Molecular interactions between iodine and various neuroleptics were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Iodine was found to form charge transfer complexes in a 1:1 stoichiometry and of n-sigma type with these molecules. The values of the formation constants Kc of these iodinated complexes indicate a strong donor-acceptor interaction. These drugs can therefore be expected to interfere with thyroid metabolism.

Although metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been extensively used as fluorescent-based antibiotic sensors, newly developed hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are largely unexplored toward this direction. To realize this, the luminescent HOFs must be stable in water as the analytes are mostly found in water-based effluents in environments. In addition, HOFs should be equipped with specific recognition sites in order to direct the discrimination among the antibiotics.

Transition metal carbides, known as MXenes, particularly TiCT, have been extensively explored as promising materials for electrochemical reactions. However, transition metal carbonitride MXenes with high nitrogen content for electrochemical reactions are rarely reported. In this work, transition metal carbonitride MXenes incorporated with Pt-based electrocatalysts, ranging from single atoms to sub-nanometer dimensions, are explored for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for hydrogen production is a promising technology for sustainable energy generation. In this work, we introduce Nd sites boost the PEC performance of FeO photoanodes through a precise gas-phase cation exchange process, which substitutes surface Fe atoms with Nd. The incorporation of Nd significantly enhances charge transfer properties, increases carrier concentration, and reduces internal resistance, leading to a substantial increase in photocurrent density from 0.

Y6 homojunction solar cells are prepared using the exciton/electron-blocking material poly[9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-alt-N-(4-sec-butylphenyl)diphenylamine] (TFB) as a secondary hole transport layer material in conjunction with PEDOT:PSS. Using this device architecture, a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.57% is achieved, which is the highest reported thus far for a solution-processed small molecule homojunction organic photovoltaic (OPV) device.

Self-sustaining mechanical energy harvesting devices are pivotal for developing durable energy-efficient systems, providing scalable and adaptable solutions to wearable technology. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) efficaciously convert ambient mechanical energy into usable electrical power to sustainably drive modern electronics. Surface and structural engineering is an avenue to boost TENGs' energy harvesting through modulating contact interfaces and charge transfer interactions between the constituent layers.
