19.5% Inverted organic photovoltaic with record long-lifetime via multifunctional interface engineering featuring radical scavenger.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Advances in improving the operational lifetime of highly efficient organic photovoltaic (OPV) and understanding photo-degradation mechanisms in molecular level are currently limited, especially on the promising inverted OPV, posing critical challenges to commercialization. Here, we demonstrate a radical scavenger (3-(3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid) capped ZnO (BHT@ZnO) nanoparticles as the electron transport layer providing effective surface oxygen vacancy passivation and reactive radical capture capability. Encouragingly, this BHT@ZnO-based empowered device achieves a record inverted OPV efficiency of 19.47% (Certificated efficiency: 18.97%). The devices demonstrate light soaking-free behavior, long-term stability under ISOS-D-1 (94.2% PCE retention after 8904 h in ambient) and ISOS-L-1 testing protocol (81.5% PCE retention after 7724 h in MPP). More importantly, we elucidate detailed degradation mechanism in OPV involving selectively catalytic degradation of donor and acceptor by superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, respectively, as well as the degradation pathway of polymer donor upon radiation exposure. Performance enhancement and mechanism comprehension provide strong support for the development of OPV technology.
