Interface strains and lattice distortion are inevitable issues during perovskite crystallization. Silane as a coupling agent is a popular connector to enhance the compatibility between inorganic and ...organic materials in semiconductor devices. Herein, a protonated amine silane coupling agent (PASCA‐Br) interlayer between TiO2 and perovskite layers is adopted to directionally grasp both of them by forming the structural component of a lattice unit. The pillowy alkyl ammonium bromide terminals at the upper side of the interlayer provide well‐matched growth sites for the perovskite, leading to mitigated interface strain and ensuing lattice distortion; meanwhile, its superior chemical compatibility presents an ideal effect on healing the under‐coordinated Pb atoms and halogen vacancies of bare perovskite crystals. The PASCA‐Br interlayer also serves as a mechanical buffer layer, inducing less cracked perovskite film when bending. The developed molecular‐level flexible interlayer provides a promising interfacial engineering for perovskite solar cells and their flexible application.
A protonated amino silane coupling agent as an interlayer is exploited on rigid and flexible substrates, which not only sets up well‐matched growth underlay but also serves as a structural component of the lattice units, leading to less‐distorted perovskite films, resulting in an obvious advance in device performance, stability, and mechanical tolerance in the corresponding flexible device.

Organometallic halide perovskite films with good surface morphology and large grain size are desirable for obtaining high‐performance photovoltaic devices. However, defects and related trap sites are ...generated inevitably at grain boundaries and on surfaces of solution‐processed polycrystalline perovskite films. Seeking facial and efficient methods to passivate the perovskite film for minimizing defect density is necessary for further improving the photovoltaic performance. Here, a convenient strategy is developed to improve perovskite crystallization by incorporating a 2D polymeric material of graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) into the perovskite layer. The addition of g‐C3N4 results in improved crystalline quality of perovskite film with large grain size by retarding the crystallization rate, and reduced intrinsic defect density by passivating charge recombination centers around the grain boundaries. In addition, g‐C3N4 doping increases the film conductivity of perovskite layer, which is beneficial for charge transport in perovskite light‐absorption layer. Consequently, a champion device with a maximum power conversion efficiency of 19.49% is approached owing to a remarkable improvement in fill factor from 0.65 to 0.74. This finding demonstrates a simple method to passivate the perovskite film by controlling the crystallization and reducing the defect density.

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are currently attracting significant interest owing to their promising outdoor performance. However, the ability of indoor light harvesting of ...the perovskites and corresponding device performance are rarely reported. Here, the potential of planar PSCs in harvesting indoor light for low‐power consumption devices is investigated. Ionic liquid of 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4) is employed as a modification layer of 6,6‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester) (PCBM) in the inverted PSCs. The incorporation of BMIMBF4 not only paves the interface contact between PCBM and electrode, but also facilitates the electron transport and extraction owing to the efficient passivation of the surface trap states. Moreover, BMIMBF4 with excellent thermal stability can act as a protective layer by preventing the erosion of moisture and oxygen into the perovskite layer. The resulting devices present a record indoor power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 35.20% under fluorescent lamps of 1000 lux, and an impressive PCE of 19.30% under 1 sun illumination. The finding in this work verifies the excellent indoor performance of PSCs to meet the requirements of eco‐friendly economy.

The North Qaidam ultra-high pressure metamorphic (UHPM) belt in the northern Tibetan Plateau records a complete history of the evolution of a continental orogen from prior seafloor subduction, to ...continental collision and subduction, and to the ultimate orogen collapse in the time period from the Neoproterozoic to the Paleozoic. Lithologies in this UHPM belt consist predominantly of felsic gneisses containing blocks of eclogite and peridotite.
The 1120–900Ma granitic and psammitic/pelitic gneisses compose the majority of the UHPM belt and is genetically associated with the previous orogenic cycle of Grenville-age, whereas protoliths of the HUPM eclogites are of both the 850–820Ma continental flood basalts (CFBs) and the 540–500Ma oceanic crust (ophiolite). The early stage of quartz-stable eclogite-facies metamorphism took place at ~445–473Ma, the same age as that of the HP rocks in the North Qilian oceanic suture zone, representing the earliest subducting seafloor rocks exhumed and preserved. Coesite-bearing zircons from the metapelite and eclogite, diamond-bearing zircons from garnet peridotites constrain the UHP metamorphic age of ~438–420Ma, which represents the timing of continental subduction at depths of 100–200km, ~10–20m.y. younger than the early stage of the Qilian seafloor subduction. Therefore, deep subduction of continental crust should be the continuation of oceanic subduction that is pulled down by the sinking oceanic lithosphere or pushed down by the overriding upper plate, which is an expected and inevitable consequence for the scenario of passive continental margins. Partial melting of subducted ocean crust might occur in response to continental subduction at ~435Ma.
The UHPM rocks started to exhume accompanied by mountain building and deposition of Early Devonian molasses in the North Qilian region at ~420Ma. Decoupling of oceanic subduction zone and continent UHPM terranes may be attributed to the different exhumation path and mechanism between the subducted oceanic and continent crusts, or rollback of subduction zone. Decompression melting of UHP metamorphosed slab and continental crust during exhumation is responsible for the generation of adakitic melts and S-type granite. Mountain collapse and lithosphere extension happened in the period of ~400–360Ma and formed diorite–granite intrusions in the UHPM belt, which marked the end of a complete orogenic cycle.
This UHP metamorphic belt presents an example of multi-epoch tectonic recycles, represented by recombination of the Neoproterozoic Grenvillian orogenesis and the Early Paleozoic Caledonian orogenesis.

Pyrite catalyzes oxidation of various organic contaminants by dissolved oxygen (DO) under acidic conditions; however, the catalytic mechanism under alkaline conditions is still not clear. In this ...study, we observe increased oxidation rates of aniline with increasing pHs (7.0–11.0). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and quenching experiments rule out contributions of •OH, O2•−, 1O2 and Fe (IV) to aniline oxidation and suggest that the Fe (III)–OOH peroxo and/or H2O2 are the primary oxidative species in the oxidation of aniline at pH 11.0. In addition, 200 mg L−1 H2O2 does not apparently increase the oxidation rate of aniline, which also rules out the predominant contribution of the produced H2O2 to aniline oxidation. We therefore suggest that the Fe (III)–OOH peroxo is indeed the primary oxidative species in the pyrite–DO system under alkaline conditions. Analyses of solid total organic carbon (TOC), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy further reveal that more than 83.3% aniline has been polymerized to polyaniline, instead of being mineralized into CO2 and H2O, indicating that H‐ion from aniline by the Fe (III)–OOH peroxo is an important step in the oxidation of aniline under alkaline conditions. This study provides new insight into the oxidative species in the pyrite–DO system, and opens a new door for organic degradations under alkaline conditions.
The oxidation rate of aniline by pyrite and DO increases with increasing pHs. Fe (III)–OOH is primary oxidants in the pyrite–DO system under alkaline conditions. Fe (III)–OOH s H from aniline to form aniline radicals and then polyaniline.

•An environmental benign mechanochemical approach for cobalt and lithium recovery from spent LIBs was established.•Neither corrosive acid nor strong oxidant was necessary for the recovery ...process.•Li-EDTA and Co-EDTA metal chelates were formed by solid-solid reaction.
In the current study, an environmental benign process namely mechanochemical approach was developed for cobalt and lithium recovery from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The main merit of the process was that neither corrosive acid nor strong oxidant was applied. In the proposed process, lithium cobalt oxide (obtained from spent LIBs) was firstly co-grinded with various additives in a hermetic ball milling system, then Co and Li could be easily recovered by a water leaching procedure. It was found that EDTA was the most suitable co-grinding reagent, and 98% of Co and 99% of Li were respectively recovered under optimum conditions: LiCoO2 to EDTA mass ratio 1:4, milling time 4h, rotary speed 600r/min and ball-to-powder mass ratio 80:1, respectively. Mechanisms study implied that lone pair electrons provided by two nitrogen atoms and four hydroxyl oxygen atoms of EDTA could enter the empty orbit of Co and Li by solid-solid reaction, thus forming stable and water-soluble metal chelates Li-EDTA and Co-EDTA. Moreover, the separation of Co and Li could be achieved through a chemical precipitation approach. This study provides a high efficiency and environmentally friendly process for Co and Li recovery from spent LIBs.

Great efforts toward developing novel and efficient hole‐transporting materials are needed to further improve the device efficiency and enhance the cell stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). ...The poor film conductivity and the low carrier mobility of organic small‐molecule‐based hole‐transporting materials restrict their application in PSCs. This study develops an efficient and stable hole‐transporting material, tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4‐TCNQ)‐doped copper phthalocyanine‐3,4′,4′′,4′′′‐tetra‐sulfonated acid tetra sodium salt (TS‐CuPc) via a solution process, in planar structure PSCs. The p‐type‐doped TS‐CuPc film demonstrates improved film conductivity and hole mobility owing to the strong electron affinity of F4‐TCNQ. By the F4‐TCNQ tailoring, the composite film gives the highest occupied molecular orbital level as high as 5.3 eV, which is beneficial for hole extraction. In addition, the aqueous solution processed TS‐CuPc:F4‐TCNQ precursor is almost neutral with good stability for avoiding the electrode erosion. As a result, the fabricated PSCs employing TS‐CuPc:F4‐TCNQ as the hole‐transporting material exhibit a power conversion efficiency of 16.14% in a p–i–n structure and 20.16% in an n–i–p structure, respectively. The developed organic small molecule of TS‐CuPc provides the diversification of hole‐transporting materials in planar PSCs.
p‐Type‐doped copper phthalocyanine‐3,4′,4″,4″′‐tetra‐sulfonated acid tetra sodium salt (TS‐CuPc) by tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4‐TCNQ) with improved film conductivity and hole mobility is realized via a solution process. The composite film is used as a hole‐transporting layer in both p–i–n structure and n–i–p structure devices. A champion n–i–p structure device with a power conversion efficiency of 20.16% is obtained.

•LiCoO2/PVC/Fe were co-grinded and water-leaching process were performed for green recovery of Li.•Li was recovered in the form of LiCl, and Co was separately left in the ...co-processing residues, while PVC was dechlorinated.•The conversion rates of Li and Cl were 100% and 96.4%, respectively, while 91.9% of Co was remained in the residues to form magnetic material CoFexOy.
In the present study, cathode materials (C/LiCoO2) of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were co-processed via an innovative mechanochemical method, i.e. LiCoO2/PVC/Fe was co-grinded followed by water-leaching. This procedure generated recoverable LiCl from Li by the dechlorination of PVC and also generated magnetic CoFe4O6 from Co. The effects of different additives (e.g. alkali metals, non-metal oxides, and zero-valent metals) on (i) the conversion rates of Li and Co and (ii) the dechlorination rate of PVC were investigated, and the reaction mechanisms were explored. It was found that the chlorine atoms in PVC were mechanochemically transformed into chloride ions that bound to the Li in LiCoO2 to form LiCl. This resulted in reorganization of the Co and Fe crystals to form the magnetic material CoFe4O6. This study provides a more environmentally-friendly, economical, and straightforward approach for the recycling of spent LIBs and waste PVC compared to traditional processes.
