Integrating an NIR fluorescent probe with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent to
harvest complementary imaging information is challenging. Here, we have designed water …

Improving the light-harvesting efficiency and boosting open circuit voltage are crucial
challenges for enhancing the efficiency of organic solar cells. This work introduces seven …

For almost 100 years molecular aggregates have attracted considerable scientific attention,
because their electronically excited states feature interesting collective effects that result in …

Organic photovoltaic devices have improved dramatically, and small molecular systems with
simple synthesis such as squaraines are prime candidates for cost-effective …

Tin-lead alloyed perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) offer a promising pathway toward low-
