Summary: Traditional polyolefin-based separators have poor thermal stability and weak electrolyte wettability. In this study, a unique hydroxyapatite/cellulose nanofiber hybrid separator was fabricated using hydroxyapatite and cellulose nanofibers as raw materials. The hybrid separators showed excellent thermal properties, outstanding flame retardancy, and improved electrolyte wettability, resulting in better performance of the lithium-ion batteries.

Summary: Highly thermal stable two-electron transport materials based on triptycene containing phenyl pyridine derivatives were efficiently designed and synthesized using Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. Among them, TPP demonstrated high triplet energy gap, glass transition temperature, deep HOMO level, and good electron mobility, leading to significantly higher external quantum efficiency in green phosphorescent OLED compared to TmPyPB. Additionally, TPP-based devices exhibited superior thermal stability and performance even after thermal annealing at 100 degrees C for 30 minutes, while TmPyPB-based devices showed significant degradation under identical conditions.

Summary: In this study, the effects of a hybrid filler composed of zero-dimensional spherical AlN particles and two-dimensional BN flakes on the thermal conductivity of epoxy resin were investigated. The results showed that the composite exhibited a 46-fold increase in thermal conductivity with the 75 wt% loading of the AlN-BN hybrid filler, along with higher thermal stability and lower coefficient of thermal expansion compared to pure epoxy.

Summary: In this study, a novel near-infrared thermally activated delayed-fluorescence (TADF) device was developed using TCN-TPA as the emitting layer material. The emission performance was optimized by modifying the molecular structure, and the emission spectra were redshifted at high doping levels. The device demonstrated a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 2.4% at 802 nm and 1.1% at 841 nm, which are record-high values among TADF OLEDs in this spectral range.

Summary: An interlayer material based on a designed cross-linkable naphtha-lene diimide (NDI) derivative is developed for highly stable and hydrophobic organic solar cells (OSCs). By n-doping the crosslinked c-NDI:PCy2 film with a non-polar electron donor PCy2, a remarkably high conductivity of 6.51 x 10-3 S/m is achieved with a five-fold increase in doping density. The strong hydrophobicity of the c-NDI:PCy2 interlayer provides excellent water resistance, enabling the OSCs to maintain 70% of their initial efficiency after 1,000 hours in the dark or 4 hours under continuous illumination (100 mW/cm2). The power conversion efficiency of the OSCs reaches 17.7% using the c-NDI:PCy2 interlayer, which is the highest reported value for OSCs with an inverted device architecture.

Summary: The growth of dendrites during electrodeposition still significantly hinders the practical application of lithium metal batteries. Lithium nitride modification is an effective strategy to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites. This review summarizes recent strategies of using lithium nitride to construct solid electrolyte interlayers to inhibit dendrite growth, including applying Li3N-based SEIs or ASEIs, constructing a nitrogenous microscopic structure, liquid electrolyte modification, and solid electrolyte modification. Efforts are made to provide a roadmap for constructing more stable SEIs and fabricating better batteries.

Summary: Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials based on three designed and synthesized compounds showed promising potential as emitters in OLEDs, with blue-shifted emission achieved by introducing cyclohexane. The small singlet-triplet energy splitting and twisted conformation of the compounds minimized frontier molecular orbital overlap. OLEDs using these compounds as emitters achieved high brightness, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency, demonstrating their potential in OLED applications.
