Minimizing interfacial energy losses via multifunctional cage-like diammonium molecules for efficient perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells

The interfacial energy losses at the perovskite/electron selective contact interface remain an obstacle for perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells to approach its theoretical efficiency limit. Here, authors employ a cage-like diammonium chloride molecule to modulate interfacial dipole.

Antisolvent seeding of self-assembled monolayers for flexible monolithic perovskite/Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ tandem solar cells

The uneven surfaces of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cells pose challenges for depositing the upper layers in flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells. Ying et al. tackle this issue using an antisolvent and seeding strategy, resulting in a certified efficiency of 23.8%.

Polycrystalline silicon tunnelling recombination layers for high-efficiency perovskite/tunnel oxide passivating contact tandem solar cells

Silicon solar cells based on tunnel oxide passivating contact have industrial potential yet they are less investigated for tandem applications. Now Zheng et al. show a 28.67% certified efficiency for a perovskite/silicon tandem cell using a boron- and phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon connecting layer.

Long-chain anionic surfactants enabling stable perovskite/silicon tandems with greatly suppressed stress corrosion

Stress-induced instability of perovskite layers is a critical hurdle for commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Here, the authors introduce a long-alkyl-chain anionic surfactant additive to chemically ameliorate crystallization kinetics and demonstrate devices with long operational stability.

DNA N6-methyladenine is dynamically regulated in the mouse brain following environmental stress

N6-methyladenine is a covalent epigenetic modification of the genome. Here, Yao and colleagues show that N6-methyladenine level in the mouse brain is dynamic following environmental stress, and the subsequent differential gene expression is correlated with LINE transposon expression.

BCLAF1 and its splicing regulator SRSF10 regulate the tumorigenic potential of colon cancer cells

Alternative splicing often alters the biological function of proteins. Here, Zhou et al. show that the splicing factor SRSF10 directs the inclusion of exon5a in Bcl-2-associated transcription factor 1, and that this drives cell growth and tumorigenic potential in human colon cancer cells.

Ten-eleven translocation 2 interacts with forkhead box O3 and regulates adult neurogenesis

Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, play an important role in adult neurogenesis. Here the authors show that Tet2, which converts 5mC to 5hmC, interacts with the transcription factor Foxo3a and regulates critical genes related to the proliferation and differentiation of adult neural stem cells.

Loss of SRSF2 triggers hepatic progenitor cell activation and tumor development in mice

Chang Zhang, Lei Shen et al show that conditional deletion of the splicing factor Srsf2 in hepatocytes leads to activation and expansion of hepatic progenitor cells and eventually to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in aged mice. These findings may be relevant to HCC development in humans.
