As two coexisting and fast-growing research fields in modern synthetic chemistry, the
merging of organocatalysis and C–H bond functionalization is well foreseeable, and the joint …

Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

Transfer of both chirality and energy information plays an important role in biological
systems. Here we show a chiral donor π-gelator and assembled it with an achiral π-acceptor …

Solar energy has a great potential as a clean, cheap, renewable and sustainable energy
source, but it must be captured and transformed into useful forms of energy as plants do. An …

The future of energy supply depends on innovative breakthroughs regarding the design of
cheap, sustainable, and efficient systems for the conversion and storage of renewable …

The design of optimal light-harvesting (supra) molecular systems and materials is one of the
most challenging frontiers of science. Theoretical methods and computational models play a …

In recent years, organic solar cells utilizing π-conjugated polymers have attracted
widespread interest in both the academic and, increasingly, the commercial communities …

While natural photosynthesis serves as the model system for efficient charge separation and
decoupling of redox reactions, bio‐inspired artificial systems typically lack applicability …

The increasing energy demand in the near future will force us to seek environmentally clean
alternative energy resources. The emergence of nanomaterials as the new building blocks …

Great progress has been made on solution-processed, bulkheterojunction (BHJ) fullerene-
based organic solar cells (OSCs), and the reported power conversion efficiency (PCE) …
