With PBDB-T as the Donor, the PCE of Non-Fullerene Organic Solar Cells Based on Small Molecule INTIC Increased by 52.4%
摘要： At present, most high-performance non-fullerene materials are centered on fused rings. With the increase in the number of fused rings, production costs and production difficulties increase. Compared with other non-fullerenes, small molecule INTIC has the advantages of easy synthesis and strong and wide infrared absorption. According to our previous report, the maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of an organic solar cell using PTB7-Th:INTIC as the active layer was 7.27%. In this work, other polymers, PTB7, PBDB-T and PBDB-T-2F, as the donor materials, with INTIC as the acceptor, are selected to fabricate cells with the same structure to optimize their photovoltaic performance. The experimental results show that the optimal PCE of PBDB-T:INTIC based organic solar cells is 11.08%, which, thanks to the open voltage (VOC) increases from 0.80 V to 0.84 V, the short circuit current (JSC) increases from 15.32 mA/cm2 to 19.42 mA/cm2 and the fill factor (FF) increases from 60.08% to 67.89%, then a 52.4% improvement in PCE is the result, compared with the devices based on PTB7-Th:INTIC. This is because the PBDB-T:INTIC system has better carrier dissociation and extraction, carrier transportation and higher carrier mobility.

Aromatic imide/amide-based organic small-molecule emitters for organic light-emitting diodes
摘要： Organic electroluminescence materials play an important role in improving the optoelectronic performance of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Aromatic imide/amide-based organic small-molecule emitters have caught increasing attention due to their unique properties, such as strong electron-withdrawing characteristics, rigid structures and high-fluorescence quantum yields. In recent years, aromatic imide/amide semiconductors have been developed rapidly, but few reviews have been specially reported on their application in OLEDs. This study classified aromatic imides/amides into maleimide (MAI), phthalimide (PHI), naphthalimide (NAI), perylenediimide (PDI), and other imide/amide units according to the chemical structure to summarize the advances of imide/amide-based organic small-molecule emitters from the perspective of device performance and molecular design rules over the past 20 years. The luminescent mechanism was also explored. The findings of this study might provide a constructive guide towards future exploration and promote the further development of innovative imide/amide-based emitters.

Long-Range Single-Molecule F??rster Resonance Energy Transfer between Alexa Dyes in Zero-Mode Waveguides
摘要： Zero-mode waveguide (ZMW) nano-apertures milled in metal films were proposed to improve the F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency and enable single-molecule FRET detection beyond the 10 nm barrier, overcoming the restrictions of diffraction-limited detection in a homogeneous medium. However, the earlier ZMW demonstrations were limited to the Atto 550?Atto 647N fluorophore pair, asking the question whether the FRET enhancement observation was an artifact related to this specific set of fluorescent dyes. Here, we use Alexa Fluor 546 and Alexa Fluor 647 to investigate single-molecule FRET at large donor?acceptor separations exceeding 10 nm inside ZMWs. These Alexa fluorescent dyes feature a markedly different chemical structure, surface charge, and hydrophobicity as compared to their Atto counterparts. Our single molecule data on Alexa 546?Alexa 647 demonstrate enhanced FRET efficiencies at large separations exceeding 10 nm, extending the spatial range available for FRET and confirming the earlier conclusions. By showing that the FRET enhancement inside a ZMW does not depend on the set of fluorescent dyes, this report is an important step to establish the relevance of ZMWs to extend the sensitivity and detection range of FRET, while preserving its ability to work on regular fluorescent dye pairs.

Over 14% Efficiency Nonfullerene All-Small-Molecule Organic Solar Cells Enabled by Improving the Ordering of Molecular Donor via Side-Chains Engineering
摘要： Improving the short current density (Jsc) is a big challenge for gaining highly efficient nonfullerene all-small-molecule organic solar cells (NFASM-OSCs). Herein, a novel small molecular donor, BT-2F which is derived from previously reported BTEC-2F, was designed and synthesized. The shortened alkyl-chains with higher regularity endow BT-2F with more ordered packing arrangement and more compact lamellar stacking as evidenced by the characterization of differential scanning calorimetry and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. By blending BT-2F with Y6 or N3, BT-2F based devices showed impressive power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 13.80% and 14.09% respectively, much higher than the reported PCE of 13.34% for BTEC-2F:Y6. Besides, the efficiency of 14.09% is also among the highest PCE value reported so far for NFASM-OSCs. The distinctly improved Jsc devoted major efforts to enhancing the PCE values, meanwhile both BT-2F:Y6 and BT-2F:N3 still keep the high fill factors over 70%, which are ascribed to the good balance between high crystallinity and proper phase separation.

Structural, Photophysical and Magnetic Studies of {Ln2} Assembled about Oxime
摘要： A series of bifunctional [Hpy]2[Ln2(NO3)2(ampy)4(H2shi)2] ({Ln2}; Ln = Eu(1), Gd(2) and Dy(3); H3shi = salicylhydroxamic acid; Hampy = 5-aminopyridine-2-carboxylic acid) have been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that complexes 1 and 3 are isostructural. The complexes {Ln2} exhibit either photophysical or magnetic properties in respect to the central lanthanide ion. It is rarely observed that 1 gives bright and red emission with high quantum yield (16%) and a long luminescence lifetime (547 μs). Magnetic measurement reveals that 3 exhibits significant single molecule magnet behavior with an effective energy barrier of 31 K.

Super-resolution imaging of self-assembled nanocarriers using quantitative spectroscopic analysis for cluster extraction
摘要： Self-assembled nanocarriers have inspired a range of applications for bioimaging, diagnostics, and drug delivery. Non-invasive visualization and characterization of nanocarriers are important for understanding their structure to function relationship. However, quantitative visualization of nanocarriers in the sample’s native environment remains challenging using existing technologies. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has the potential to provide both high-resolution visualization and quantitative analysis of nanocarriers in their native environment. However, non-specific binding of fluorescent probes used in SMLM can introduce artifacts, which impose challenges in quantitative analysis of SMLM images. We showed the feasibility of using spectroscopic point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (sPAINT) to visualize self-assembled polymersomes (PS) with molecular specificity. Furthermore, we analyzed the unique spectral signatures of Nile Red (NR) molecules bound to the PS to reject artifacts from non-specific NR bindings. We further developed quantitative spectroscopic analysis for cluster extraction (qSPACE) to increase the localization density by 4-fold compared to sPAINT; thus, reducing variations in PS size measurements to less than 5%. Finally, using qSPACE we quantitatively imaged PS at various concentrations in aqueous solutions with ~20-nm localization precision and 97% reduction in sample misidentification relative to conventional SMLM.

Out-of-Plane Nanoscale Reorganization of Lipid Molecules and Nanoparticles Revealed by Plasmonic Spectroscopy
摘要： Lipid bilayers assembled on solid substrates have been extensively studied with single-molecule resolution as the molecules diffuse in 2D, however the out-of-plane motion is typically ignored. Here we present sub-nanometer out-of-plane diffusion of nanoparticles attached to hybrid lipid bilayers (HBLs) assembled on metal surfaces. The nanoscale cavity formed between Au nanoparticle and Au film provides strongly-enhanced optical fields capable of locally probing HBLs assembled in the gaps. This allows us to spectroscopically resolve the nanoparticles assembled on bilayers, near edges, and in membrane defects, showing the strong influence of charged lipid rafts. Nanoparticles sitting on the edges of the HBL are observed to flip onto and off the bilayer, with flip energies of 10 meV showing how thermal energies dynamically modify lipid arrangements around a nanoparticle. We further resolve the movement of individual lipid molecules by doping the HBL with low concentrations of Texas-red (TxR) dye-labeled lipids.

摘要： Synergistic optimization of donor-acceptor blend morphologyis a hurdle in the path of realizing efficient non-fullerene small-molecule organic solar cells (NFSM-OSCs) due to the anisotropic conjugated backbones of both donor and acceptor. Therefore, developing a facile molecular design strategy to effectively regulate the crystalline properties of photoactive materials, and thus, enable the optimization of blend morphology is of vital importance. In this study, a new donor molecule B1, comprising phenyl-substituted benzo-dithiophene (BDT) central unit, exhibits strong interaction with the non-fullerene acceptor BO-4Cl in comparison with its corresponding thiophene-substituted BDT-based material, BTR. As a result, the B1 is affected and induced from an edge-on to a face-on orientation by the acceptor, while the BTR and the acceptor behave individually for the similar molecular orientation in pristine and blend films according to grazing incidence wide angle X-ray scattering results. It means the donor-acceptor blend morphology is synergistically optimized in the B1 system, and the B1:BO-4Cl-based devices achieve an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.3%, further certified to be 15.1% by the National Institute of Me-trology, China. Our results demonstrate a simple and effective strategy to improve the crystalline properties of the donor molecule as well as synergistically optimize the morphology of the all-small-molecule system, leading to the high-performance NFSM-OSCs.

Three-player polaritons: nonadiabatic fingerprints in an entangled atom-molecule-photon system
摘要： A quantum system composed of a molecule and an atomic ensemble, con?ned in a microscopic cavity, is investigated theoretically. The indirect coupling between atoms and the molecule, realized by their interaction with the cavity radiation mode, leads to a coherent mixing of atomic and molecular states. It is shown for the Na2 molecule that by changing the cavity wavelength and the molecular states, and at strong enough cavity ?eld strengths hybrid atom-molecule-photon polaritons are formed. Moreover, an unforeseen intensity borrowing e?ect, which can be seen as a strong nonadiabatic ?ngerprint, is identi?ed in the atomic transition peak, originating from the contamination of the atomic excited state with excited molecular rovibronic states.

Molecular Stacking Effect on Small-Molecular Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Prepared with Solution Process
摘要： The light emitting layer (EML) is generally prepared by mixing host and dopant to realize organic light emitting diode (OLED). However, phase separation is often observed during the fabrication process to prepare OLEDs depending on the structure of the host materials. In particular, phase separation due to π-π stacking is frequently observed during thermal annealing for the solution process. The annealing process is required for solvent removal and complete relaxation of the molecule. Hence, the materials with a high glass transition temperature (Tg) are ideal because phase separation occurs due to π-π stacking during annealing process if Tg is too low. To understand this phenomenon, we compared two host materials with similar molecular weights but different three-dimensional connectivity, which causes different rotational freedom. Then, we investigated the effect on the device properties depending on the annealing conditions. In both materials, when the annealing temperature rises above 120 °C, the dopant completely escaped from the EML. However, the material that does not disturb the molecular stacking order by annealing due to its limited free rotation through internal bond shows much better device characteristics even after annealing at a higher temperature than Tg. The results show that interdiffusion at the interface and unstable internal density distribution with annealing temperature are responsible for the device degradation behavior.
