Chemically Anchored PbS-2PACz CQDs Inks for Scalable HTL in Narrow-Bandgap and All-Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 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
Mixed-metal narrow-bandgap (NBG) Sn-Pb perovskites are essential for achieving high-efficiency all-perovskite tandem solar cells (APTSCs). However, their single-junction performance is limited by interfacial recombination and inefficient charge extraction, due to non-uniform hole transport layers (HTLs). Here, PbS-2PACz colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are synthesized, chemically anchoring [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid (2PACz) onto PbS CQDs via solution-phase ligand exchange. The resulting PbS-2PACz CQD ink demonstrates excellent colloidal stability in weakly polar solvents and yields uniform, defect-suppressing films on perovskites. To further enhance the perovskite/HTL interface, an additional 2PACz treatment deepens the valence band (-5.60 eV), reduces trap density, and optimizes energy-level alignment. Consequently, NBG perovskite solar cells utilizing PbS-2PACz with additional 2PACz achieve power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 22.84% ± 0.55, exceeding devices using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and 2PACz self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Integrated into APTSCs with a 1.77 eV wide-bandgap top cell, PbS-2PACz achieves a PCE of 25.05% ± 0.41, significantly outperforming PEDOT:PSS-based tandems (21.60% ± 0.91). This work highlights PbS-2PACz as an effective HTL material that enhances hole extraction, reproducibility, and scalability for high-performance perovskite solar cells.
