Cation interdiffusion control for 2D/3D heterostructure formation and stabilization in inorganic perovskite solar modules

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Yong Ding, Xianfu Zhang

Inorganic perovskite solar cells could benefit from surface passivation using 2D/3D perovskite heterostructures. However, conventional spacer cations fail to exchange with the tightly bonded Cs cation in the inorganic perovskite to form 2D layers atop; or, ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis and Switchable Chiroptical Property of Inherently Chiral Macrocycles

Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong, Xianfu Zhang, Qiang Feng

We report herein a strategy to construct enantiopure inherently chiral macrocycles, ABCD-type heteracalix[4]-aromatics, through a catalytic enantioselective intramolecular C−N bond forming reaction. A chiral ligand-palladium complex was found to efficientl ...
