Metal halide perovskites are ideal candidates for indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) because of their easy-to-adjust bandgaps, which can be designed to cover the spectrum of any artificial light source. However, the serious non-radiative carrier recombination under low light illumination restrains the application of perovskite-based IPVs (PIPVs). Herein, polar molecules of amino naphthalene sulfonates are employed to functionalize the TiO substrate, anchoring the CsPbI perovskite crystal grains with a strong ion-dipole interaction between the molecule-level polar interlayer and the ionic perovskite film. The resulting high-quality CsPbI films with the merit of defect-immunity and large shunt resistance under low light conditions enable the corresponding PIPVs with an indoor power conversion efficiency of up to 41.2% (P : 334.11 µW cm , P : 137.66 µW cm ) under illumination from a commonly used indoor light-emitting diode light source (2956 K, 1062 lux). Furthermore, the device also achieves efficiencies of 29.45% (P : 9.80 µW cm ) and 32.54% (P : 54.34 µW cm ) at 106 (P : 33.84 µW cm ) and 522 lux (P : 168.21 µW cm ), respectively.

The reversibility and stability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are largely limited by free-water-induced side reactions (e.g., hydrogen evolution and zinc corrosion) and negative zinc dendrite growth.

Micrometer-sized silicon oxide (SiO) anodes encounter challenges in large-scale applications due to significant volume expansion during the alloy/de-alloy process. Herein, an innovative deep eutectic electrolyte derived from succinonitrile is introduced to enhance the cycling stability of SiO anodes. Density functional theory calculations validate a robust ion-dipole interaction between lithium ions (Li) and succinonitrile (SN).

The concept of employing highly concentrated electrolytes has been widely incorporated into electrolyte design, due to their enhanced Li-metal passivation and oxidative stability compared to their diluted counterparts. However, issues such as high viscosity and sub-optimal wettability, compromise their suitability for commercialization. In this study, we present a highly concentrated dimethyl ether-based electrolyte that appears as a liquid phase at ambient conditions via Li - solvents ion-dipole interactions (Coulombic condensation).

Dopamine (DP), an essential neurotransmitter implicated in diverse brain functions, was investigated as a guest molecule within the host cavities of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), UV-titration, H NMR, molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The experimentally estimated binding constants of the 1:1 complexes of DP with CB7 and βCD were found to be 5.3 × 10 and 2.

Polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs) have emerged as promising building blocks for next-generation eutectic gels, offering new opportunities for the development of advanced electronic devices. Traditional PDES fabrication typically involves heating and extended processing time. In this study, a facile method where a solid-solid mixture of lithium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide (LiTFSI) and acrylamide (AAm) rapidly forms a PDES at room temperature, significantly simplifying the ionogel preparation is presented.
