs) have shown many similarities to DSSCs with respect to their photoelectric dynamics. Herein, by applying the multiple-trapping model of the charge-recombination dynamic process for DSSCs in MPSCs, with rational modification, a novel physical model is proposed to describe the dynamics of charge recombination in MPSCs that exhibits good agreement with experimental data. Accordingly, the perovskite- and TiO2 -dominating charge-recombination processes are assigned and their relationships with the trap-state distribution are also discussed. An optimal balance between these two dynamic processes is required to improve the performance of mesoporous-structured perovskite devices.
