Article Abstract
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. Emerging star-shaped nonfullerene structures are highlighted by their favorable impacts of 3D molecular characteristics, aggregation-state attributes, and donor:acceptor miscibility on exciton dissociation. Complementarily, n-type molecular doping is implemented on the nonfullerene photoactive layers by finely optimizing energy landscape to facilitate charge transport and manipulating the blend film morphology, especially in donor-dilute semitransparent organic solar cells. The remaining challenges to these two modular approaches are elucidated, and further deployments are envisioned with insightful viewpoints on leveraging exciton and charge dynamics.

Solution-processed phosphorescent inverted organic light-emitting diodes (s-IOLEDs) have garnered significant attention due to their excellent stability and high performance. However, frequently used inorganic electron transport layers usually cause exciton dissociation at the emitting layer interface, leading to low device efficiency and severe efficiency roll-off. In this work, we designed a cross-linkable triazine-grafted electron transport copolymer (PPDPT--PBCB) with a high triplet energy (3.

Solar-driven photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offers a promising approach for sustainable hydrogen peroxide (HO) production. Despite their advantages, the reported COFs-based photocatalysts suffer insufficient photocatalytic HO efficiency due to the mismatched electron-proton dynamics. Herein, we report three one-dimensional (1D) COF photocatalysts for efficient HO production via the hydrogen radical (H•) mediated concerted electron-proton transfer (CEPT) process.

For optoelectronic devices based on lead-halide perovskites and other semiconductors, a comprehensive understanding of the electric field influences on the carrier transport characteristics is critical to the optimization of their practical performances. To fulfill this challenging goal, here we have employed photoluminescence spatial image and transient absorption microscopy measurements on an individual CsPbBr microplate biased at external voltages in an Au/CsPbBr/Au device. At the subpicosecond time scale, some photogenerated excitons are dissociated into free electrons and holes that drift toward the electrodes to leave behind unfilled defect sites, which are capable of scattering the residual excitons to yield a reduced diffusion coefficient.

The photocatalytic oxidative dipolar [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is a promising green approach for producing pyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinolines. However, developing sustainable cycloaddition methods with heterogeneous photocatalysts is still in its infancy, largely owing to their low reactivity and photostability. Herein, we propose a charge-oxygen synergy strategy through a dual-engineered covalent organic framework (COF) by integrating π-spacers with donor-acceptor motifs to promote intermolecular cycloaddition.
