There is considerable interest in improving the performance of organic optoelectronic devices through processing techniques. Here, we study the effect of high-temperature annealing on the properties of the semiconducting polymer PTB7 and PTB7:fullerene blends, of interest as efficient organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Annealing to moderate temperature improves the PTB7 morphology and optoelectronic properties. High-temperature annealing also improves morphology but results in poorer optoelectronic properties. This is a result of side chain cleavage that creates by-products that act as trap states, increasing electronic disorder and decreasing mobility. We further observe changes to the PTB7 chemical structure after thermal cleavage that are similar to those following solar irradiation. This implies that side chain cleavage is an important mechanism in device photodegradation, which is a major "burn-in" loss mechanism in OPV. These results lend insight into side chain cleavage as a method of improving optoelectronic properties and suggest strategies for improvement in device photostability.

The photoelectronic properties and corresponding applications of halide perovskites significantly depend on their band gaps and formation energy. However, experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are usually time consuming and laborious to obtain these properties. In this study, the formation energy, band gap, and band gap classification label of halide double perovskites were predicted in terms of material parameters via using the gradient boosting tree combined with the genetic algorithm and grid search algorithm.

Metal halide perovskites are known to suffer from instability due to their high sensitivity to external stimuli. Although encapsulation can considerably improve their stability, the impact of encapsulation on the intrinsic photophysical properties of perovskites remains unclear. Here, we investigate the effect of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) encapsulation on the photoluminescence (PL) dynamics of MAPbI perovskite crystals at the individual crystal level.

Optical detection and sensing have been widely applied to electrochemical systems, and their cutting-edge technology is creating current trends in operando characterization. The mass transfer at the electrode-electrolyte interface induces not only the electron exchange but also the changes in optical properties such as dielectric constants, resulting in detectable absorption or resonance signals. However, light-matter interactions are limited due to the inherently short optical path length of the interface.

Infected bone defects, caused by bacterial contamination following disease or injury, result in the partial loss or destruction of bone tissue. Traditional bone transplantation and other clinical approaches often fail to address the therapeutic complexities of these conditions effectively. In recent years, advanced biomaterials have attracted significant attention for their potential to enhance treatment outcomes.

Lead halide perovskites hold great promise for photovoltaics and optoelectronics, yet ion migration continues to challenge their long-term stability. Here, combining first-principles calculations and machine learning molecular dynamics, we unravel the interplay between perovskite octahedral lattice dynamics and energy barrier associated with ion migration. Our results show that B-site substitution, particularly with alkaline-earth and lanthanide elements, notably strengthens lattice interactions, restrains octahedral oscillation, and increases iodine-migration barriers, outperforming the commonly used A-site and X-site substitutions and interstitial doping.
