The intrinsic CuInSe2 surface is found to be largely passivated in terms of electronic defect levels in the band-gap region. However, surface oxidation leads to an overall high density of defect levels in conjunction with a considerable net surface dipole, which persists even after oxide removal. Yet, a subsequent annealing under vacuum restores the initial condition. Such oxidation/reduction cycles are reversible for many times providing robust control of the surface and interface properties in these materials. Based on ab initio simulations, a mechanism where oxygen dissociatively adsorbs and subsequently diffuses to a subsurface site is proposed as the initial step of the observed dipole formation.

However, the lack of highly reversible Zn2+-storage anode materials with low potential windows remains a primary concern. Here, we report a two-dimensional polyarylimide covalent organic framework (PI-COF) anode with high-kinetics Zn2+-storage capability. The well-organized pore channels of PI-COF allow the high accessibility of the build-in redox-active carbonyl groups and efficient ion diffusion with a low energy barrier. The constructed PI-COF anode exhibits a specific capacity (332 C g–1 or 92 mAh g–1 at 0.7 A g–1), a high rate capability (79.8% at 7 A g–1), and a long cycle life (85% over 4000 cycles). In situ Raman investigation and first-principle calculations clarify the two-step Zn2+-storage mechanism, in which imide carbonyl groups reversibly form negatively charged enolates. Dendrite-free full Zn-ion devices are fabricated by coupling PI-COF anodes with MnO2 cathodes, delivering excellent energy densities (23.9 ∼ 66.5 Wh kg–1) and supercapacitor-level power densities (133 ∼ 4782 W kg–1).

This metastable form and the mechanism of its stabilization by Cs+ and Br− incorporation are poorly characterized and insufficiently understood. We report here the vibrational properties of cubic FAPbI3 investigated by DFT calculations on phonon frequencies and intensities, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The effects of Cs+ and Br− partial substitution are discussed. We support our results with the study of FAPbBr3 which expands the identification of vibrational modes to the previously unpublished low frequency region (<500 cm−1). Our results show that the incorporation of Cs+ and Br− leads to the coupling of the displacement of the A-site components and weakens the bonds between FA+ and the PbX6 octahedra.

As the effect of the incorporated heavy alkali metals is under discussion, we investigated the local composition and microstructure of high efficiency CIGS solar cells via various high-resolution techniques in a combinatory approach. An accumulation of Cs is clearly detected at the p-n junction along with variations in the local CIGS composition, showing the formation of a beneficial secondary phase with a laterally inhomogeneous distribution. Additionally, Cs accumulations were detected at grain boundaries with a random misorientation of the adjacent grains where a reduced Cu concentration and increased In and Se concentrations are detected. No accumulation was found at Σ3 twin boundaries as well as the grain interior. These experimental findings are in excellent agreement with complementary ab-initio calculations, demonstrating that the grain boundaries are passivated by the presence of Cs. Further, it is unlikely that Cs with its large ionic radius is incorporated into the CIGS grains where it would cause detrimental defects.}}, author = {{Schöppe, Philipp and Schönherr, Sven and Chugh, Manjusha and Mirhosseini, Hossein and Jackson, Philip and Wuerz, Roland and Ritzer, Maurizio and Johannes, Andreas and Martínez-Criado, Gema and Wisniewski, Wolfgang and Schwarz, Torsten and T.
