  • Growth of high-quality III–V semiconductors for electronics and optoelectronics usually requires an atomic-lattice matched substrate. Here, the authors use templated liquid-phase crystal growth to create single-crystalline III–V material up to ten micrometres across on an amorphous substrate.

  • Surface wrinkling reduces the performance of mixed-halide perovskite solar cells. Here, the authors identify that sequential nucleation of bromide-rich and iodide-rich domains results in compositional heterogeneity and subsequent wrinkling.

  • Topochemical polymerization (TCP) emerges as a leading approach for synthesizing single crystalline polymers, but the untapped potential of performing TCP in a liquid medium with solid-state structural fidelity presents unsolved challenges. Here, the authors reveal details of single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation during the TCP of chiral azaquinodimethane monomers through in situ crystallographic analysis while spotlighting a rare metastable crystalline phase.

  • The black phase of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite is used to make highly efficient solar cells, and a technique to improve its purity and stability by controlling crystal nucleation could make them even better.

  • Non-radiative recombination loss suppression is critical for boosting performance of organic solar cells. Here, the authors regulate self-organization of bulk-heterojunction in a non-monotonic manner, and achieve device efficiency over 19% with low non-radiative recombination loss down to 0.168 eV.

  • Perovskite-based photovoltaics have already reached high efficiency levels but their stability under operating conditions remains a challenge. Here, Li et al. use defective TiO2with reduced photocatalytic efficiency to increase the stability of high efficiency solar cells under illumination

  • Complex phenomena are prevalent during the formation of materials, and they affect the processing structure-function relationship. Here the authors elucidate the stochastic transformation processes happening during the spin coating of perovskite colloidal precursors by multimodal characterization.

  • Perovskite solar cells have stability issues that prevent their widespread adoption as a photovoltaic technology. This Review explores how natural biomaterial structures have evolved to solve similar problems at the chemical, microstructural and macroscopic levels, and how these natural solutions can be applied to perovskite solar cells.

  • The use of doped-silicon contacts in silicon solar cells adds cost and complexity to the fabrication process. These issues can now be circumvented by using dopant-free carrier-selective interfaces on silicon, realized by alkali metal fluorides and metal oxides.
