Aggregation-Induced Emission: Together We Shine, United We Soar!

Electrochemical energy storage technology is based on devices capable of exhibiting high energy density (batteries) or high power density (electrochemical capacitors). There is a growing need, for current and near-future applications, where both high energy and high power densities are required in the same material. Pseudocapacitance, a faradaic process involving surface or near surface redox reactions, offers a means of achieving high energy density at high charge–discharge rates. Here, we focus on the pseudocapacitive properties of transition metal oxides. First, we introduce pseudocapacitance and describe its electrochemical features. Then, we review the most relevant pseudocapacitive materials in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The major challenges for pseudocapacitive materials along with a future outlook are detailed at the end.

Organic Sensitizers for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Different cobalt phosphide particles having one-dimensional needle-like (1D CoP-N), two-dimensional sheet-like (2D CoP-S), and multi-dimensional pompon-like (3-2-1D CoP-P) morphologies were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method, followed by a...

The TiO 2 photonic crystal compact layer (TiO 2 PhC CL) has been successfully prepared. The TiO 2 PhC CL combined conventional compact layer and new photonic crystal as inverse opal, and it could both suppress electron recombination and increase light path at specific wavelength. The UV-visible spectra showed that the TiO 2 PhC CL indeed reflect more visible light and these wavelength correspond to N719 dye's specific absorption spectra. This CL would be applied to a back-illuminated dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).
