Article Abstract
Organic bulk heterojunction solar cells with a high fullerene content (larger than 70%) have been studied in this work. The device performances of this kind of solar cell could be tuned by adjusting the blend ratio in the active layer. An appropriate amount of p-type semiconductor in the high fullerene content active blend layer is beneficial for light absorbance and exciton dissociation. The proper energy alignment between the highest occupied molecular orbital of a p-type material and an n-type fullerene derivative has a strong influence on the exciton dissociation efficiency. In addition, the mechanism of photogenerated charge recombination in the solar cells has been identified through intensity-dependent current density-voltage () measurements and results show that the mechanisms governing the recombination are crucial for solar cell performance.

Contactless human-machine interfaces (C-HMIs) are revolutionizing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven domains, yet face application limitations due to narrow sensing ranges, environmental fragility, and structural rigidity. To address these obstacles, we developed a flexible photonic C-HMI (Flex-PCI) using flexible visible-blind near-infrared organic photodetectors. In addition to its unprecedented performance across key metrics, including broad detection range (0.

A sensitive electrochemical glucose biosensor using ZrO₂@CNTs nanocomposite was developed for real-time metabolism monitoring for athletes. The nanocomposite was prepared by a simple ultrasound-assisted technique, and the glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently immobilized to improve the biorecognition ability. CNTs treated with acid served as a highly conductive framework, and ZrO₂ nanoparticles can provide structural stability and catalytic performance, thus showing synergistic enhancement of electron transfer kinetics and enzyme loading capacity.

The increasing global demand for food and the adverse environmental impacts of excessive agrochemical use highlights the urgent need for sustainable and scalable seed treatment technologies. This paper reports a novel photothermal seed coating (QC@SCCNTs) with high biocompatibility, exceptional photothermal efficiency, and notable reusability, serving as an effective alternative to conventional chemical treatments. The coating consists of sericin-functionalized carboxylated carbon nanotubes (SCCNTs) electrostatically complexed with quaternary ammonium chitosan (QC), forming a composite film (QS film).

Accurate and efficient simulation of photoinduced dynamics in materials remains a significant challenge due to the computational cost of excited-state electronic structure calculations and the necessity to account for excitonic effects. In this work, we present a machine learning (ML)-accelerated approach to nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations that incorporates excitonic effects by predicting excited-state wave functions via configuration interaction coefficients and excitation energies using a graph neural network (GNN) architecture. The GNN model leverages molecular orbital information from ground-state calculations to construct input graphs, enabling efficient and accurate prediction of relevant excited-state wave functions and energies required for ab initio-based fewest-switches surface hopping simulations.
