Nonlinear transport behavior is one of the signatures of the formation of electronic crystals such as charge density wave (CDW), as it provides evidence for their collective motion. Such experimental evidence has been widely reported in quasi-one-dimensional (1D) materials but is rarely studied in 2D systems. Only a few studies on the RTematerials have been previsouly reported. Here we report for the first time the observation of CDW depinning and sliding in the layered 1-TiSecompound, based on the observation of (1) nonlinear voltage-current characteristics and (2) the electrical noise, which are associated with the CDW depinning and sliding process. Similar measurements are also conducted on quasi-1D system NbSe. The depinning behavior of the CDWs with different dimensionalities in these two systems are compared. It is found that the threshold electric field () increases linearly with decreasing temperature for the 2D case, consistent with previous results on RTe, while it demonstrated an activated behavior in 1D, as expected within the weak-pinning Fukuyama-Lee-Rice framework. Such a distinction of the threshold behavior in CDW systems of different dimensions therefore indicates a possible strong pinning picture in higher-dimensional CDW systems in general.is found to be much higher in 1-TiSe, consistent with a strong pinning picture, and could account for the scarcity of the depinning study in these 2D systems. Our results thus pave the way for a unified understanding of the CDW collective motion in different dimensionalities.

In this report, we successfully engineered a novel probe based on an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) architecture featuring dicyanovinyl-substituted thieno[3,2-]thiophene, termed DCVTT. The designed probe self-assembles into luminous nanoparticles (DCVTT NPs) upon introducing mixed aqueous solutions. These fluorescent nanostructures served as a ratiometric probe for detecting cyanide (CN) ions in aqueous-based environments, owing to the robust Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT) characteristics of DCVTT.

Organic small molecules (OSMs) with well-defined structures are crucial integral components of cathode catalysts for fuel cells. Despite the acknowledged potential of heteroatom doping to enhance the catalytic performance of metal-free carbon-based catalysts, there exists a notable gap in conducting molecular structure and catalytic activity, particularly under the premise of maintaining a constant molecular skeleton and with a clear molecular structure. Herein, the charge distribution is modulated by introducing different chalcogens into the same molecular skeleton through main-group engineering.

Ammonium-ion supercapacitors (AISCs) offer considerable potential for future development owing to their low cost, high safety, environmental sustainability, and efficient electrochemical energy storage capabilities. The rapid and efficient charge-transfer process at the AISC can endow them with high capacitive and cycling stabilities. However, the prolonged intercalation/deintercalation of NH in layered and framework materials often results in the cleavage of the active sites and the deconstruction of the framework, which makes it difficult to achieve long-term stable energy storage while maintaining high capacitance in the electrode materials.

Limitations in solar energy conversion by photocatalysis typically stem from poor underlying charge carrier properties. Transient Absorption (TA) reveals insights on key photocatalytic properties such as charge carrier lifetimes and trapping. However, on the microsecond timescale, these measurements use relatively large probe sizes ranging in millimetres to centimetres which averages the effect of spatial heterogeneity at smaller length scales.
