The C=O stretching [nu(C=O)] Raman bands of the carbonyl solvents, S (acetone and acetophenone), in some electrolytic solutions of lithium and sodium salts (M(+)X(-)) are analyzed. The large and negative values of the noncoincidence effect (NCE=nu(ani)-nu(iso)) measured for the component of this band generated by the solvent-ion interactions are interpreted in the light of the results of ab initio quantum chemical calculations performed for clusters of type (S)nM(+) and also on the basis of the transition dipole coupling mechanism between pairs of nu(C=O) oscillators. The effects of the size of the ion M(+) and of the solvation number n on the NCE are analyzed. It is shown that the decrease of the NCE resulting from the change in the size of the ion M(+) from Li(+) to Na(+) is appreciably counterbalanced by the increase of the NCE arising form the change in the ion solvation number n from 4 for Li(+) to 6 for Na(+).

Transition metal oxides (TMOs), especially zinc- and iron-based materials, are known to be one of the most innovative anode materials based on their high theoretical capacity, low price and abundant natural reserves. However, the application of these materials is limited by poor electronic conductivity, slow ion mobility and large structural transformations during charging/discharging processes. To overcome these drawbacks, sacrificial template technology has been proposed as a promising strategy to optimize the electrochemical performance and structure stability of TMOs, showing its potential especially in the storage design of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Time-reversal symmetry breaking of a topological insulator phase generates zero-field edge modes which are the hallmark of the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) and of possible value for dissipation-free switching or non-reciprocal microwave devices. But present material systems exhibiting the QAHE, such as magnetically doped bismuth telluride and twisted bilayer graphene, are intrinsically unstable, limiting their scalability. A pristine magnetic oxide at the surface of a TI would leave the TI structure intact and stabilize the TI surface, but epitaxy of an oxide on the lower-melting-point chalcogenide presents a particular challenge.

The design of mixed-dimensional heterostructures has emerged to be a new frontier of research as it induces exciting physical/chemical properties that extend beyond the fundamental properties of single dimensional systems. Therefore, rational design of heterostructured materials with novel surface chemistry and tailored interfacial properties appears to be very promising for the devices such as the gas sensors. Here, a highly sensitive gas sensor device is constructed by employing heterostructures of boron doped molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (B-MoS Qdots) assembled into the matrix of TiCT MXene.

Highly efficient nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) for organic solar cells (OSCs) with low energy loss (E) and favorable morphology are critical for breaking the efficiency bottleneck and achieving commercial applications of OSCs. In this work, quinoxaline-based NFAs are designed and synthesized using a synergistic isomerization and bromination approach. The π-expanded quinoxaline-fused core exhibits different bromination sites for isomeric NFAs, namely AQx-21 and AQx-22.

Formamidine lead iodide (FAPbI) quantum dots (QDs) have attracted great attention as a new generation of photovoltaic material due to their long carrier diffusion length, benign ambient stability, and light-harvesting ability. However, its large surface area with inherent thermodynamic instability and highly defective ionic termination are still major obstacles to fabricating high-performance devices. Herein, a metallic ion dopant is developed to post-treat FAPbI QDs immediately after their fabrication by using a metal-glutamate salt solution.
