Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a new hole transporting material (HTM) mechanism for self‐assembled monolayers in near‐infrared organic photodetectors. The formation of zwitterions induces a strong electric field that significantly increases the work function of HTM‐coated indium tin oxide substrates. The devices exhibit low dark current and noise, along with high

Multifunctional Micro/Nano-Engineered Solar Thermal Receivers
, 2021 Solar thermal receivers/collectors are designed to absorb as much sunlight as possible (e.g. increasing energy inputs) while minimizing heat loss and pumping energy (e.g. reducing energy losses). While nanofluid-based receivers have been proposed as an elegant solution for increasing energy inputs, only half the challenge for overall performance has ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A polyelectrolyte complex‐based sorbent is produced by scalable, environmentally benign aqueous phase inversion. Its porous, LiCl‐ and GO‐integrated architecture enables hourly adsorption−desorption cycles at low relative humidity (RH < 30%). A large‐scale prototype achieves multicyclic, solar‐driven atmospheric water harvesting of 1.37 L kg−1 day−1 ...
