Summary: In this study, a novel cobalt porphyrin (CoTAPP)-bridged covalent triazine polymer (CoTAPPCC) was prepared for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by covalently linking CoTAPP with cyanuric chloride (CC). Experimental techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to evaluate the correlation of HER activity with molecular structures. The strong electronic interactions between the CC unit and the CoTAPP moiety result in a standard current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a low overpotential of 150 mV in acid, which is comparable to or better than the best records reported previously. Additionally, CoTAPPCC exhibits competitive HER activity in basic medium. This strategy is valuable for designing and developing efficient porphyrin-based HER electrocatalysts.

Summary: In this work, a series of zinc-trimesityl porphyrin carboxylic acid derivatives were prepared and tested as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized photocatalytic systems (DSPs) for efficient and stable solar-driven H2 evolution. The influence of the anchoring group was studied by investigating different positions of the carboxylic acid. The DSPs coated with Zn-TM(pCOOH)P at the para-phenyl position exhibited increased stability (2514 TONs for 1.0 x 10(-5) M) and the highest H2 evolution activity (1959 mmol g(-1) h(-1) for 1.5 x 10(-4) M), indicating the potential of porphyrin derivatives as efficient and stable photosensitizers for H2 evolution in DSPs.

Summary: Organic solar cells with ternary bulk heterojunction active layers composed of small molecules provide a simple and efficient approach to enhance power conversion efficiencies. In this study, all-small-molecule ternary OSCs were constructed using a medium bandgap IDT-IC, a narrow bandgap F13, and a wide bandgap C1-CN. The crystalline nature of IDT-IC induced appropriate nanoscale in the C1-CN:F13 film, resulting in a higher PCE of 15.54% compared to C1-CN:F13 (14.23%) and C1-CN:IDT-IC (6.17%).

Summary: In this study, carbon nanodots are shown to play a beneficial role as electron transport materials in OLEDs and OSCs. The properties of both pristine and nitrogen-functionalized carbon dots are systematically studied using various techniques to uncover their energetic alignment and interaction with the organic semiconductor's emissive layer. The results reveal significant improvements in the current and luminescent characteristics of the OLED devices, mainly due to a decrease in electron injection barrier. The power conversion efficiency of the OSCs using carbon dots as cathode interfacial layers also increases by nearly 10% compared to the reference device. The use of low-cost solution-processed materials in OLEDs and OSCs has the potential for widespread implementation in large-area applications.

Summary: The development of commercially viable organic solar cells (OSCs) requires reducing the efficiency-stability-cost gap. This can be achieved by minimizing synthetic steps while maintaining molecular planarity and efficiencies achieved by fused ring acceptors (FRAs). Developing non-fused ring acceptors (NFRAs) with suitable functionalization for conformational planarity and molecular packing can be cost-effective. Although NFRAs currently have a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of around 16%, lower than FRAs' 19%, understanding their effective structural design is crucial for efficient OSC development. This article focuses on the molecular design concept for NFRAs in recent years and analyzes the approach to material design and efficiency improvement, a significant step toward technological application.

Summary: The efficiency of attaching different porphyrins onto oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) using azide-alkyne cycloaddition (click chemistry), both Cu-catalysed and Cu-free, was compared to amide coupling reaction. Terminal attachment using the different methodologies provides varying yields of porphyrin-ODNs, and these porphyrin-ODNs can be transformed into multiporphyrin arrays using DNA-templated assembly. These arrays demonstrate efficient and alternative route to multiporphyrin assemblies by showing exciton coupling between the porphyrin units.

Summary: This work focuses on the application of hydrated vanadium pentoxide (HVO) as a hole transport layer (HTL) in organic solar cells (OSCs). The simple synthesis process of HVO as the anode HTL in non-fullerene-acceptor-based binary and ternary OSCs enables a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE). The comparison experiments show that the OSCs based on ITO/HVO anode exhibit a higher PCE than those based on ITO/PEDOT:PSS anode.

Summary: Two coumarin-functionalized DPP derivatives, DPP-Cou and Cou-DPP-Cou, were designed, synthesized, and characterized. The absorption range of the symmetrical Cou-DPP-Cou was extended to 750 nm (E(g)(opt) = 1.67 eV), compared to 700 nm (E(g)(opt) = 1.78 eV) for the asymmetric DPP-Cou. The symmetrical conjugates also showed higher thermal stability and achieved higher power conversion efficiencies (PCE) in organic solar cells due to appropriate morphology for faster charge extraction and lower charge recombination.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
