In this work, we found that the high-performance polymer solar cells suffer from significant performance decay upon thermal annealing at 150 °C owing to the fast decay of <i>V</i><sub>OC</sub> and FF. We demonstrated that the thermal annealing process leads to a severe chemical reaction of MoO<sub>3</sub> with Al, forming an Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> barrier layer at the MoO<sub>3</sub>/Al interface, which lowers the built-in potential (<i>V</i><sub>bi</sub>) of the cells and consequently reduces charge collection efficiency. Inserting a thin C<sub>60</sub> interlayer between MoO<sub>3</sub>/Al slows the chemical reaction of MoO<sub>3</sub> with Al, which ensures a high <i>V</i><sub>bi</sub> and charge collection efficiency for the annealed MoO<sub>3</sub>/C<sub>60</sub>/Al cells. Such a protection effect of the C<sub>60</sub> layer in improving device performance against thermal annealing was also confirmed for cells with different polymer photoactive layers and metal electrodes, demonstrating the generality of the interfacial degradation of the cells and the protection effect of the C<sub>60</sub> layer. Finally, we demonstrated that the inverted polymer solar cells with the C<sub>60</sub>-modified anode showed almost no performance decay upon high-temperature hot-press encapsulation, demonstrating excellent heat tolerance of this new device structure.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143858278","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}

The actuator demonstrates multistimuli responsiveness to organic solvents/vapors, thermal radiation, and infrared (IR) radiation in air, achieving bidirectional deformation under organic stimuli with a remarkable bending angle of 630° and a load capacity of 180 times its self-weight. In aqueous environments, the actuator exhibits minimal response to thermal and IR light stimuli but shows high selectivity and rapid response to specific organic pollutants, with a response time of just 1.77 s to dichloromethane. Leveraging these properties, we developed a series of functional actuators─including <i>Miura</i> origami, airfoil, and artificial muscle configurations─demonstrating their capability to replicate complex movements. Moreover, a water lily-inspired multienvironmental actuator was designed to effectively shield against underwater temperature fluctuations, IR light, and nontarget organic solvent interference, showing its cross-insensitivity and potential for real-time environmental monitoring applications.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143858272","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}

Herein, an anti-swelling and self-healing hydrogel is prepared by grafting poly(acrylic acid) with hydrophobic lauryl methacrylate, as well as constructing a second network and multiple molecular interactions (abbreviated as PALCF). The introduced hydrophobic long alkyl chains and the increased cross-linking density of the hydrogel result in a swelling ratio of only 0.04% after immersion in water for 15 days. Due to abundant metal coordination and hydrogen bonds, the PALCF hydrogel exhibits a high tensile stress of 0.60 MPa and a self-healing efficiency reaching 96.0% after self-healing at 60 °C for 2 min. Based on the piezoresistive effect, the PALCF hydrogel is directly used as an underwater strain sensor with a high sensitivity (GF = 2.24) to control underwater vehicles for rescue implementation. Furthermore, two self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator sensors with contact and non-contact models are constructed based on PALCF hydrogels for underwater communication, capable of sending out SOS messages and drowning alarms in emergency.

An important catalyst for oxygen electrocatalyst is an atomically dispersed iron atom embedded in the nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe-NC) material.

The regulation of the electron structure of the Fe atom by adjusting the coordinate structure is one effective solution. Here, we prose the substitution of nitrogen atom by sulfur atom, who has weak electronegativity and can donor electron to Fe atom, so the d-band center of Fe atom is elevated. Thus, the Fe-NS active site facilitates the fast *OOH adsorption and the *OH desorption, compared with counterpart Fe-N active site. As a result, the oxygen electrocatalyst reaction kinetics is accelerated.

In this study, we present an opto-chemical-electronic tweezer (OCET), a novel particle manipulation strategy that addresses these limitations. The OCET system utilizes a photocatalytic TiO<sub>2</sub>/Pt film irradiated with perpendicular UV light. An electric field is then generated parallel to the film at the boundary of the patterned UV light, directed from the illuminated region to the dark region.

The ordered structures formed by block copolymer self-assembly can provide an orientation matrix for nonspherical nanoparticles. Based on self-consistent field theory, this study investigates the orientation effects of monaxially symmetric cylindrical nanoparticles in the lamellar phases formed by block copolymers. Using cylindrical and pore-containing ring nanoparticles as models for nonspherical particles, we successfully describe the particles’ anisotropy and nonconvex surface properties. Numerical results show that the orientation effect of the lamellar ordered structure exhibits a nontrivial dependence on the geometric and topological properties of nonspherical particles. In addition to interfacial tension effects, the orientation mechanism of small-sized nanoparticles mainly arises from the stretching effect of the polymer, manifested in two main effects: (1) the particle deforms the polymer chain, reducing its conformational entropy, thus tending to align in a specific orientation; (2) the orientation field at the polymer chain ends is discontinuous, and the nanoparticles can embed and adopt a specific orientation. For nonconvex nanoparticles, the geometric size of the pore structure adjusts the polymer’s free volume, influencing the orientation effect. This study not only deepens the understanding of the orientation mechanism in block copolymer-mediated nanoparticle self-assembly, but also provides potential theoretical insights for the design and application of energy catalysis, biomedical materials, and functional nanostructures.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862451","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}

For the celebrity PDINN small molecule, the strong aggregation tendency of the perylene diimide molecular backbone leads to excessive crystallinity when films form, ultimately affecting the morphology and charge transport ability of the films. Herein, we address this issue by developing a hydroxyl-induced anti-aggregation strategy by introducing a suitable amount of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) into the solution of PDINN, and a careful balance is achieved between the film-forming quality and the aggregation of the material. Taking two commercially available active layer systems, PM6/Y6 and D18/L8-BO, as examples, the introduction of HPC significantly increases the <i>J</i><sub>SC</sub> and FF values of the devices. Therefore, power conversion efficiency risen from 17.38% to 18.25% for the PM6/Y6 system and from 18.45% to 19.73% for the D18/L8-BO system, and it was proved that the thickness tolerance of the HPC hybrid interface was improved significantly. This hydroxyl-induced anti-aggregation strategy has demonstrated efficiency in other active layer systems.
