Here, we present, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, a systematic study of utilizing 2D correlation analysis in the field of femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy. We present that the application of 2D correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) to fs-TA spectroscopy enables a model-free means to analyze excited state kinetics, which is demonstrated on the model system [(tbbpy)Ru(dppz)] in different solvents. We show that TA-2DCOS is able to determine the number of processes contributing to the time-resolved spectral changes in fs-TA data sets, as well as extract the spectral response of these components. Overall, the results show that TA-2DCOS leads to the same results as obtained with methods relying on global lifetime analysis or multivariate curve resolution but without the need to specify a predetermined kinetic model. The work presented therefore highlights the potential of TA-2DCOS as a model-free approach for analyzing fs-TA spectral data sets.

Given their molecular properties and electronic structure, graphyne and graphdiyne are promising materials with numerous applications in different fields of material science. Dehydrobenzoannules (DBAs) are candidates that can serve as building blocks for synthesizing and designing new 2D carbon allotropes; however, only a few graphynes have been produced on a practical scale. Herein, we present our investigation of three DBAs, which serve as a model to understand the relationship between the structure and property, contributing to 2D carbon allotropes' rational design and synthetic effort.

Quasi-two-dimensional nanosheets exhibit novel properties and promising applications in optoelectronic flexible devices. Research on non-layered III-V semiconductor nanosheets has been constrained by their covalent bonding connections. In this study, GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction nanosheets were prepared by releasing an epitaxial layer, and their optical properties were investigated by adopting steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopy.

Modulation of singlet and triplet energy transfer from excited semiconductor nanocrystals to attached dye molecules remains an important criterion for the design of light-harvesting assemblies. Whereas one can consider the selection of donor and acceptor with favorable energetics, spectral overlap, and kinetics of energy transfer as a means to direct the singlet and triplet energy transfer pathways, it is not obvious how to control the singlet and triplet characteristics of the donor semiconductor nanocrystal itself. By doping CsPb(ClBr) nanocrystals with Mn, we have now succeeded in increasing the triplet characteristics of semiconductor nanocrystals.

The H-evolution kinetics play a pivotal role in governing the photocatalytic hydrogen-evolution process. However, achieving precise regulation of the H-adsorption and H-desorption equilibrium (H/H) still remains a great challenge. Herein, we propose a fine-tuning d-p hybridization strategy to precisely optimize the H/H kinetics in a Ni-B modified CdS photocatalyst (Ni-B/CdS).
