Entering the Strong Coupling Regime in Conventional Organic Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Organic solar cells convert light into fossil‐free energy, yet they still cannot compete with their silicon counterparts. Strong exciton‐photon coupling can ameliorate some properties of organic solar cells, but it requires additional mirrors that diminish light absorbance. Here, mirror‐free strong exciton‐photon coupling is implemented in conventional

Surface Wrinkling of Plasma‐Exposed PDMS is Caused by Water Vapor Sorption: An Optical Environmental Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wrinkling of soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), underpins a myriad of technologies. Plasma‐oxidation of PDMS induces spontaneous wrinkling, which is canonically attributed to thermal expansion‐contraction of bilayers. Employing experiments and modelling, it is demonstrated that sorption of water vapor is instead responsible for ...

Thermal Expansion Behavior of PM6 Studied Using In Situ Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In organic photovoltaics, small morphological changes can significantly impact performance. This study examines the thermal expansion of PM6 using in situ WAXS and GIWAXS from 30 to 300 °C. By analyzing samples of increasing complexity, factors like initial anisotropic nanoscale arrangements and substrate mismatches are quantified, revealing systematic

Additively Manufactured 3D Auxetic Metamaterials for Structurally Guided Capacitive and Resistive Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐architected auxetic metamaterial is used to construct capacitive and resistive tactile sensors via digital light processing‐based additive manufacturing. The inward deformation of the proposed structure under compression amplifies local strain, enhancing sensing performance.

Aerosol Jet Printed MXene Microsupercapacitors for Flexible and Washable Textile Energy Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel approach using aerosol jet printing to fabricate e‐textiles with additive‐free aqueous Ti3C2Tx MXene inks. The flexible electrodes, systematically explored on cotton, polycotton, and polyester, exhibit remarkable areal capacitances of up to 4.4 F cm−2, achieving superior high‐rate performance, capacitance retention, and ...
