Article Abstract
While quinoidal moieties are considered as emerging platforms showing efficient charge transport and interesting open-shell diradical characteristics, whether these properties could be changed by extension to the conjugated polymer structure remains as a fundamental question. Here, we developed and characterized two conjugated polymers incorporating quinoids with different lengths, which have a stable close- and open-shell diradical character, respectively, namely, poly(quinoidal thiophene-thienylene vinylene) (PQuT-TV) and poly(quinoidal bithiophene-thienylene vinylene) (PQuBT-TV). A longer length of a quinoidal core led to enhanced diradical characteristics. Therefore, the longer core length of QuBT was favorable for the formation of an open-shell diradical structure in its monomer and in the quinoidal polymer. PQuBT-TV exhibited high spin characteristics observed by the strong ESR signal, a low band gap, and improved electrochemical stability. On the other hand, as QuT maintained a closed-shell quinoid structure, PQuT-TV exhibited high backbone coplanarity and strong intermolecular interaction, which was beneficial for charge transport and led to high hole mobility (up to 2.40 cm V s) in organic field-effect transistors. This work successfully demonstrated how the control of the closed/open-shell character of quinoidal building blocks changes charge transport and spin properties of quinoidal conjugated polymers quinoid-aromatic interconversion.

Although improving the charging cutoff voltage is an effective strategy to increase its capacity, LiCoO ("LCO") undergoes rapid capacity decay due to severe structural and interface degradations at high voltages. Herein, we proposed a multifunctional surface modification by coating nano-sized entropy materials (Li-La-Ti-Zr-Co-O, Nano-MEO). Nano-MEO rivets were constructed on the surface of LCO, which stabilized the fragile surface.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to investigate the formation energies, charge redistribution, and binding energies of iron-oxygen divacancies in magnetite (FeO) and hematite (FeO). For magnetite, we focus on the low-temperature phase to explore variations with local environments. Building on previous DFT calculations of the variations in formation energies for oxygen vacancies with local charge and spin order in magnetite, we extend this analysis to include octahedral iron vacancies before analyzing the iron-oxygen divacancies.

Lithium metavanadate (LiVO) is a material of growing interest due to its monoclinic 2/ structure, which supports efficient lithium-ion diffusion through one-dimensional channels. This study presents a detailed structural, electrical, and dielectric characterization of LiVO synthesized a solid-state reaction, employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and impedance/dielectric spectroscopy across a temperature range of 473-673 K and frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed high crystallinity and single-phase purity with lattice parameters = 10.

We report the synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) graphene/mesoporous carbon/ZIF-derived microporous carbon (G/MC/ZDC-A) heterostructures through an interface-reinforced assembly. This hierarchical architecture synergistically integrates 2D graphene nanosheets with 0D ZDC nanoparticles a mesoporous carbon "binder", effectively mitigating the agglomeration issue while establishing continuous charge transport pathways. When configurated as symmetric supercapacitors with EMIMBF electrolyte, the obtained G/MC/ZDC-A demonstrates decent capacitive performance: a high specific capacitance (240 F g at 0.

[1]Benzothieno[3,2-][1]benzothiophene (BTBT)-based molecules exhibit remarkably high hole mobility, sparking interest in their charge transport mechanisms. However, for thin films, the theoretically proposed mixed-orbital charge transport (MOCT) mechanism, which involves the hybridization of different frontier orbitals between neighboring molecules in the bulk, remains unexplored both experimentally and theoretically. In this study, we prepared a monolayer of 2,7-diphenyl-BTBT (DPh-BTBT) with a unique one-dimensional structure and investigated its molecular-level structure and electronic state.
