Summary: In this study, two new A-pi-D-pi-A porphyrins, ZnP-CPDT and ZnP-BT, were synthesized and characterized as visible-to-near-infrared light-harvesting photosensitizers. The porphyrins exhibited absorption in the range of 370 to 800 nm in solution and 300 to 1100 nm in the solid state. The Soret- and Q-band absorption peaks of ZnP-CPDT were more red-shifted than those of ZnP-BT due to enhanced intramolecular charge transfer. Additionally, ZnP-CPDT showed better photoinduced charge separation and well-defined nanosphere morphology, resulting in a higher photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate compared to ZnP-BT and a typical zinc(ii)-tetraphenylporphyrin.

Summary: Porphyrins are highly adaptable materials for organic photovoltaics due to their adjustable functional groups. In this study, two porphyrin-based small molecule donors, IDT-2TPE and TPE, were synthesized. The device based on the IDT-2TPE donor and IDTCR nonfullerene acceptor showed a broad photoelectron response up to 1000 nm and a power conversion efficiency of 10.41%, while the device based on the TPE donor and IDTCR acceptor had a much lower efficiency of 4.22%. The improved performance of the IDT-2TPE/IDTCR device was attributed to its higher photocurrent generation and more favorable surface morphology with elevated charge carrier mobilities.

Summary: In this study, TPE-ZnPF was successfully synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. TPE-ZnPF aggregates exhibit long-lived photoexcited states, and enhance emission intensity through suppression of non-radiative decay channels. Moreover, TPE-ZnPF aggregates show more efficient light-harvesting ability, well-defined nanosphere morphology, and more efficient photoinduced charge separation compared to Ph-ZnPF aggregates. As a result, TPE-ZnPF aggregates demonstrate an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 56.20 mmol g(-1) h(-1), which is 94-fold higher than that of Ph-ZnPF aggregates without TPE groups.

Summary: One major obstacle in porphyrins is aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), which leads to nonradiative deactivation of photoexcited states and low photoluminescence and singlet quantum yields. This limits the use of porphyrins in various applications. However, by introducing aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features into porphyrins, their ACQ properties can be transformed and their performance in these applications can be enhanced.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
