Recently, a significant breakthrough has been achieved in the field of p-i-n type perovskite solar cells (PSCs) through a collaboration between the Intelligent Optoelectronic Devices Team, led by Senior Research Fellow Huang Peng at the Research Institute of Frontier Science (RIFS) at the University, and the team of Professor LI Yaowen from Soochow University (SUDA). The related findings have been published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition (Angew.), a top-tier international chemistry journal. The paper, entitled “Reversible Thermally Driven Phenyl Torsion in Self-Assembled Monolayers Releases Strain for Heat-Resilient Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells”, has been selected as a Very Important Paper (VIP). Angew. is classified as a CAS Q1 Top Journal with an impact factor of 17.0. Southwest Jiaotong University is listed as the first affiliation, and Ren Lingying, a third-year master candidate jointly affiliated with the Research Institute of Frontier Science and the School of Materials Science and Engineering, is the first author.

Founded in 1987 and renowned globally for its academic quality, Angew. is a highly influential chemistry journal published under the German Chemical Society, which disseminates research results in all branches of chemistry.

The Intelligent Optoelectronic Devices team at SWJTU was established in August 2022. Under the leadership of Senior Research Fellow Huang Peng, the team focuses on the study of PSCs and other novel optoelectronic devices. Since its inception, the team has published over 10 research articles in high-level journals such as Angew., Advanced Materials, and Advanced Energy Materials, demonstrating strong scientific research and innovation capabilities.
