In this study, we systematically investigated the structures and properties of a series of core- and end-alkylated donor–acceptor–donor triads based on a naphthodithiophenedione acceptor to elucidate the impact of the alkylation site on their solid-state structures and properties. Although the alkylation site marginally affects their molecular electronic structures, all of the core-alkylated triads showed significant red shifts of the main absorption band from the solution to the solid state, in sharp contrast to the blue shifts observed for the end-alkylated triads. Single-crystal X-ray analysis and thin-film X-ray diffraction revealed that the contrasting solid-state optical properties are likely attributed to the distinctly different arrangements of the chromophores in the solid state, depending on the alkylation site. The end-alkylated triads tend to form interchromophore cofacial and/or side-by-side arrangements, which results in the blue shift of absorption bands, whereas the core-alkylated triads tend to avoid such interchromophore arrangement and rather promote an in-plane orientation of the transition electric dipole moments in a slip-stacking manner, which leads to the red shift of absorption bands. Furthermore, the alkyl groups on the core effectively reduce the core-to-core interaction, thus improving the solubility of materials without compromising carrier transport properties. These results provide valuable insights into molecular design for developing solution-processable NIR-absorbing organic semiconductors.","PeriodicalId":33,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry of Materials","volume":"15 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, optimizing the performance of these hybrid systems largely depends on the fine understanding of the mechanisms by which they are formed in relation to their mode of preparation. We report herein the synthesis of nanosized semiconducting heterostructures of ZnS@ZnO shell-core nature; this is from well-controlled preformed ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) modified via anion exchange process using (TMS)₂S. The formation of these ZnS@ZnO heterostructures has been investigated in depth, shedding light specifically on the sulfidation mechanism and its dynamics. Our study reveals the dynamic evolution of the nanomaterial in the sulfidation process, evidencing that it is both driven by the initial presence of oxygen vacancies─acting as gateways for sulfur atoms─and also by the action in the medium of (TMS)₂S, which as a sulfurizing agent behaves also as an oxygen atom extractor. The structural modification of the preformed monocrystalline ZnO nanomaterial into a polycrystalline ZnS hollow nanostructure occurs via amorphization–crystallization steps, which clearly depends on the amount of (TMS)₂S in the reaction. This morphological transition to a hollow structure has been followed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁷O), and notably oxygen atoms at the interfaces of ZnS@ZnO heterostructures have been identified and quantified. Consistently, our study clearly establishes the link between the preparation mode of the ZnS@ZnO heterostructures and the modification of their optical band gaps as a function of their composition. The variation in optical properties, and the bowing of the band gap, depends on the sulfidation level, and this mode of sulfidation is clarified step-by-step by a DFT computational approach of surface and interface processes that is fully supported by the experimental characterization (XRD, WAXS, EDX line-analysis, HRTEM, STEM-HAADF) of these materials.","PeriodicalId":33,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry of Materials","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tuning the nature and the number of the surface terminations becomes the key factor for the effective use of MXenes in technology. This study explores the capability of H atoms to modify the surface composition of Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i> flakes. While exposing the sample at room temperature to H atoms, the change of its surface chemical state is followed by synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It turns out that halogen terminations are progressively and substantially removed. In parallel, the O terminations are partially converted into OH groups, the O/OH ratio being possibly controlled by the OH–OH repulsion. The dramatic surface composition change leaves the valence state of the Ti atoms almost unchanged. Density functional theory simulations of the valence band spectra for different Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i> model systems identify all spectral features and model the change of the electronic properties around the Fermi level. Heating the hydrogenated sample to 400 K removes the OH groups, leaving the MXene surface deprived of most of the pristine terminations, thus giving way to new, application-oriented functionalization.","PeriodicalId":33,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry of Materials","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142760521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigate lithium vanadate (Li–V₃O₈) for aqueous Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation processes. Unlike its crystalline V₂O₅ polymorph, Li–V₃O₈ retains monophasic lithiation, which is attributed to its disordered crystalline nature and large interplanar distance. Importantly, we show a unique and reversible sequence of disorder-to-order structural transition induced by the extent of lithiation, which indicates sequential interlayer and intralayer lithiation process, and <i>vice versa</i> in delithiation process, supported by electrokinetic analysis, <i>in situ</i> X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Debye scattering simulations. The absence of distortive phase transitions and multilithiation pathways facilitates Li-ion diffusion across the vanadate electrode materials to improve storage capacity.
