Unlocking High‐Performance in All‐Organic Solar Cells by the Development of Organic Electrodes with No Acid and High‐Temperature Treatment and the Effective Preparation Thereof on Organic Multilayer Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The developed all‐organic solar cells achieve a power conversion efficiency of 8.7%, more than double the previous record. In addition, bioplastic substrates are used to produce environmentally friendly solar cells with an efficiency of 8.6%. These results are achieved by developing high‐performance organic electrodes without acid doping or high ...

Hierarchically Engineered Triple‐Defensive Antifouling Coating with Well‐Regulated Structure for Enhanced Wastewater Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by shark skin, which has a hydrophilic “denticle layer” and a low surface energy “mucus layer,” a triple‐defense antifouling coating is developed. This coating features a robust hydrophilic catalytic nanoparticle layer overlaid with dispersed hydrophobic perfluoro‐silane domains, optimizing fouling resistance, release, and degradation for ...

Transboundary Pollution Externalities: Think Globally, Act Locally? [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We analyze the implications of transboundary pollution externalities on environmental policymaking in a spatial and finite time horizon setting. We focus on a simple regional optimal pollution control problem in order to compare the global and local solutions in which, respectively, the transboundary externality is and is not taken into account in the ...

Superlubricious Surfaces Through Surface Attached Hydrogels Obtained by C,H‐insertion Crosslinking

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Taking synovial joints as a source of inspiration, the friction properties of surfaces covered with 1d‐swelling polyelectrolyte hydrogels in combination with a shear‐thinning aqueous lubricant are studied. Such systems obtained by C,H insertion crosslinking show superlubricious behavior, even surpassing the friction values reported for the natural ...

Modeling the impact of rain on population exposed to air pollution [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Environmental pollution, comprising of air, water and soil have emerged as a serious problem in past two decades. The air pollution is caused by contamination of air due to various natural and anthropogenic activities. The growing air pollution has diverse adverse effects on human health and other living species. However, a significant reduction in the

Active Thermal Field Integration for Marangoni‐Driven Salt Rejection and Water Collection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermal gradient fabric (TGF) evaporator with an auxiliary active thermal field can simultaneously increase evaporation rates and achieve long‐term salt rejection. The auxiliary active thermal field is well integrated with solar energy to construct moderate, extensive, and circulating Marangoni flow for salt rejection.

Biointerfacing with AgBiS2 Quantum Dots for Pseudocapacitive Photostimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
It is demonstrated that AgBiS2 quantum dots exhibit unique photoinduced pseudocapacitive charge transfer properties, enabling efficient light‐to‐electrical energy conversion. These quantum dots facilitate enhanced light absorption and transduction when integrated with ZnO nanowires, which serve as an effective charge transport medium.

Synergistic Effects of Ruthenium and Zinc Active Sites Fine Tune the Electronic Structures of Augmented Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an electronic fine‐tuning (EFT) strategy to optimize the electronic structures of Ru species and single‐atom Zn sites by the virtue of layered nanosheets, significantly enhancing ORR and HER activities. Spectroscopic analysis and theoretical calculations uncover that this EFT effect breaks the ORR scaling limitation and positions ...

Microbial Consortium with High Cellulolytic Activity (MCHCA) for enhanced biogas production.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The use of lignocellulosic biomass as a substrate in agricultural biogas plants is very popular and yields good results. However, the efficiency of anaerobic digestion, and thus biogas production, is not always satisfactory due to the slow or incomplete ...
