In this review we highlight how electron microscopy and first principles modelling are powerful complementary tools for understanding properties of grain boundaries in polycrystalline energy materials. Thanks to all co-authors! @jquirk_cmt @MathiasThinks

A remarkably coherent and electronically benign interface between FAPbI3 and a 3R polytype of PbI2 is identified in this nice collaboration with the groups of Michael Johnston, Laura Herz and Peter Nellist @MathiasThinks @OxfordMaterials

Using scanning transmission electron microscopy, this study has imaged PbI2 embedded coherently within a cubic FAPbI3 lattice. The crystallographic differences between FAPbI3 and the commonly-found...

In this study we experimentally tested our prediction that incorporating Zr into surfaces of nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 should reduce electron trapping and successfully demonstrated an improvement in charge carrier mobility.
pubs.acs.org
First principles modeling of anatase TiO2 surfaces and their interfacial contacts shows that defect-induced trap states within the band gap arise from intrinsic structural distortions, and these can...

I’ve been a bit rubbish at posting papers on here when they get published so in the next few tweets I will post a selection from the last year.
