Dual Single Atoms Boosting Photocatalytic Upcycling of Raw Polyvinylidene Fluoride Plastic
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.To resolve the catastrophic disaster of plastic contamination, the Cu‐Fe dual‐single‐atom‐loaded In2P3S9 NSs photocatalyst was prepared for direct conversion of raw polyvinylidene fluoride plastic into valuable chemicals. The dual‐single‐atom catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total acetic/formic acid production of ∼1351.8 µmol g−1 ...

Laser‐Induced Local De‐Doping in Organic Semiconductors
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The polymer PBTTT‐C14 doped with the small molecule acceptor F4TCNQ is considered as a benchmark material system. Mask‐free, microscale patterning of the doping level via laser‐induced heating and sublimation of dopant molecules is shown. Controlling laser irradiance and swath spacing allows dopant level control with laser‐limited resolution, opening ...

Post‐Deposition Photonic Curing Treatment for Improved Sb2Se3 Photovoltaic Performance
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Millisecond‐scale photonic curing overcomes the open‐circuit voltage deficit in Sb2Se3 solar cells by transforming the rear interface. This ultrafast treatment enhances crystallographic texture and smooths the absorber surface, suppressing interfacial recombination and boosting power conversion efficiency to 8.2%.
