TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the most critical challenges to developing robust, high-energy Li/air batteries and suggest future research directions to understand and overcome these challenges and predict that Li-air batteries will primarily remain a research topic for the next several years.

TL;DR: This Perspective introduces the Harvard Clean Energy Project (CEP), a theory-driven search for the next generation of organic solar cell materials, and gives a broad overview of its setup and infrastructure, present first results, and outline upcoming developments.

TL;DR: It is shown that in silico screening of novel derivatives of the dinaphtho[2,3-b:2′,3′-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene semiconductor with high hole mobility and air stability can lead to the discovery of a new high-performance semiconductor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a physics-based model that incorporates the major thermodynamic, transport, and kinetic processes of the Li/oxygen battery, and obtain a good match between porous-electrode experiments and simulations by using an empirical fit to the resistance of the discharge products (which include carbonates and oxides when using carbonate solvents) as a function of thickness.

TL;DR: This work focuses on the development of donor materials for organic photovoltaics by means of a cheminformatics approach, and forms empirical models, parametrized using a training set of donor polymers with available experimental data, for the important current–voltage and efficiency characteristics of candidate molecules.
