Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have become one of the most promising materials for optoelectronics. Understanding the dynamics of the charge transfer from MAPbI QDs to the charge transport layer (CTL) is critical for improving the performance of MAPbI QD photoelectronic devices. However, there is currently less consensus on this. In this study, we used an ultrafast transient absorption (TA) technique to investigate the dynamics of charge transfer from MAPbI QDs to CTL titanium dioxide (TiO), elucidating the dependence of these kinetics on QD size with an injection rate from 1.6 × 10 to 4.3 × 10 s. A QD solar cell based on MAPbI/TiO junctions with a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.03% was fabricated, indicating its great potential for application in high-performance solar cells.

Pyrogenic carbons (PCs), with varying structures depending on the materials and thermal treatment conditions, have been extensively used to enhance anaerobic digestion by mediating electron transfer. However, the underlying mechanism has yet to be explored. Herein, the redirection and enhancement of the direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) pathway were evidenced, along with the upregulated electrochemical properties and structural proteins in the methanogenic consortia.

Antimony (Sb) contamination in water resources poses a critical environmental and health challenge globally. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are employed to reduce SO to S for removing Sb in a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). Yet, the reduction efficiency of reducing SO and Sb(Ⅴ) through SRB remains relatively low, and the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Developing of molecular crystalline materials with light-induced multiple dynamic deformation in space dimension and photochromism on time scales has attracted much attention for its potential applications in actuators, sensoring and information storage. Nevertheless, organic crystals capable of both photoinduced dynamic effects and static color change are rare, particularly for multi-component cocrystals system. In this study, we first report the construction of charge transfer co-crystals allows their light-induced solid-to-liquid transition and photochromic behaviors to be controlled by trans-stilbene (TSB) as an electron donor and 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluorophthalonitrile (TFP) as an electron acceptor.

The femtosecond dynamics of energy transfer from light-excited spirilloxanthin (Spx) to bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a in the reaction centers (RCs) of purple photosynthetic bacteria Rhodospirillum rubrum was studied. According to crio-electron microscopy data, Spx is located near accessory BChl a in the B-branch of cofactors. Spx was excited by 25 fs laser pulses at 490 nm, and difference absorption spectra were recorded in the range 500-700 nm.
