A new donor/acceptor (D-A) spiro dye (SCPDT1) featuring two bithiophene units, connected through an sp(3)-hybridized carbon atom, was prepared by a multistep synthetic sequence involving the convenient assembly of the spiro system under mild catalytic conditions. The photocurrent spectrum of dye-sensitized solar cells incorporating SCPDT1 covers the spectral region ranging from 350 to 700 nm and reaches a wide maximum of ~80% in the 420-560 nm range. Power conversion efficiencies of up to 6.02% were obtained.

Herin, the successful synthesis of a bis Schiff base (L) has been achieved using 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 1,3-diaminoguanidine as raw materials, which was further characterized by infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum. Moreover, spectroscopic experiments demonstrated that the probe L showed good selectivity and visual detectability for Al. Its detection limit (DL) is 2.

The interface between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer is an extremely important factor that cannot be ignored in achieving high-performance perovskite photovoltaic technology. However, the void defects of the interface pose a serious challenge for high performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). To address this, we report a polydentate ligand reinforced chelating strategy to strengthen the stability of the buried interface by managing interfacial defects and stress.

Nanocrystals are widely explored for a range of medical, imaging, sensing, and energy conversion applications. CdS nanocrystals have been reported as excellent photocatalysts, with thin film CdS also highly important in photovoltaic devices. To optimise properties of nanocrystals, control over phase, facet, and morphology are vital.

Plasmonic metasurfaces (PMs) exhibit extraordinary optical response due to surface lattice resonance, which is crucial for realizing high-performance photovoltaic device preparation. In this work, a nanopore confinement effect-mediated MOF@UsAu is proposed as a novel PM heterojunction for photovoltaic interfaces. 2D MOFs have the unique advantage of a tunable and ordered porous structure.

Medium-wide-bandgap (MWBG) organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have emerged as a promising category with distinctive application possibilities, especially in environments characterized by specific light conditions, such as indoor spaces. However, there are few high-efficiency MWBG acceptors, and most of them are constructed through high-cost fused central units, which limits the industrialization of MWBG OPV cells. Here, two completely nonfused MWBG acceptors, TBT-38 and TBT-43 with different alkoxy substituent positions on the thiophene rings, are synthesized.
