Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
In article number 1501873, Mansoo Choi and co-workers demonstrate highly efficient transparent conductive oxide (TCO)-free inverted perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) solar cells by using a graphene transparent electrode. Careful engineering of the interface between the graphene electrode and the hole transport layer enables the highest energy conversion efficiency of 17.1% among TCO-free solar cells to be obtained.

Solar Water Splitting
For solar water-splitting, hematite (α-Fe2O3) is considered as one of the most promising photoanode materials with a theoretical solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of over ≈15%. However, the multiple electron/hole recombination pathways that occur in the bulk, interfaces, and surfaces largely limit its low-bias performance. In article number 1501840, Xiaolin Zheng and co-workers report a facile and rapid ‘Sol-flame’ approach to simultaneously reduce these recombinations for a hematite nanorods array photoanode, which leads to a greatly enhanced low-bias performance.
