Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) face severe challenges of uncontrolled sodium dendrite growth and interfacial instability. Herein, guided by theoretical predictions, a distinct locally polarized covalent organic framework (TB-Br-COF) was synthesized and employed as a Na⁺ transport accelerator to promote uniform Na deposition. TB-Br-COF excited the gating effect (a high gating ratio of 23.1) through electronic response to accomplish the separation of Na from the electrolyte solvent via the sodiophilic sites (-O-C═C units, C═N linkages, C─Br bonds, and aromatic rings). Simultaneously, it synergistically induced two electron migration routes based on the dual donor-acceptor (linkages and linkers) structures, thereby enhancing both electron separation efficiency and Na cations' transport. Benefiting from that, the TB-Br-COF-based symmetric battery achieved an ultra-stable operating time of 1000 h at 1 mA cm with 1 mAh cm. Moreover, the full battery based on the modified Na@TB-Br-COF electrode and the carbon-coated NaV(PO)/C (NVP/C) demonstrated high compatibility and good cycling stability. Theoretical calculation and in situ spectra measurements have jointly proved the molecular stability and mechanical robustness. Therefore, this investigation unveils an unconventional method for creating COF-based protective layers for the practical SMBs.

Organic semiconductors are very attractive photocatalysts for the production of solar fuels. However, their development is greatly plagued by limited visible light absorption and severe restriction of photoexcited charge carrier separation and transfer caused by the exciton effect resulting from inherent dielectric constraints. Herein, a three-motif molecular junction hydrogen evolution photocatalyst is constructed by linking a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) molecule integrating the photosensitizer unit and the redox unit with holey carbon nitride sheets (HCNS) as a second electron acceptor unit (A) based on the covalent strategy.

Photovoltaic performance of bulkheterojunction (BHJ)-based organic solar cells is critically governed by morphologies of donor:acceptor blends as light-harvesting layers. However, ideal morphological control remains challenging due to the systems' complexity. In this work, a sequential dual-heating (DH) strategy is presented to precisely tailor the BHJ morphology in a D18-Cl:Y6 system, achieving a remarkable 19.

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, characterized by emission wavelengths exceeding 650 nm, have garnered significant attention due to their diverse and advanced applications in fields such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photomicrography, anti-counterfeiting, in vivo/vitro bioimaging, as well as theranostics. In this study, we report the rational design and facile synthesis of a novel NIR fluorescent molecule, AA-TPA, strategically constructed by integrating two twisted triphenylamine (TPA) electron-donating groups with a dibenzo[def,mno]chrysene-6,12-dione (AA) electron-accepting unit. The pronounced donor-acceptor interaction within the non-planar and rigid molecular architecture facilitates NIR emission with a peak at 667 nm, while preserving efficient luminescence with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 46 % in a doped film.

Aflatoxin B (AFB) contamination in edible oils poses severe food safety threats, with traditional photocatalysis hindered by insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) precursors in lipid matrices. This study integrates tubular O, S co-doped g-CN (OSTCN) photocatalysis into edible oil water-washing, in the simulated dual-phase systems, OSTCN activates peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light to generate ROS, achieving complete degradation of oil-phase migrated parent AFB within 120 min while maintaining oil quality within acceptable thresholds. Combined evidence reveals that the tubular structure enhances light harvesting, while O, S co-doping creates electron donor-acceptor sites that strengthen PMS adsorption and electron transfer, reducing activation barriers and conferring 6.
