Article Abstract
Truxenes, the π-conjugated small molecules with a C-symmetry, have been extensively investigated in synthesis and application as organic optoelectronic materials. Compared to truxenes, triindenotrithiophene (TITT), a thienyl congener of truxene, was much less explored in the field of synthetic chemistry as well as photovoltaic applications. Different from the reported synthesis requiring at least 14 steps to access TITT-related small molecules, in this work, we have successfully developed a seven-step new synthetic route to TITT and its π-extended oligoaryls (YCW01-04). Our synthetic strategy involved two direct C─H/C─Br coupling reactions, avoiding tedious protection/deprotection chemical transformations. Essential reaction conditions including ligand, base, and solvent for direct C─H arylations were well-optimized, thus affording target products in yields up to 87% (YCW02). In addition, for the first time, the TITT core-based oligoaryls were fabricated as hole-transporting material (HTM) in perovskite solar cells (PSC), giving the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.3% (YCW01).

This review describes new strategies in the use of multifunctional organic alkalizers (OA) for the fabrication of advanced functional materials. OA facilitate solubilization and delivery of poorly solubilized drugs through the formation of drug-OA complexes and supramolecular gels. OA are applied for the synthesis of materials for biomedical, energy storage, catalytic, photovoltaic, sensor, and electronic applications.

The increasing production of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) necessitates the development of green and sustainable technologies for their recycling. Unfortunately, most of the recycling technologies used are always associated with high energy and chemical reagents consumption, posing a great risk to the environment. Herein, we propose a photovoltaic driven carrier-facilitated electrodialytic membrane process for low carbon recovery of spent ternary LIBs.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated transformative potential for materials discovery in condensed matter systems, but their full utility requires both broader application scenarios and integration with ab initio crystal structure prediction (CSP), density functional theory (DFT) methods and domain knowledge to benefit future inverse material design. Here, we develop an integrated computational framework combining language model-guided materials screening with genetic algorithm (GA) and graph neural network (GNN)-based CSP methods to predict new photovoltaic material. This LLM + CSP + DFT approach successfully identifies a previously overlooked oxide material with unexpected photovoltaic potential.

Indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) are small and not optimized for versatile environments, making them environmentally sensitive. To expand the application of energy-harvesting photovoltaics, overcoming the current problems and mismatch loss is important. In this study, we found that IPVs are sensitive to changes in current density under low illuminance, and we introduced a protocol to reveal the modules resulting in the smallest standard deviation using current maps.
