Fluorination is an efficient strategy for improving organic solar cells (OSCs) efficiency, particularly by fluorinating the end group of emerging nonfullerene acceptors. Here, the fluorination effect was investigated by using small molecule donors with fluorine-free (SBz) and fluorinated (SBz-F) end groups, paired with the emerging nonfullerene acceptor Y6. Interestingly and unexpectedly, fluorination of the end group negatively affects OSCs efficiency, with fluorine-free SBz:Y6 OSCs achieving a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.05 % compared to the fluorine-containing SBz-F:Y6 blends (PCE=9.61 %). Analysis of space-charge limited currents reveals lower and unbalanced hole/electron mobility in SBz-F:Y6 compared to the SBz:Y6 blends. These findings are further supported by charge recombination dynamics and donor-acceptor miscibility analyses.

Amyloid fibrils have recently emerged as promising building blocks for functional materials due to their exceptional physicochemical stability and adaptable properties. These protein-based structures can be functionalized to create hybrid materials with a diverse range of applications. Here we report a simple eco-friendly protocol for generating amyloid fibrils from hen egg white lysozyme decorated with gold nanoparticles that can self-assemble in a hydrogel.

Unlabelled: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) remains a major threat to animal health and causes substantial economic losses worldwide. The nonstructural protein 11 (NSP11) of the causative agent, PRRS virus (PRRSV), contains a highly conserved nidoviral uridylate-specific endoribonuclease (NendoU) domain essential for viral replication and immune evasion. Targeting NSP11 offers a novel approach to antiviral intervention.

pneumonia (PJP) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality during AIDS. In AIDS, the absence of CD4 immunity results in exuberant and often fatal PJP. In addition, organism clearance requires a balanced macrophage response since excessive inflammation promotes lung injury and respiratory failure.

Water and ion transport in nanochannels is crucial for membrane-based technology in biological systems. 2D materials, especially graphene oxide (GO), the most frequently used as the starting material, are ideal building blocks for developing synthetic membranes. However, the selective exclusion of small ions while maintaining in a pressured filtration process remains a challenge for GO membranes.
