Abstract :
Solar cell interfaces, including grain boundaries, twin boundaries, stacking faults, and phase boundaries, are the main nonradiative recombination and degradation sites and affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of solar cells, making it necessary to understand their fine structures and properties. Electron microscopy has provided micrometer/nanometer/atomic-scale structural information for investigating the microstructure of materials to unravel the structure-performance relationships of solar cells. Electron microscopy and related techniques have recently been used to investigate solar cell interfaces, but there has been no systematic summary of this research. In recent years, advances in technologies such as electron microscopy imaging, electron spectroscopy, in situ electron microscopy, and detectors have greatly expanded researchers' understanding of the interface properties of solar cells. This Review covers the research on the interfaces in perovskite/silicon/CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS) solar cells using electron microscopy and provides prospects for further progress.

Abstract :
The photocatalytic two-electron O-2 reduction reaction (2e(-) ORR) for high-value hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production is attracting widespread attention as a green and promising research pathway. Despite multiple optimization strategies, the current 2e(-) ORR systems remain constrained by photogenerated carrier recombination and slow O-2 reduction kinetics. Therefore, a refined photocatalyst design is urgently needed to overcome these constraints, enabling enhanced H2O2 activity and deeper exploration of reaction mechanisms. Here, we design surface defect sites (N vacancies) and oxygen-affine CoOx nanoclusters on polymeric carbon nitride (CN) to break through the above limitations for enhanced photocatalytic H2O2 production. The introduction of N vacancies significantly enhances the photogenerated carrier separation, and highly active CoOx nanoclusters optimize the surface reaction process from O-2 to H2O2, synergistically improving the activity and selectivity of H2O2 production. The designed photocatalyst (CoOx-NvCN) achieves a H2O2 production rate of 244.8 mu mol L-1 h(-1) in pure water, with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 5.73% at 420 nm and a solar-to-chemical energy conversion (SCC) efficiency of 0.47%, surpassing previously reported CN-based photocatalysts. Importantly, experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that N vacancies optimize the photoelectronic response characteristics of the CN substrate, while the CoOx nanoclusters promote O-2 adsorption and activation, reducing the formation energy barrier for crucial intermediate *OOH, thereby accelerating H2O2 generation. This work provides a feasible approach to the photocatalyst design strategy that simultaneously facilitates photogenerated carrier separation and effective active sites for high-performance H2O2 production.

Abstract :
As an implementation tool of data intensive scientific research methods, machine learning (ML) can effectively shorten the research and development (R&D) cycle of new materials by half or even more. ML shows great potential in the combination with other scientific research technologies, especially in the processing and classification of large amounts of material data from theoretical calculation and experimental characterization. It is very important to systematically understand the research ideas of material informatics to accelerate the exploration of new materials. Here, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the most commonly used ML modeling methods in material informatics with classic cases. Then, we review the latest progresses of prediction models, which focus on new processing-structure-properties-performance (PSPP) relationships in some popular material systems, such as perovskites, catalysts, alloys, two-dimensional materials, and polymers. In addition, we summarize the recent pioneering researches in innovation of material research technology, such as inverse design, ML interatomic potentials, and microtopography characterization assistance, as new research directions of material informatics. Finally, we comprehensively provide the most significant challenges and outlooks related to the future innovation and development in the field of material informatics. This review provides a critical and concise appraisal for the applications of material informatics, and a systematic and coherent guidance for material scientists to choose modeling methods based on required materials and technologies.

Abstract :
Single-atom Fe catalysts are considered as the promising catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the high electronegativity of the symmetrical coordination N atoms around Fe site generally results in too strong adsorption of *OOH intermediates on the active site, severely limiting the catalytic performance. Herein, a "heteroatom pair synergetic modulation" strategy is proposed to tailor the coordination environment and spin state of Fe sites, enabling breaking the shackles of unsuitable adsorption of intermediate products on the active centers toward a more efficient ORR pathway. The unsymmetrically Co and B heteroatomic coordinated Fe single sites supported on an N-doped carbon (FeBCo/NC) catalyst perform excellent ORR activity with high half-wave potential (E-1/2) of 0.891 V and a large kinetic current density (J(k)) of 60.6 mA cm(-2), which is several times better than those of commercial Pt/C catalysts. By virtue of in situ electrochemical impedance and synchrotron infrared spectroscopy, it is observed that the optimized Fe sites can effectively accelerate the evolution of O-2 into the *O intermediate, overcoming the sluggish OO bond cleavage of the *OOH intermediate, which is responsible for fast four-electron reaction kinetics.

Abstract :
As a promising metal-free photocatalyst, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is still limited by insufficient visible light absorption and rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers, resulting in low photocatalytic activity. Here, we adjusted the microstructure of the pristine bulk-g-C3N4 (PCN) and further loaded silver (Ag) nanoparticles. Abundant Ag nanoparticles were grown on the thin-layer g-C3N4 nanosheets (CNNS), and the Ag nanoparticles decorated g-C3N4 nanosheets (Ag@CNNS) were successfully synthesized. The thin-layer nanosheet-like structure was not only beneficial for the loading of Ag nanoparticles but also for the adsorption and activation of reactants via exposing more active sites. Moreover, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect induced by Ag nanoparticles enhanced the absorption of visible light by narrowing the band gap of the substrate. Meanwhile, the composite band structure effectively promoted the separation and transfer of carriers. Benefiting from these merits, the Ag@CNNS reached a superior hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) yield of 120.53 mu mol/g/h under visible light irradiation in pure water (about 8.0 times higher than that of PCN), significantly surpassing most previous reports. The design method of manipulating the microstructure of the catalyst combined with the modification of metal nanoparticles provides a new idea for the rational development and application of efficient photocatalysts.

Abstract :
Polymeric carbon nitride (C3N4) is a very attractive candidate to produce photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) due to its low-cost, metal-free characteristics. However, the low efficiency would limit its development to higher yields because of insufficient light absorption and electron-hole separation. Here, we developed a simple method to anchor CN quantum dots (QDs) onto g-C3N4 nanosheets to form a homojunction structure (HJ-C3N4), which could improve photocatalytic performance largely without introducing metal elements. Its superior efficiency is a result of the band alignment by the homojunction structure providing excellent electron-hole separation and QDs providing suppressed recombination. Simultaneously, the light responsiveness of QDs endows a wide spectrum-responsive adsorption and enhances the adsorption intensity. The H2O2 yield of the HJ-C3N4 reached 115 mu mol L-1 h(-1) in pure water by visible light, which has an 8.6x higher production than g-C3N4 nanosheets. The material design of 0D/2D homojunction could be extended to other materials with specific band alignment.

Abstract :
The main aspects of material research: material synthesis, material structure, and material properties, are interrelated. Acquiring atomic structure information of electron beam sensitive materials by electron microscope, such as porous zeolites, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, metal-organic frameworks, is an important and challenging task. The difficulties in characterization of the structures will inevitably limit the optimization of their synthesis methods and further improve their performance. The emergence of integrated differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (iDPC-STEM), a STEM characterization technique capable of obtaining images with high signal-to-noise ratio under lower doses, has made great breakthroughs in the atomic structure characterization of these materials. This article reviews the developments and applications of iDPC-STEM in electron beam sensitive materials, and provides an outlook on its capabilities and development.

Abstract :
Phase transition is a physical phenomenon that attracts great interest of researchers. Although the theory of second-order phase transitions is well-established, their atomic-scale dynamics in polycrystalline materials remains elusive. In this work, second-order phase transitions in polycrystalline Cu2Se at the transition temperature are directly observed by in situ aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Phase transitions in microcrystalline Cu2Se start at the grain boundaries and extend inside the grains. This phenomenon is more pronounced in nanosized grains. Analysis of phase transitions in nanocrystalline Cu2Se with different grain boundaries demonstrates that grain boundary energy dominates unsynchronized phase transition behavior. This suggests that the energy of grain boundaries is the key factor influencing the energetic barrier for initiation of phase transition. The findings advance atomic-scale understanding of second-order phase transitions, which is crucial for the control of this process in polycrystalline materials.

Abstract :
Defect engineering modified graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been widely used in various photocatalytic systems due to the enhanced catalytic activity of multiple defect sites (such as vacancies or functional groups). However, the key mechanism of action in each defect site in the corresponding photocatalytic surface reactions is still unclear. Here, the -C N groups and N vacancies were sequentially introduced into g-C3N4 (Nv-C N-CN) for photocatalytic production of high-value and multifunctional H2O2, and the effect of dual defect sites on the overall photocatalytic conversion process was systematically analyzed. The modification of the dual defect sites forms an electron-rich structure and leads to a more localized charge density distribution, which not only enhances the light absorption and carrier separation capabilities, but also significantly improves the selectivity and activity of H2O2 generation. Importantly, detailed experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations clearly revealed the key role of each defect site in the photocataLytic H2O2 surface reaction mechanism: the N vacancies can effectively adsorb and activate O-2, and the -C N groups facilitate the adsorption of H+, which synergistically promote H2O2 generation. The Nv-C N-CN reached a H2O2 generation rate of 3093 mu moL g(-1)h(-1) and achieved an apparent quantum efficiency of 36.2% at 400 nm, significantly surpassing the previously reported g-C3N4-based photocatalysts. Meanwhile, a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.23% was achieved in pure water. Constructing defects and understanding their crucial role provides significant insights into the rational use of defect engineering to design and synthesize highly active catalytic materials for energy conversion and environmental remediation.

Abstract :
Silicon heterojunction solar cells are expected to increase their market share in the near future. Qu et al. identify an embedded nanotwin structure at the crystalline silicon/hydrogenated amorphous silicon interface of silicon heterojunction cells that limits the device performance and devise an approach to suppress its formation. The interface of high-quality crystalline silicon/hydrogenated amorphous silicon (c-Si/a-Si:H) is indispensable for achieving the ideal conversion efficiency of Si heterojunction solar cells. Therefore, it is extremely desirable to characterize and control the interface at the atomic scale. Here, we employ spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy to investigate the atomic structure of the c-Si/a-Si:H interface in high-efficiency Si heterojunction solar cells. Their structural evolution during in situ annealing is visualized at the atomic scale. High-density embedded nanotwins, detrimental to the device performance, are identified in the thin epitaxial layer between c-Si and a-Si:H. The nucleation and formation of these nanotwins are revealed via ex situ and in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Si heterojunction solar cells with low-density nanotwins are fabricated by introducing an ultra-thin intrinsic a-Si:H buffer layer and show better performance, indicating that the strategy to restrain embedded nanotwins can further enhance the conversion efficiency of Si heterojunction solar cells.
