It is both computable and observable. Its topology allows gaining insight into the mechanisms of bonding and other phenomena in a way that is complementary to and beyond that available from the molecular orbital picture and the formal oxidation state (FOS) formalism. The ability to derive mechanistic insight from electron density is also important with methods where orbitals are not available, such as orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT). While density topology-based analyses such as QTAIM (quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules) have been widely used, novel, vector-based techniques recently emerged such as next-generation (NG) QTAIM. Density-dependent quantities are also actively used in machine learning (ML)-based methods, in particular, for ML DFT functional development, including machine-learnt kinetic energy functionals. We review QTAIM and its recent extensions such as NG-QTAIM and localization-delocalization matrices (LDM) and their uses in the analysis of bonding, conformations, mechanisms of redox reactions excitations, as well as ultrafast phenomena. We review recent research showing that direct density analysis can circumvent certain pitfalls of the FOS formalism, in particular in the description of anionic redox, and of the widely used (spherically) projected density of states analysis. We discuss uses of density-based quantities for the construction of DFT functionals and prospects of applications of analyses of density topology to get mechanistic insight with OF-DFT and recently developed time-dependent OF-DFT.","PeriodicalId":32,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Reviews","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":62.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent studies have shown that these Ov can undergo migration and refilling during electrochemical cycling, leading to severe structural degradation and rapid capacity fading. Therefore, developing technologies to stabilize Ov is critical for maximizing their efficiency, although it presents a significant challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a covalent heterostructure design that pushes the cycling performance of a vanadium dioxide (VO2) cathode to an unprecedented level. The rational lies in the chemical growth of VO2 nanowall arrays on MXene nanosheets to form Ti-O-V asymmetric orbital hybridization (AOH) at the interface, which remarkably enhances the stability of Ov on VO2. Due to this advanced cathode design, the prepared ZIBs exhibit highly reversible aqueous Zn2+ storage capacities and maintain a robust structure over 30,000 cycles at 20 A g-1, without any significant capacity loss (1.4 %). Detailed experimental and theoretical analysis indicate that the Ti-O-V AOH facilitates a charge transfer pathway at the interface, allowing electrons to migrate from VO2 to MXene surface, thereby stabilizing the Ov both thermodynamically and kinetically. Our work offers an inspiring design principle for developing sustainable cathode materials for high-performance aqueous ZIBs and beyond, leveraging the synergistic effects of Ov and interfacial orbital engineering.","PeriodicalId":32,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Reviews","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142609920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, TDD-TENG achieves the average power density of 18.37 W m-2, which is the highest in sliding mode DC-TENGs.

To facilitate scalability and industrial deployment of perovskite silicon tandems all functional layers including perovskite need to be deposited with scalable techniques. Currently, self-assembling molecules (SAM), polymeric and low-molecular-weight organic semiconductors, are widely used as hole transport layers (HTLs) in p-i-n structured perovskite solar cells. Usually, SAMs are deposited via spin coating method, but use of this method could be challenging on large area textured silicon substrates, leading to inhomogeneous SAM layers and lossy HTL/perovskite interfaces. To address this issue, we have investigated thermal evaporation of SAMs (2PACz and Me-4PACz) and some other HTLs like TaTm and Spiro-TTB. We examined the effect of varying HTL thickness on the device performance and showed that the thickness of the thermally evaporated HTLs significantly affects the open circuit voltage (VOC) and fill factor (FF) of the solar cells. Furthermore, using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and Suns-VOC measurements we correlate the changes observed in the VOC and FF with HTL thickness variations to the changes in the energy band positions (loss in the hole selectivity) and effective resistance losses, respectively. With the optimized HTL thickness we obtained ~30% efficiency on 1 cm2 area and ~26% on 4 cm2 area tandem devices.","PeriodicalId":32,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Reviews","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we unravel the untapped potential of UiO-66 metal–organic framework (MOF) derivatives as exceptional nanofillers for tuning the properties of the widely used polyetherimide (PEI). By systematically varying the linker structures, we create a series of isostructural MOF fillers that exhibit contrasting capabilities in regulating the charge transport and energy storage capacities of the resulting composite films. Notably, capacitors based on composite films using the electron-deficient UiO-66-F4 show remarkable long-term charge-discharge stability and achieve ultrahigh discharged energy densities of 9.87 J cm−3 at 150 °C and 9.21 J cm−3 at 200 °C, setting a new benchmark for high-temperature flexible polymer composites. Through comprehensive experimental and theoretical analyses, we establish an unprecedented correlation between the MOF fillers' electronic structures and the composites’ improved electrical breakdown strength and energy storage properties.
