Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) offer high energy density and environmental benefits hampered by the shuttle effect related to sluggish redox reactions of long-chain lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). However, the fashion modification of the d-band center in separators is still ineffective, wherein the mechanism understanding always relies on theoretical calculations. This study visibly probed the evolution of the Co 3d-band center during charge and discharge using advanced inverse photoemission spectroscopy/ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (IPES/UPS), which offers reliable evidence and are consistent well with theoretical calculations.

A combined direct and inverse photoemission study of coinage metal corroles suggests that the latter technique, in favorable cases, can provide some additional information relative to electrochemical measurements. Thus, whereas inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) provides relative electron affinities for electron addition to different unoccupied orbitals, electrochemical reduction potentials shed light on the energetics of electron additions. While all three coinage metal triphenylcorrole (TPC) complexes exhibit similar ionization potentials, they exhibit dramatically different inverse photoemission spectra.

We reply to the Comment by Donath et al. on our setup, which allows a total 3D control of the polarization direction of the electron beam in an inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) experiment, a significant advance with respect to previous setups with partial polarization control.

Energy loss caused by exciton binding energy () has become a key factor that restricts further advancement of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, we used transient mid-IR spectroscopy to study direct photogeneration of free charge carriers in small-molecule acceptors (SMAs) Y6 and IDIC as well as polymerized SMAs (PSMAs) PYFT and PZ1. We found that free carrier concentration is higher in PSMAs than in their corresponding SMAs, indicating reduced exciton , which is then confirmed by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, low-energy inverse photoemission spectroscopy, and film absorption spectra measurements.

A series of n-cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPP, n = 8, 9, and 12) were studied by ultraviolet photoemission, inverse photoemission, ultraviolet-visible absorption, and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy to detect their unique electronic structures. [n]CPP has a cyclic structure in which both ends of n-poly(p-phenylene)s (nP) are connected. The molecular size dependence of the HOMO-LUMO gap of [n]CPP was investigated by direct observation and was found to increase as the molecular size increased.
