Abstract Peng et al. [Science 379 683 (2023)] reported an effective method to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells by using thicker porous insulator contact (PIC)-alumina nanoplates. This method overcomes the trade-off between the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor through two mechanisms: reduced surface recombination velocity and increased bulk recombination lifetime due to better perovskite crystallinity. From arguments of drift-diffusion simulations, we find that an increase in mobility and carrier recombination lifetime in bulk are the key factors for minimizing the resistance-effect from thicker PICs and achieving a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) at approximately 25% reduced contact area. Furthermore, the partially replacement of perovskite films with thicker PICs would result in a reduction in short-current density, but the relative low refractive index of the PICs imbedded into the high refractive index perovskite creates light trapping structures that compensate for this loss.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
