This study successfully designed and synthesized two nonfused ring electron acceptors, 412-6F and 412-6Cl, modified with fluorine and chlorine substituents, respectively. Single-crystal analysis revealed that 412-6F possesses a planar molecular backbone and exhibits pronounced dipole-dipole interactions between the fluorine atoms on the lateral phenyl groups and the carbonyl oxygen atoms on the end groups. This specific interaction promotes dense end-group stacking, leading to a reduced interlayer spacing. Improved crystallinity and coherence length are observed in the D18 : 412-6F blend film. Conversely, 412-6Cl adopts a more distorted configuration and lacks these interactions. As a result, the organic solar cell (OSC) based on D18 : 412-6F achieved a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 18.03 %, surpassing the performance of the D18 : 412-6Cl OSC. This underscores the importance of designing novel acceptors with beneficial intermolecular interactions to enhance OSC efficiency, thus providing a new direction for organic photovoltaic advancement.

Expanding the spectral response of photocatalysts to facilitate overall water splitting (OWS) represents an effective approach for improving solar spectrum utilization efficiency. However, the majority of single-phase photocatalysts designed for OWS primarily respond to the ultraviolet region, which accounts for a small proportion of sunlight. Herein, we present a versatile strategy to achieve broad visible-light-responsive OWS photocatalysis dominated by direct ligand-to-cluster charge transfer (LCCT) within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Enhanced Efficiency and Stability in Blade-Coated Perovskite Solar Cells through Using 2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorophenylethylammonium Halide Additives.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells is sensitive to their method of fabrication as well as the combination of materials in the perovskite layer. Air knife-assisted blade coating enables good quality perovskite films to be formed but the device efficiencies still tend to lag behind those fabricated using spin-coated perovskite layers. Herein we report the use of three 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenylethylammonium halides (FEAX, where X = I, Br or Cl) as additives in nitrogen knife-assisted blade-coated methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI) perovskite solar cells.

Revealing the roles of solar withering and shaking processes on oolong tea manufacturing from transcriptome and volatile profile analysis.

Solar and indoor withering in the manufacturing process of semi-fermented oolong tea are crucial for aroma formation. While the processes have been established through accumulated experience, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study identified pairs of gene and volatile organic compound (VOC) that were significantly correlated and up-regulated during solar withering and the first shaking, including lipoxygenase 8 (LOX8) with 3-hexenyl iso-butyrate, terpene synthase 2 (TPS2) with β-ocimene and linalool, as well as tryptophan synthase β-subunit 2 (TSB2) with indole.

Hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) is a two-dimensional material with an sp-sp carbon skeleton featuring a band gap and a porous structure that enhances ion diffusion. In previous reports, HsGDY growth was limited to metal substrates such as Cu, which then required transfer. Here, we developed a sandwich method that allows HsGDY to be grown directly on the target substrate.

Electronic address:

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted by urban vegetation and can interact with anthropogenic pollutants to generate secondary organic aerosols (SOA) that are atmospheric pollutants in urban environments. In urban forests, SOA comprise up to 90 % of all fine aerosols (particulate matter smaller than 1 μm [PM]) in the summer. PM can greatly affect urban air quality and public health.
