Specific Position of Halogen in Crystalline TADF Scintillators Enables Efficient Triplet Harvesting Through Vibrational Modulation of Spin–Orbit Coupling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Specific ortho‐halogenation transforms crystalline TADF emitters into efficient organic scintillators. Fluorine reduces the effective singlet–triplet separation, while chlorine combines near‐degenerate excited states with vibrational modulation of spin–orbit coupling.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Bis‐Naphthyl Dipicolinic Dicarboxamide‐Based Self‐Assembled Aqueous Nano Dispersion as an Efficient Light Harvesting Medium and Cucurbit[7]Uril Host Complexation Effect Study

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Bis‐naphthyl‐4‐hydroxy‐dipicolinic‐dicarboxamide, a small molecule, forms nanodispersion as an efficient light‐harvesting medium in aqueous solution. Further cucurbit[7]uril addition was found to inhibit the FRET co‐assembly by host‐guest complexation. ABSTRACT Development of artificial light harvesting systems in a minimalistic self‐assembly model is ...

Hydrophobic 1D and 3D Anodic Alumina Radiative Coolers on Aluminum: Humidity‐Resilient Daytime Sub‐Ambient Cooling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
1D and 3D nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) surfaces were functionalized with stearic acid (STA) to increase hydrophobicity and reduce the influence of humidity on radiative cooling performance. The STA coating improves cooling behavior under humid atmospheric conditions (Madrid summer), before while keeping the optical properties required for ...
