Molecular Dipole Buffer Layer Enabling Compact Interfaces in Perovskite Solar Cells.
Article in ACS energy letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Despite advances in p-i-n perovskite solar cells, interfacial losses between the electron transport layer (ETL) and metal electrode remain a bottleneck for efficiency and stability. Bathocuproine (BCP), a common buffer layer, suffers from poor film uniformity, low electron mobility, and limited thermal stability. Here, we report BTI-N, a D-A-D-type small molecule featuring a benzo-[c]-[1,2,5]-thiadiazole core and polar N,N-dimethylamino groups. BTI-N exhibits favorable molecular packing and solubility, enabling compact, uniform films with efficient electron transport. The polar termini anchor Ag electrodes via Ag-N dipole formation, lowering the work function and improving band alignment and charge extraction. BTI-N also suppresses Ag and I ion diffusion, significantly enhancing thermal stability. We demonstrate broad compatibility across ETLs (C
