TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that defect tolerance emerges from fundamental electronic-structure properties, including the orbital character of the conduction and valence band extrema, the chargecarrier effective masses, and the static dielectric constant.

TL;DR: Through MBI, this work demonstrates a lead-free and stable alternative to MAPbX3 that has a similar electronic structure and nanosecond lifetimes and found that MBI luminesces at room temperature, with the vapor-processed films exhibiting superior photoluminescence decay times that are promising for photovoltaic applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed screening criteria for defect-tolerant photovoltaic (PV) absorbers, identifying several classes of semiconducting compounds with electronic structures similar to those of hybrid lead-halide perovskites.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that SnS evaporates congruently, which provides facile composition control akin to cadmium telluride, and is described, as a promising absorber material in thin-film photovoltaic devices.

TL;DR: The power conversion efficiency of solar cells based on copper (I) oxide (Cu2 O) is enhanced by atomic layer deposition of a thin gallium oxide (Ga2 O3 ) layer that exhibits an open-circuit voltage and efficiency of 3.97%, showing potential of over 7% efficiency.
