Article Abstract
Electrospinning (e-spinning) devices and electrospun (e-spun) ultrathin fibers have shown promising applications in various fields. However, the poor portability of conventional e-spinning devices limits some potential applications especially in the case without a plug (electricity supply). Consequently, great efforts have been made to modify e-spinning setups with good portability. In this article, a solar cell and a hand generator-powered portable e-spinning (SHPE) setup with good flexibility is introduced, which can be used outdoors without a plug. The SHPE device shows good spinning efficacy both in solution and melt e-spinning processes for a wide range of polymers. Moreover, the designed SHPE apparatus demonstrates potential application in wound dressing by in situ e-spinning fibers onto human skin directly.

A new study shows that Sacoglossan sea slugs sequester stolen plastids in arrested phagosomes called 'kleptosomes', redefining how these organelles are compartmentalized and regulated in animal cells. Under normal conditions, the plastids are supported and maintained, but starvation causes their degradation, supporting a potential nutritional role.

Additive assisted strategies play a crucial role in optimizing the morphology and improving the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), yet the molecular-level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we employ molecular dynamics (AIMD) and density functional theory (DFT) to elucidate the influence of typical additives of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) and 3,5-dichlorobromobenzene (DCBB) on molecular packing, electronic structures, and charge transport. It can be observed that both additives can enhance the stacking properties of the donor and acceptor materials, yet they have different effects on the local electrostatic environment.

The introduction of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite layers on top of three-dimensional (3D) perovskite films enhances the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the electronic effect of the spacer cation and the quality of the 2D capping layer are critical factors in achieving the required results. In this study, we compared two fluorinated salts: 4-(trifluoromethyl) benzamidine hydrochloride (4TF-BA·HCl) and 4-fluorobenzamidine hydrochloride (4F-BA·HCl) to engineer the 3D/2D perovskite films.

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells have attracted considerable attention owing to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE), which exceeds the limits of single-junction devices. This study focused on lead-free tin-based perovskites with iodine-bromine mixed anions. Bromide perovskites have a wide bandgap; therefore, they are promising light absorbers for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.

Nonfullerene acceptor-based organic solar cells have recently taken a milestone leap with power conversion efficiencies approaching 20%. A key to further boost the efficiencies up to the Shockley-Queisser limit rests upon attaining a delicate balance between exciton dissociation and charge transport. This perspective presents two seminal and reciprocal strategies developed by our group and others to reconcile the intricacy of charge carrier dynamics, spanning from intrinsic molecular structure design to extrinsic dopant exploitation.
