High-performance perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells enabled by multifunctional titanium oxynitride recombination layers

Nature Energy, Published online: 24 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-02116-4

The interconnected recombination layer is key to advance perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. Cao et al. show that titanium oxynitride reconciles the requirements for recombination layers, improving the efficiency and stability for tandem solar cells and modules.

Connecting single-cell transcriptomes to projectomes in the mouse visual cortex

Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10424-8

In the mouse visual cortex, multimodal cell-type definitions, gene expression patterns and cell location predict long-range projection targets of excitatory neurons, linking transcriptomic identity with morphological, electrophysiological and circuit-level properties.

Ambient-pressure conversion of plastic waste to jet fuel cycloalkanes by tandem hydropyrolysis and vapour-phase hydrogenation

Nature Energy, Published online: 27 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-02078-7

Converting plastic waste into jet fuel could support aviation decarbonization, but current approaches are limited by high-pressure requirements and low efficiency. Here the authors present a tandem hydropyrolysis and vapour-phase hydrogenation strategy that uses a Ru/Co-Al oxide catalyst, achieving promising rates and yields at low pressures.

Highly stable Mn–Sn flow batteries towards low-temperature energy storage
