The Heterointerface between Fe1/NC and Selenides Boosts Reversible Oxygen Electrocatalysis

The rational design and construction of efficient and inexpensive bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts are highly desirable for the development of rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs). Although single-atom Fe sites anchored on N-doped carbon catalysts (Fe₁/NC) ensure high oxygen reduction reaction activity, their unitary atomically dispersed active center faces difficult condition in catalyzing oxygen evolution reaction simultaneously. Herein, a composite catalyst containing heterointerface between Fe₁/NC and selenides ((Fe,Co)Se₂) is constructed. The obtained (Fe,Co)Se₂@Fe₁/NC exhibits extremely narrow potential gap of 0.616 V and remarkable stability in alkaline media, outperforming the benchmark catalysts (Pt/C+RuO₂: 0.720 V). Experimental results and density functional theory calculations reveal that heterointerface between Fe₁/NC and (Fe,Co)Se₂ accelerates the electron transfer and provides more moderate adsorption sites, which endow (Fe,Co)Se₂@Fe₁/NC with extremely high bifunctional oxygen catalytic activity. This study not only provides a superior bifunctional catalyst for ZABs, but also enriches the application of single-atom catalysts in multifunctional energy storage and conversion devices.     

Critical Review of Fluorinated Electrolytes for High-Performance Lithium Metal Batteries

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs), due to their ultra-high energy density, are attracting tremendous attentions. However, their commercial application is severely impeded by poor safety and unsatisfactory cycling stability, which are induced by lithium dendrites, side reactions, and inferior anodic stability. Electrolytes, as the indispensable and necessary components in lithium metal batteries, play a crucial role in regulating the electrochemical performance of LMBs. Recently, the fluorinated electrolytes are widely investigated in high-performance LMBs. Thus, the design strategies of fluorinated electrolytes are thoroughly summarized, including fluorinated salts, fluorinated solvents, and fluorinated additives in LMBs, and insights of the fluorinated components in suppressing lithium dendrites, improving anodic stability and cycling stability. Finally, an outlook with several design strategies and challenges will be proposed for novel fluorinated electrolytes.     

Laser-Printed Plasmonic Metasurface Supporting Bound States in the Continuum Enhances and Shapes Infrared Spontaneous Emission of Coupled HgTe Quantum Dots

In order to advance the development of quantum emitter-based devices, it is essential to enhance light-matter interactions through coupling between semiconductor quantum dots with high quality factor resonators. Here, efficient tuning of the emission properties of HgTe quantum dots in the infrared spectral region is demonstrated by coupling them to a plasmonic metasurface that supports bound states in the continuum. The plasmonic metasurface, composed of an array of gold nanobumps, is fabricated using single-step direct laser printing, opening up new opportunities for creating exclusive 3D plasmonic nanostructures and advanced photonic devices in the infrared region. A 12-fold enhancement of the photoluminescence in the 900–1700 nm range is observed under optimal coupling conditions. By tuning the geometry of the plasmonic arrays, controllable shaping of the emission spectra is achieved, selectively enhancing specific wavelength ranges across the emission spectrum. The observed enhancement and shaping of the emission are attributed to the Purcell effect, as corroborated by systematic measurements of radiative lifetimes and optical simulations based on the numerical solution of Maxwell's equations. Moreover, coupling of the HgTe photoluminescence to high quality factor modes of the metasurface improves emission directivity, concentrating output within an ≈20° angle.     

High-Performance Green Thick-Film Ternary Organic Solar Cells Enabled by Crystallinity Regulation

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) has reached high values of over 19%. However, most of the high-efficiency OSCs are fabricated by spin-coating with toxic solvents and the optimal photoactive layer thickness is limited to 100 nm, limiting practical development of OSCs. It is a great challenge to obtain ideal morphology for high-efficiency thick-film OSCs when using non-halogenated solvents due to the unfavorable film formation kinetics. Herein, high-efficiency ternary thick-film (300 nm) OSCs with PCE of 15.4% based on PM6:BTR-Cl:CH1007 are fabricated by hot slot-die coating using non-halogenated solvent (o-xylene) in the air. Compared to PM6:BTR-Cl:Y6 blends, the stronger pre-aggregation of CH1007 in solution induces the earlier aggregation of CH1007 molecules and longer aggregation time, and thus results in high and balanced crystallinity of donors and acceptor in CH1007-based ternary film, which led to high-carrier mobility and suppressed charge recombination. The ternary strategy is further used to fabricate high-efficiency, thick-film, large-area, and flexible devices processed from non-halogenated solvents, paving the way for industrial development of OSCs.     

Boosted Photocurrent via Heating BiFeo3 Thin Film for UV Photodetector at Wide Temperature Range

The current research on ferroelectric photovoltaic materials is concentrated on enhancing the output photocurrent. As solar cells operate at high temperatures, it is crucial to take into account the effect of increasing temperatures on ferroelectric photovoltaics. In this study, an LNO (lanthanum nickelate, LaNiO₃)/BFO (bismuth ferrate, BiFeO₃)/ITO (indium tin oxide) device is constructed on a mica substrate by sol–gel method. The device achieves output photocurrent enhancement at a wide temperature range (33–183 °C), with the largest photocurrent enhancement at 130 °C, which is 178% relative to room temperature, and the output power is also increased by 9.88 times. At the same time, compared with BFO bulk, it is found that the performance of BFO film is always higher than that of bulk in the test temperature range, and the output photocurrent of BFO film at room temperature is 104 times higher than that of bulk. This article investigates the effect of high temperatures on ferroelectric photovoltaics and also provides a strategy for enhancing the photovoltaic performance of ferroelectric films, providing guidance for future applications of ferroelectric films in flexible solar cells and other applications.     

The Edge Effects Boosting Hydrogen Evolution Performance of Platinum/Transition Bimetallic Phosphide Hybrid Electrocatalysts

Platinum (Pt) is regarded as a promising electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, its application in an alkaline medium is limited by the activation energy of water dissociation, diffusion of H⁺, and desorption of H*. Moreover, the formation of effective structures with a low Pt usage amount is still a challenge. Herein, guided by the simulation discovery that the edge effect can boost local electric field (LEF) of the electrocatalysts for faster proton diffusion, platinum nanocrystals on the edge of transition metal phosphide nanosheets are fabricated. The unique heterostructure with ultralow Pt amount delivered an outstanding HER performance in an alkaline medium with a small overpotential of 44.5 mV and excellent stability for 80 h at the current density of −10 mA cm⁻². The mass activity of as-prepared electrocatalyst is 2.77 A mg⁻¹_Pt, which is 15 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C electrocatalysts (0.18 A mg⁻¹_Pt). The density function theory calculation revealed the efficient water dissociation, fast adsorption, and desorption of protons with hybrid structure. The study provides an innovative strategy to design unique nanostructures for boosting HER performances via achieving both synergistic effects from hybrid components and enhanced LEF from the structural edge effect.     

Multifunctional Organic Potassium Salt Additives as the Efficient Defect Passivator for High-Efficiency and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Despite the rapid developments are achieved for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the existence of various defects in the devices still limits the further enhancement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and the long-term stability of devices. Herein, the efficient organic potassium salt (OPS) of para-halogenated phenyl trifluoroborates is presented as the precursor additives to improve the performance of PSCs. Studies have shown that the 4-chlorophenyltrifluoroborate potassium salt (4-ClPTFBK) exhibits the most effective interaction with the perovskite lattice. Strong coordination between  BF₃⁻/halogen in anion and uncoordinated Pb²⁺/halide vacancies, along with the hydrogen bond between F in  BF₃⁻ and H in FA⁺ are observed. Thus, due to the synergistic contribution of the potassium and anionic groups, the high-quality perovskite film with large grain size and low defect density is achieved. As a result, the optimal devices show an enhanced efficiency of 24.50%, much higher than that of the control device (22.63%). Furthermore, the unencapsulated devices present remarkable thermal and long-term stability, maintaining 86% of the initial PCE after thermal test at 80 °C for 1000 h and 95% after storage in the air for 2460 h.     

Understanding Boosted Selective CO2-to-CO Photoreduction with Pure Water Vapor over Hierarchical Biomass-Derived Carbon Matrix

Solar-driven CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) with water into carbon-neutral fuels is of great significance but remains challenging due to thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO₂. Biomass-derived nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C_b) have been considered as promising earth-abundant photocatalysts for CO₂RR, although their activities are not ideal and the reaction mechanism is still unclear. Herein, an efficient catalyst is developed for CO₂-to-CO conversion realized on diverse N-C_b materials with hierarchical pore structures. It is demonstrated that the CO₂-to-CO conversion preferentially takes place on positively charged carbon atoms next to pyridinic-N using two representatives treated pollens with the largest difference in pyridinic-N density and N content as model photocatalysts. Systematic experimental results indicate that surface local electric field originating from charge separation can be boosted by hierarchical pore structures, doped N, as well as pyridinic-N. Mechanistic studies reveal that positively charged carbon atoms next to pyridinic-N serve as active sites for CO₂RR, reduce the energy barrier on the formation of CO*, and facilitate the CO₂RR performance. All these benefits cooperatively contribute to treated chrysanthemum pollen catalyst exhibiting excellent CO formation rate of 203.2 µmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹ with 97.2% selectivity in pure water vapor. These results provide a new perspective into CO₂RR on N-C_b, which shall guide the design of nature-based photocatalysts for high-performance solar-fuel generation.     

Intrinsically Flexible and Aging Resistant Fluorene-Based Rod-Coil Copolymer for Bendable Deep-Blue PLEDs

In the field of flexible light-emitting display, goal-oriented intelligent molecular design is used to control various behaviors of molecules, which provides potential for the development of flexible light-emitting conjugated polymers (LCPs). The introduction of non-conjugated units into polymer molecules is a key prerequisite for realizing the intrinsic flexibility, but its easy interchain slip will also lead to the formation of interchain excited states, which is detrimental to the efficiency of light-emitting diodes. Herein, two kinds of fluorene-based rod-coil copolymer with stable deep blue emission characteristics is presented and with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.18, 0.14) and (0.15, 0.09), respectively. Surprisingly, the copolymer films show efficient blue emission even at 100% tension. Meanwhile, the rod-coil copolymer possesses better aging resistance compared to rigid π-conjugated counterparts. Finally, both rigid and flexible light-emitting diodes based on rod-coil copolymer exhibit stable deep blue emission, and the G2-based PLED with CIE coordinates of (0.16, 0.08), which approach National Television System Committee standard blue specification. These results confirm the validity of rod-coil copolymer design strategy in constructing inherently flexible polymers with deep blue emission, which have great application potential in flexible PLEDs.
