In the past few decades, there has been a wide research interest in titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials due to their applications in photocatalytic hydrogen generation and environmental pollution removal. Improving the optical absorption properties of TiO2 nanomaterials has been successfully demonstrated to enhance their photocatalytic activities, especially in the report of black TiO2 nanoparticles. The recent progress in the investigation of black TiO2 nanomaterials has been reviewed here, and special emphasis has been given on their fabrication methods along with their various chemical/physical properties and applications.

Black titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials

Molecular design of non-fullerene acceptors is of vital importance for high-efficiency organic solar cells. The branched alkyl chain modification is often regarded as a counter-intuitive approach, as it may introduce an undesirable steric hindrance that reduces charge transport in non-fullerene acceptors. Here we show the design and synthesis of a highly efficient non-fullerene acceptor family by substituting the beta position of the thiophene unit on a Y6-based dithienothiophen[3,2-b]-pyrrolobenzothiadiazole core with branched alkyl chains. It was found that such a modification to a different alkyl chain length could completely change the molecular packing behaviour of non-fullerene acceptors, leading to improved structural order and charge transport in thin films. An unprecedented efficiency of 18.32% (certified value of 17.9%) with a fill factor of 81.5% is achieved for single-junction organic solar cells. This work reveals the importance of the branched alkyl chain topology in tuning the molecular packing and blend morphology, which leads to improved organic photovoltaic performance. Molecular design of acceptor and donor molecules has enabled major progress in organic photovoltaics. Li et al. show that branched alkyl chains in non-fullerene acceptors allow favourable morphology in the active layer, enabling a certified device efficiency of 17.9%.

Non-fullerene acceptors with branched side chains and improved molecular packing to exceed 18% efficiency in organic solar cells

A composite made from the assembly of graphene oxide (GO) and copper-centered metal organic framework (MOF) shows good performance as a tri-functional catalyst in three important electrocatalysis reactions, namely: the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). One of the challenges in the area of electrocatalysis is to find an effective catalyst that will reduce, as well as generate, oxygen at moderate temperatures. The enhanced electrocatalytic properties and stability in acid of the GO-MOF composite is due to the unqiue porous scaffold structure, improved charge transport and synergistic interactions between the GO and MOF. In polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell testing, the GO-incorporated Cu-MOF composite delivers a power density that is 76% that of the commercial Pt catalyst.

Ternary heterojunction strategies appear to be an efficient approach to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) through harvesting more sunlight. Ternary OSCs are fabricated by employing wide bandgap polymer donor (PM6), narrow bandgap nonfullerene acceptor (Y6), and PC71 BM as the third component to tune the light absorption and morphologies of the blend films. A record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.67% (certified as 16.0%) on rigid substrate is achieved in an optimized PM6:Y6:PC71 BM blend ratio of 1:1:0.2. The introduction of PC71 BM endows the blend with enhanced absorption in the range of 300-500 nm and optimises interpenetrating morphologies to promote photogenerated charge dissociation and extraction. More importantly, a PCE of 14.06% for flexible ITO-free ternary OSCs is obtained based on this ternary heterojunction system, which is the highest PCE reported for flexible state-of-the-art OSCs. A very promising ternary heterojunction strategy to develop highly efficient rigid and flexible OSCs is presented.

Non-fullerene all-small-molecule organic solar cells (NFSM-OSCs) have shown potential as OSCs, owing to their high purity, easy synthesis and good reproducibility. However, challenges in the modulation of phase separation morphology have limited their development. Herein, two novel small molecular donors, BTEC-1F and BTEC-2F, derived from the small molecule DCAO3TBDTT, are synthesized. Using Y6 as the acceptor, devices based on non-fluorinated DCAO3TBDTT showed an open circuit voltage (Voc ) of 0.804 V and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.64 %. Mono-fluorinated BTEC-1F showed an increased Voc of 0.870 V and a PCE of 11.33 %. The fill factor (FF) of di-fluorinated BTEC-2F-based NFSM-OSC was improved to 72.35 % resulting in a PCE of 13.34 %, which is higher than that of BTEC-1F (61.35 %) and DCAO3TBDTT (60.95 %). To our knowledge, this is the highest PCE for NFSM-OSCs. BTEC-2F had a more compact molecular stacking and a lower crystallinity which enhanced phase separation and carrier transport.
