Summary: Globally, the hydrothermal method is commonly used to synthesize TiO2 photoanodes for various applications, but it is often complex and difficult to follow. This study successfully developed a reinvented hydrothermal synthesis methodology, which demonstrated a mixed-phase TiO2 photoanodes without several intermediate hydrothermal steps. The DSSC devices fabricated using this methodology showed comparable and excellent power conversion efficiency (η=3.30%) to commercial TiO2-based DSSCs (η=3.81%). This preliminary study provides new perspectives on simplifying wet chemical synthesis techniques for TiO2 in the design of DSSCs.

Summary: In this study, a new type of donor-sigma-acceptor emitter that exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is demonstrated for the first time, with sulfobenzimide moiety used as an acceptor unit. The emission of the synthesized compound in different solutions can be attributed to either locally excited carbazole moiety or trough-space charge transfer (exciplex-like) between carbazole and sulfobenzimide units. In the solid state, aggregation-induced emission enhancement and different emission colors are observed due to different conformations. The mechanoluminescence and electroluminescence properties of the compound are extensively studied, and the compound shows good performance as a non-doped TADF emitter in organic light-emitting diodes fabricated on different substrates.

Summary: This study presents a rational strategy for synthesizing polymer dots (PDs) through photoirradiation at ambient temperature. The method uses a well-designed single-component precursor and achieves a conversion rate of over 99% without the need for external additives. The resulting PDs exhibit high luminescence quantum efficiency and excellent biocompatibility, making them suitable for membrane microenvironmental biodetection. This strategy, which involves programming control of a single precursor, represents an important step towards polymer nanomanufacturing with remote control, high efficiency, precision, and real-time operability.

Summary: Concerted companion (CC) dyes have been developed by linking the donors of porphyrin and organic dye units. The DSSCs based on the CC dyes XW85 and XW86 show higher J(SC) and PCE compared to the corresponding cosensitization systems. However, the PCEs for XW85 and XW86 are still lower than that of the acceptor-linked reference dye XW76. The study suggests that longer linking chains and avoidance of unfavorable alignments can improve the photovoltaic behavior of CC dyes.
