The underlying hole-transfer mechanism in high-efficiency OSC bulk heterojunctions based on acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) remains unclear. Herein, we study the hole-transfer process between copolymer donor J91 and five A-D-A NFAs with different highest occupied molecular orbital energy offsets (Δ) (0.05-0.42 eV) via ultrafast optical spectroscopies. Transient absorption spectra reveal a rapid hole-transfer rate with small Δ, suggesting that a large energy offset is not required to overcome the exciton binding energy. Capacitance-frequency spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra confirm the delocalization of an A-D-A-structured acceptor exciton with weak binding energy. Relative to the hole-transfer rate, hole-transfer efficiency is the key factor affecting device performance. We propose that holes primarily stem from weakly bound acceptor exciton dissociation, revealing a new insight into the hole-transfer process in A-D-A NFA-based OSCs.

Rate coefficients for the reaction of CH with CHO were measured for the first time over the temperature range of 37-603 K, with the CH radicals produced by pulsed laser photolysis and detected by CH radical chemiluminescence following their reaction with O. The low temperature measurements (≤93 K) relevant to the interstellar medium were made within a Laval nozzle gas expansion, while higher temperature measurements (≥308 K) were made within a temperature controlled reaction cell. The rate coefficients display a negative temperature dependence below 300 K, reaching (1.

SnS holds great promise in optoelectronics, especially in photovoltaic devices, due to its exceptional intrinsic electronic properties and optimal optical absorption. However, its prospective applications are often limited by structural instability or oxidation, leading to internal or external defect states. This study proposes a mixed-phase SnS/h-BN heterostructure to enhance chemical and thermal stability while preserving the intrinsic optoelectronic properties of SnS.

To improve the toughness of the rice dough, protein transglutaminase (TGase) combined with sodium metabisulfite (SMB) modification was used. The influences of modification on rice dough and protein were investigated, and their physicochemical and structural characteristics were analyzed. Mechanical analysis results indicated that the tanδ and texture characteristics of the modified rice dough were close to those of the wheat dough.
