Summary: Nanomaterials and nanostructures offer new opportunities for high-performance optical and optoelectronic devices, with a proposed self-assembly strategy demonstrating controllable density and layering for 3D substrates. The close-packed SiO2 monolayer showed a maximum relative efficiency enhancement of 9.35%, attributed to a concentration effect and anti-reflection of incident light induced by nanospheres. This versatile strategy provides a cost-effective approach for engineering nanomaterials at 3D interfaces.

Summary: In this work, a strategy of directly using the hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) monomer for efficient photoredox catalysis without catalyst prefabrication is reported. This simplified mode showed equal effectiveness as the prefabricated HOF catalysts, with high activity, selectivity, and generality in photocatalytic sulfide oxygenation. The in situ self-assembly of the HOF monomer into the target HOF framework was achieved through complementary hydrogen bonds of carboxy dimers. The enhanced yield of singlet oxygen (1O2) resulting from the excitonic effect and strong interlayer confinement of self-assembly frameworks explained the origin of activity. This work offers a facile yet efficient approach to utilize HOF material for photoredox catalysis.

Summary: A large hexameric cage based on intermolecular amide-amide dimerization is reported, with a diameter of 2.3 nm and a cavity volume of 2800 Å(3), larger than any previously known capsule/cage structure relying solely on hydrogen bonds. The self-assembly process in chlorinated organic solvents is strongly concentration-dependent, with the monomeric form prevailing at low concentrations. Additionally, the formation of host-guest complexes with fullerenes (C-60 and C-70) was observed.

Summary: Self-healable elastomeric materials have been synthesized and used to improve the gas barrier properties of packaging films. Hexa-layer assemblies consisting of inorganic nanoplatelets and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes were developed by sequential depositions. Layer-by-layer technique was then applied to reduce the water vapor transmission rate of the films. The self-healable barrier films recover their initial properties after mechanical damage, and encapsulated organic light-emitting diodes have significantly longer half-lifetime values. This research develops transparent, stretchable, and self-healable gas barrier films for flexible electronic device packaging applications.

Summary: The recently emerged metal-halide hybrid perovskite (MHP) has excellent optoelectronic features and has attracted great attention in various applications. However, achieving an electrically driven laser has been challenging due to the degradation of perovskite and other limitations. In this work, we observed an ultralow-threshold optically pumped laser from moisture-insensitive perovskite micro-plates and demonstrated an electrically driven laser by combining suitable perovskite/hole transport and electron transport layers. Our discovery opens up new possibilities for future optoelectronics.

Summary: This study investigates the shock behavior of three different polymers through molecular dynamics simulations. The results reveal specificities in the shock behavior of polymers, including deviations from the linear relation between shock velocity and particle velocity, as well as differences in shear stress relaxation behind the shock front. It is found that the deviation of the Hugoniot locus is related to the change in the relative contribution of bonding and non-bonding potential energies, while polymers with higher glass transition temperatures exhibit slower shear stress relaxation.

Summary: The difference in leaching of amylopectin from cellulose/amylopectin/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl]) blends during regeneration in water and aqueous ethanol has been studied. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the dissolution and regeneration mechanisms of amylopectin in [Bmim][Cl] are similar to cellulose in ionic liquids. Water regeneration leads to weak electrostatic interactions, resulting in high leaching of amylopectin. In contrast, ethanol-water interactions enhance electrostatic interactions among amylopectin chains, limiting amylopectin leaching in aqueous ethanol.

Summary: Multi-physical fields solution processing strategy is a universal and facile method for preparing various conjugated polymer films and high-performance devices. In this study, we employed a combined microfluidic flow and ultrasonication strategy (FU) for processing CP solutions, and found a pronounced synergetic effect in promoting the pre-ordering of chains in solution. The conformation order and anisotropy of the solution were revealed through various characterizations. A non-classical nucleation model for polymer crystallization in non-equilibrium solution processing was confirmed. The roles of microfluidic flow and ultrasonication in chain aggregation and crystallization were addressed through multi-physical simulations. Compared to pristine solutions, the FU strategy showed improved solution anisotropy and crystallization kinetics, resulting in higher crystallinity in films and increased mobilities in OFET devices. The FU processing strategy provides a universal approach for regulating chain conformation and aggregation in conjugated polymer solutions.
