Self-assembled monolayer modified copper(Ⅰ) iodide hole transport layer for efficient polymer solar cells

The morphology of the copper iodide （CuI） film as an inorganic p-type material has an important influence on enhancing the performance of polymer solar cells （PSCs）. A self-assembled monolayer of 3-aminopropanoic acid （C3-SAM） was used on the surface of indium tin oxide （ITO） before depositing the CuI films. Consequently, a well-distributed and smooth CuI film was formed with pinhole free and complete surface coverage. The root mean square of the corresponding CuI film was reduced from 3.63 nm for ITO/CuI to 0.77 nm. As a result, the average power conversion efficiency （PCE） of PSCs with the device structure of ITO/C3-SAM/CuI/P3HT：PC61BM/ZnO/Al increased significantly from 2.55% （best 2.66%） to 3.04% （best 3.20%） after C3-SAM treatment. This work provides an effective strategy to control the morphology of CuI films through interracial modification and promotes its application in efficient PSCs.

Multi-stimuli-responsive aggregation-induced emission copper iodide cluster

Stimuli-responsive luminescent materials have attracted significant attention in the development of smart photoactive materials for both fundamental research and technological applications.In this work,a new copper iodide cluster(1)with aggregationinduced emission(AIE)characteristic,was obtained combining Cu_(4)I_(4) core with rhodamine B derivative ligand.1 has reversible and distinct multi-stimuli-responsive luminescence for external temperature,volatile organic compound,and mechanical force.Significantly,1 exhibited unusual large blue shift(84 nm)after being ground,which originated from the change of intermolecular interactions.Moreover,1 exhibits high oxygen quenching efficiency for 82.2% at 1 bar.Mechanistic studies showed that the multi-stimuli-responsive luminescence properties of 1 can be attributed to the regulation of cluster-centered luminescence process,metal-to-ligand charge transfer process,halide-to-metal charge transfer luminescence process and aggregationinduced barrier to oxygen process.This work not only reports an AIE copper iodide cluster,but also provides a new strategy to develop multi-stimuli-responsive luminescence materials.

CPL-active hybrid copper(Ⅰ)halides enabled by cation inclusion with chiral crown-ether

Chiral hybrid metal halides with high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)and superior dissymmetry factor(g_(lum))are promising candidates for circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)emitting sources.However,it is a great challenge to achieve both high g_(lum)and large PLQY.Here,we report a new supramolecular strategy to fabricate chiral hybrid Cu(Ⅰ)-halides with nearunity quantum yields and intense CPL emissions.The dissymmetry factor can be dramatically modulated by tuning the hostguest complexations.Attributing to the chirality and variable conformations of the host-guest complexes,a series of chiral[G@L^(R/S)]_(2)Cu_(4)I_(6)have been prepared.The incorporation of different cations within the chiral L^(R/S)hosts leads to variations of packing modes along the c-axis and different extent of distortions in the[Cu_(4)I_(6)]_(2)-polyhedra.Among them,[H_(3)O@L^(R/S)]+cations are stacked based on Van der Waals interactions and hierarchically self-assemble into a right/left-handed helix in[H_(3)O@L^(R/S)]_(2)Cu_(4)I_(6),which results in a high g_(lum)of-7×10^(-3)and a large PLQY of 96.92%.Notably,[G@L^(R/S)]_(2)Cu_(4)I_(6)shows promising applications in single-component white light emitting diodes(WLEDs),exhibiting a maximum dissymmetry factor of-1.2×10^(-3).The effective host-guest complexation and oriented hierarchical self-assembly provide an effective strategy for the development of high-performance CPL materials.
