Disorder in the energies of charge-transfer (CT) states can be induced by the complex phase behaviour of bulk heterojunctions in organic semiconductors. Here, we propose a model to help to quantify and understand the impact of CT state energetic disorder on voltage losses in organic photovoltaics.

The serendipitous journey behind understanding the inner workings of Li-rich cathodes and how that can provide a way to satisfy the "AND problem" for battery cathodes.

In our recent paper (Nature Communications, 2021, 12:3260), we reported the experimental study on defect properties of antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3). Here I highlight the critical issues regarding the sample preparation, unique defect properties and the significance to device performance improvement.

Amphiboles are amazing minerals existing in a wide range of temperature and pressure and accommodating a diversity of elements in their structure. These compounds can be potential functional materials because they exhibit strongly anisotropic properties stemming from their structural anisotropy.

My team and I developed a deeply learned broadband encoding stochastic hyperspectral camera. As a microscopy developer, why do I want to do this?

We developed a facile and scalable process to synthesize ultrathin (0.5 to 20 μm), free-standing and mechanically robust Li metal foils within graphene oxide host, enabling ideal prelithiation of conventional Li-ion full cells and prolong the cycle life of Li metal full cells by nine times.
