Summary: This study investigated the interactions between Au and Ag nanoparticles using sodium dilauraminocystine and Gemini surfactant-stabilized nanoparticles, showing how these interactions are affected by the spacer and polymeric nature of the surfactant head group. Additionally, the control of Au-Ag nanoparticle interactions in an aqueous phase was demonstrated by surface-active magnetic nanoparticles placed at the aqueous-air interface. Water-soluble zwitterionic magnetic nanoparticles proved to be effective extractants for both Au and Ag nanoparticles from the aqueous phase, depending on the strength of interactions between them.

Summary: An equilibrium state model is presented for the aggregation and adsorption of colloidal assemblies in apolar solvents, based on the step-wise aggregation response of fatty acids and monoglycerides in bio-oils. The model captures surface crowding and demonstrates the sensitivity of key observables to model parameters. Fits to molecular modelling data reveal that the model accurately reproduces chemically specific aggregate exponential distributions. The model provides an easily accessible means to estimate colloidal assembly and adsorption in oil environments.

Summary: Singlet fission (SF) materials have been used to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells. However, SF implementation in perovskite solar cells has not been successful due to the lack of understanding of the SF/perovskite heterojunctions. In this study, the charge dynamics between a well-known SF molecule, TIPS-pentacene, and a triple-cation perovskite Cs-0.05(FA(0.85)MA(0.15))(0.95)PbI2.55Br0.45 were investigated. The results show that there is an electron-transfer process from TIPS-pentacene to perovskite, leading to an increase in carrier density in the perovskite layer. This study confirms the potential of SF-enhanced perovskite solar cells.

Summary: The large-scale batch growth of single-crystal 2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is crucial for pushing the limits of semiconductor technology. This study demonstrates that the interaction between TMD grains and the exposed oxygen-aluminium atomic plane in sapphire plays a more dominant role than step-edge docking in controlling the single-crystal epitaxy of these materials. Reconstructing the surfaces of the sapphire substrate to a single type of atomic plane enables the epitaxial growth of TMDs without the aid of step edges.

It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
