Heteroaryl derivatives for hole-transport layers improve thermal stability of perovskite solar cells.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The thermal stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) remains a critical challenge for their integration into power grid applications. Here, we report the thermally stable PSCs by employing heteroaryl additives in the Spiro-OMeTAD. These additives effectively control void formation in the hole-transport layer and minimize reactivity with the perovskite layer, significantly improving the thermal stability of PSCs at 85 °C. As a result, PSCs with 3-phenylpyridine and 2-phenylpyridine maintained 101% and 104% of their initial photoconversion efficiency after 2400 hours of 85 °C test, respectively. As an added benefit, photovoltaic performance achieved a photoconversion efficiency of 25%. Also, the outdoor test shows 90% of the initial power point voltage after 1570 hours with maximum-power point tracking, showing remarkable light and cycle stability. We revealed the mechanism of how the additive can improve the thermal stability of PSCs by comparing 36 heteroaryl derivatives and 60 additive combinations.
