Abstract Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have garnered significant attention as promising photovoltaic materials due to their tunable optoelectronic properties enabled by surface chemistry. Among them, AgBiS 2 NCs stand out an attractive candidate for solar cell applications environmentally friendly composition, high absorption coefficients, and low‐temperature processability. However, NC photovoltaics generally exhibit lower power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared other NC‐based devices, primarily numerous traps that serve recombination sites, leading a short diffusion length free carriers. To address this challenge, work develops donor acceptor blended (D/A) films. Through ligand modulation, formulates inks with suitable electrical band alignment charge separation, while ensuring they are fully miscible in the same solvent. This fabrication of high‐quality, thickness‐controllable D/A‐blended junction finds approach effectively facilitates carrier enhanced lifetime length. As result, using approach, achieves films twice thick conventional improvements current density PCE 8.26%.

Heteronanocrystals (HNCs) composed of colloidal lead halide perovskites and chalcogenides always offer unique photoelectric properties. Nevertheless, synthesizing perovskite-chalcogenide HNCs has been a tough challenge due to their completely different growth dynamics. Here, we present an effective strategy synthesize Janus CsPbBr3-AgBiS2 by in situ CsPbBr3 NCs on prepared AgBiS2 quantum dot (QDs). The as-synthesized show large range absorption characteristics from visible near-infrared (NIR) wavebands. Femtosecond transient (TA) spectroscopy reveals the transfer both electron hole AgBiS2. enhanced exciton dissociation 150 °C leads photoconductors with drastically improved responsivity (R 183.8 A W-1) specific detectivity (D* 5.0 × 1014 Jones). This work not only provides reliable method for combining ionic covalent but also great potential future practical applications, such as NC (QD) solar cell.
