1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Tackling nonradiative recombination at the perovskite surface is critical yet challenging for unlocking the full potential of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Although conventional surface passivation effectively reduces trap state density, providing crucial benefits, it will inevitably modify surface energetics that may compromise carrier dynamics and then constrain device performance. Here, we develop a strategy to control the energy-level shifting by passivators through modulation of intermolecular hydrogen bond formation (N─H…N) between the two effective passivators, enabling effective n-type shift at the perovskite surface while sustaining sufficient defect passivation. This strategy featuring tunable energy levels demonstrates versatile compatibility across various perovskite compositions, indicating universal applicability. Consequently, surface trap-mediated nonradiative charge recombination is suppressed, resulting in a champion single-junction inverted wide-bandgap (1.68 electron volts) PSC with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.04%. We thereby demonstrate a champion PCE of 33.63% in 1-square centimeter two-terminal monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem (certified 33.48%). These results validate tunable energy levels in passivators as an essential solution for interfacial recombination, improving the efficiency and stability of single-junction PSCs and their tandem devices.
