Electrons are the workhorses of solar energy conversion. Conversion of the energy of light to
electricity in photovoltaics, or to energy-rich molecules (solar fuel) through photocatalytic …

We report formate production via CO2 electroreduction at a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 93%
and a partial current density of 930 mA cm–2, an activity level of potential industrial interest …

Immobilized molecular electrocatalysts can exhibit altered proton-coupled electron transfer
(PCET) chemistry compared to their nonimmobilized counterparts. Recent experiments …

Quantum dot (QD) solids represent a new type of condensed matter drawing high
fundamental and applied interest. Quantum confinement in individual QDs, combined with …

SnO2 has been the most commonly used electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar
cells (PSCs) due to its excellent electron mobility and stability. To meet the applications of …

The construction of Schottky junctions is considered to be an efficient way to boost spatial
charge separation and transfer in photocatalytic systems. In this work, we construct the …

Neutral oxygen vacancies (Ovʼs) in semiconductor oxides give rise to excess electrons that
have the potential to affect the binding of adsorbates to the surface through surface-to …

Thiol ligands are widely used to modify quantum dots (QDs) due to their strong affinity.
Aromatic structures can be introduced to improve the charge transport of the QDs. In this …

High defect tolerance has been considered a primary reason for the long charge carrier
lifetime and high photoluminescence quantum yield in bulk lead halide perovskites (LHPs) …

Defects arising on the surfaces of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) limit the applications
of these otherwise promising materials. Efforts to rationally passivate these sites using …
