Abstract
To accelerate the pace in the field of photothermal therapy (PTT), it is urged to develop easily accessible photothermal agents (PTAs) showing high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). As a proof-of-concept, hereby a conventional strategy is presented to prepare donor-acceptor (D-A) structured PTAs through cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) reaction, and the resultant PTAs give high PCE upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. By joint experimental-theoretical study, these PTAs exhibit prominent D-A structure with strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics and significantly twisting between D and A units which account for the high PCEs. Among them, the DMA-TCNQ exhibits the strongest absorption in NIR range as well as the highest PCE of 91.3% upon irradiation by 760-nm LED lamp (1.2 W cm-2). In vitro and in vivo experimental results revealed that DMA-TCNQ exhibits low dark toxicity and high phototoxicity after IR irradiation along with nude mice tumor inhibition up to 81.0% through intravenous therapy. The findings demonstrate CA-RE reaction as a convenient approach to obtain twisted D-A structured PTAs for effective PTT and probably promote the progress of cancer therapies.

Abstract
Recently, facilely designable metal-organic frameworks have gained attention in the construction of photothermal conversion materials. Nonetheless, most of the previously reported photothermal conversion metal-organic frameworks exhibit limited light absorption capabilities. In this work, a distinctive metal-organic framework with heterogeneous periodic alternate spatial arrangements of metal-oxygen clusters and perylene-based derivative molecules was prepared by in situ synthesis. The building blocks in this inimitable structure behave as both electron donors and electron acceptors, giving rise to the significant inherent charge transfer in this crystalline material, resulting in a narrow band gap with excellent panchromatic absorption, with the ground state being the charge transfer state. Moreover, it can retain excellent air-, photo-, and water-stability in the solid state. The excellent stability and broad light absorption characteristics enable the effective realization of near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion, including infrequent NIR-II photothermal conversion, in this perylene-based metal-organic framework.

Abstract
Harvesting sunlight into cost-effective electricity presents an enticing prospect for self-powered wearable applications. The photothermal materials with an extensive absorption are fundamental to achieve optical and thermal concentration of the sunlight for efficiency output electricity of wearable solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs). Here, we synthesize an organic charge-transfer (CT) cocrystal with a flat absorption from ultraviolet to second near-infrared region (200 to 1950 nanometers) and a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of 80.5%, which is introduced into polyurethane toward large-area nanofiber membrane by electrospinning technology. These corresponding membranes demonstrate a high PCE of 73.7% under the strain more than 80%. Sandwiched with carbon nanotube-based thermoelectric fibers, the membranes as stretchable solar absorbers of STEGs could supply a notably increase temperature gradient, processing a maximum output voltage density of 23.4 volts per square meter at 1:00 p.m. under sunlight. This strategy presents an important insight in heat management for wearable STEGs with a desired electricity output.

Mechanochemistry toward Organic "Salt" via Integer-Charge-Transfer Cocrystal Strategy for Rapid, Efficient, and Scalable Near-Infrared Photothermal Conversion. CHEMSUSCHEM 2023; 16:e202300644.

Abstract
Inspired by the concept of ionic charge-transfer complexes for the Mott insulator, integer-charge-transfer (integer-CT) cocrystals are designed for NIR photo-thermal conversion (PTC). With amino-styryl-pyridinium dyes and F4TCNQ (7,7',8,8'-Tetracyano-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroquinodimethane) serving as donor/acceptor (D/A) units, integer-CT cocrystals, including amorphous stacking "salt" and segregated stacking "ionic crystal", are synthesized by mechanochemistry and solution method, respectively. Surprisingly, the integer-CT cocrystals are self-assembled only through multiple D-A hydrogen bonds (C-H⋅⋅⋅X (X=N, F)). Strong charge-transfer interactions in cocrystals contribute to the strong light-harvesting ability at 200-1500 nm. Under 808 nm laser illumination, both the "salt" and "ionic crystal" display excellent PTC efficiency beneficial from ultrafast (∼2 ps) nonradiative decay of excited states. Thus integer-CT cocrystals are potential candidates for rapid, efficient, and scalable PTC platforms. Especially amorphous "salt" with good photo/thermal stability is highly desirable in practical large-scale solar-harvesting/conversion applications in water environment. This work verifies the validity of the integer-CT cocrystal strategy, and charts a promising path to synthesize amorphous PTC materials by mechanochemical method in one-step.

Abstract
The first series of monocarboxylate-protected superatomic silver nanoclusters was synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Specifically, compounds [Ag16(L)8(9-AnCO2)12]2+ (L = Ph3P (I), (4-ClPh)3P (II), (2-furyl)3P (III), and Ph3As (IV)) were prepared by a solvent-thermal method under alkaline conditions. These clusters exhibit a similar unprecedented structure containing a [Ag8@Ag8]6+ metal kernel, of which the 2-electron superatomic [Ag8]6+ inner core shows a flattened and puckered hexagonal bipyramid of S6 symmetry. Density functional theory calculations provide a rationalization of the structure and stability of these 2-electron superatoms. Results indicate that the 2 superatomic electrons occupy a superatomic molecular orbital 1S that has a substantial localization on the top and bottom vertices of the bipyramid. The π systems of the anthracenyl groups, as well as the 1S HOMO, are significantly involved in the optical and photothermal behavior of the clusters. The four characterized nanoclusters show high photothermal conversion performance in sunlight. These results show that the unprecedented use of mono-carboxylates in the stabilization of Ag nanoclusters is possible, opening the door for the introduction of various functional groups on their cluster surface.

Abstract
Organic semiconductors have received broad attention and research interest due to their unique integration of semiconducting properties with structural tunability, intrinsic flexibiltiy and low cost. In order to meet the requirements of organic electronic devices and their integrated circuits, p-type, n-type and ambipolar organic semiconductors are all necessary. However, due to the limitation in both material synthesis and device fabrication, the development of n-type and ambipolar materials is quite behind that of p-type materials. Recent development in synthetic methods of organic semiconductors greatly enriches the range of n-type and ambipolar materials. Moreover, the newly developed materials with multiple functions also put forward multi-functional device applications, including some emerging research areas. In this review, we give a timely summary on these impressive advances in n-type and ambipolar organic semiconductors with a special focus on their synthesis methods and advanced materials with enhanced properties of charge carrier mobility, integration of high mobility and strong emission and thermoelectric properties. Finally, multi-functional device applications are further demonstrated as an example of these developed n-type and ambipolar materials.

Abstract
Infrared light accounts for the vast majority of natural light energy, however, the challenge of converting infrared light directly into electricity is too difficult. The photothermoelectric (PTE) effect (connecting the photothermal (PT) and thermoelectric (TE) effects) provides a feasible solution for the indirect conversion of infrared light into electrical energy. Therefore, it is of great significance to actively seek and explore materials with good PT and TE performance to fully harvest infrared light energy. Here, we prepared an organic-inorganic hybrid bulk heterojunction film by combining poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene):polystyrenesulphonate (PEDOT:PSS) and ZnO nanowires (ZnO-NWs). This common composite strategy is able to utilize the ultra-wide spectrum ranging from ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) to near-infrared (NIR) light to realize light-to-electricity conversion based on the PTE effect. ZnO-NWs can not only increase the Seebeck coefficient of PEDOT:PSS, but also enhance the absorption of the hybrid film under the NIR light. Thereby, the enhancement of the photothermal-induced voltage was achieved due to the separation of generated electron-hole pairs in the built-in electric field induced by a photothermal gradient. This study provides a new suggestion for improving the PTE performance of the material and making better use of solar energy.

Abstract
Photothermoelectric (PTE) materials are promising candidates for solar energy harvesting and photodetection applications, especially for near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Although the processability and tunability of organic materials are highly advantageous, examples of organic PTE materials are comparatively rare and their PTE performance is typically limited by poor photothermal (PT) conversion. Here, we report the use of redox-active Sn complexes of tetrathiafulvalene-tetrathiolate (TTFtt) as transmetalating agents for the synthesis of presynthetically redox tuned NiTTFtt materials. Unlike the neutral material NiTTFtt, which exhibits n-type glassy-metallic conductivity, the reduced materials Li1.2Ni0.4[NiTTFtt] and [Li(THF)1.5]1.2Ni0.4[NiTTFtt] (THF = tetrahydrofuran) display physical characteristics more consistent with p-type semiconductors. The broad spectral absorption and electrically conducting nature of these TTFtt-based materials enable highly efficient NIR-thermal conversion and good PTE performance. Furthermore, in contrast to conventional PTE composites, these NiTTFtt coordination polymers are notable as single-component PTE materials. The presynthetically tuned metal-to-insulator transition in these NiTTFtt systems directly modulates their PT and PTE properties.

Abstract
Organic photothermal materials integrating a high-efficiency light-heat conversion effect and high flexibility have generated immense interest in fundamental research and practical applications. Nevertheless, their practical applications still remain a challenge, owing to the complicated design, tedious synthesis, and limited programmable substrates. Herein, an organic charge-transfer cocrystal with a narrow energy gap of 0.33 eV and a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of 69.3% was rationally designed and synthesized via a facile self-assembly process, which was introduced into polyurethane for forming a large-area photothermal nanofiber membrane via electrospinning technology. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy elucidates that the excellent PCE is attributed to the nonradiation transition process, including internal conversion and charge dissociation processes. Furthermore, the temperature of the as-prepared photothermal nanofiber membrane could quickly rise to 52 °C under laser irradiation with a power density of 0.183 W/cm2, suggesting a high PCE of 53.7%. This work successfully achieves the fabrication of a large-area photothermal membrane and the development of photothermal imaging.

Abstract
The photothermoelectric effect, directly converting light energy into electrical energy, shows promising prospects in self-powered broad-band optical detection, which can extend to various applications, such as sensing, optoelectronic communications, and wide-temperature-range measurements. However, the low photosensitivity, narrow-band response, and rapid performance degeneration under continuous illumination restrict its broad application. Herein, we propose a simple bottom-up strategy to manipulate nanowires (NWs) into a well-defined multilayer Te-Ag2Te-Ag NW film, resulting in a high-performance photothermoelectric photodetector with a broad-band responsivity (4.1 V/W), large detectivity (944 MHz1/2 W-1), and fast response speed (0.4-0.7 s from 365 to 1200 nm). In addition, the ultrathin structure endows this device with slow and weak transverse heat conduction, enabling a stable voltage without an obvious degeneration over 1500 s. The highly anisotropic arrangement of NWs gives this device a prominent polarization sensitivity. Prospectively, this hierarchically designed nanowire film provides a promising pathway toward engineering photodetectors with high performance.

Abstract
The enthusiasm for environmental energy harvesting has triggered a boom in research on photo-thermoelectric generators (PTEGs), and the relevant applications are mainly focused on self-energy supply sensors owing to the limitations of their output performances. For this purpose, high-output hierarchical heterogeneous PTEGs were constructed by assembling separately optimized thermoelectric (TE) and photothermal (PT) layers. The pressure and temperature conditions of Ag2Se films during the pressing process were first explored, and the sample with the optimal performance and least defects was selected as the TE layer. At the same time, different morphologies of polypyrrole (PPy) PT layers were electrochemically synthesized. It is found that the three-dimensional structure of Bushy-PPy could effectively improve the light absorption and thus enhance the PT conversion performance. The final assembled PTEG can produce an output voltage of -9.03 mV and an output power of 3.53 μW under the irradiation of a near-infrared light source of 300 mW cm-2 without a cooling source, and it can also achieve considerable output power under visible light irradiation of different intensities. Combining its high retentions of electrical conductivity (99%) and output performance (97%) after 1000 bending-tension cycles, it is proven to be a promising next-generation wearable flexible energy harvesting device.

Abstract
Organic cocrystal exhibits excellent photothermal conversion (PTC), but how the intermolecular interactions of cocrystals regulate the PTC is obscure. Here, two isomeric donor molecules (phenanthrene and anthracene) and two electron-withdrawing molecules (7,7,8,8,8-tetracyanodimethylquinone and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinone dimethane) are self-assembled into the four cocrystals (PTQ, PFQ, ATQ, and AFQ). By changing the molecular configuration of the donor and the electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptor, the intrinsic influencing factors of the intermolecular interaction on the PTC were explored. Under near-infrared laser (808 nm) irradiation, the PTC efficiencies of PTQ, PFQ, AFQ, and ATQ are 35.85, 44.74, 57.00, and 60.53%, respectively. Based on the single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ultrafast time-resolved transient absorption, and excited-state theoretical calculations, we found that the π-π stacking in ATQ and AFQ is conducive to promoting the near-infrared light-harvesting ability and the p-π interaction of cocrystals can regulate the nonradiative rotation of -C(C≡N)2 groups, resulting in a tunable near-infrared PTC via the isomeric cocrystals. Accordingly, the evaporation rate of the porous polyurethane-AFQ foam can reach 1.33 kg·m-2·h-1 in the simulated solar-driven water evaporation system. This work provides a strategy to boost the PTC by the intermolecular interactions of cocrystal materials.

Abstract
Radical-containing frameworks (RCFs) have emerged as promising functional materials in various fields due to the combination of the highly ordered frame structure and the fascinating property of organic radicals. Here, the first example of radical-containing supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) fabricated by the chaotropic effect between closo-dodecaborate cluster (B12 H122- ) and 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPT3+ ) is presented. The SOFs can be easily synthesized by stirring the B12 H122- and the TPT3+ in aqueous solution through self-assembly. Upon 435 nm light irradiation, the SOFs exhibits photochromic behavior from slight yellow (SOF-1) to dark purple (SOF-2). Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy also reveals that stable radicals are generated in situ after light irradiation. Powder X-ray diffraction demonstrates the SOFs maintain their structural stabilities upon light irradiation. More interestingly, the radical-containing SOFs exhibit efficient photothermal effect under 660 nm light irradiation, which can be applied as photothermal agent for antibacterial application both in vitro and in vivo. This work highlights the construction of RCFs through supramolecular self-assembly, which may arouse applications in energy, catalysis, photoluminescence, and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are 3D-architecture compounds of metal ions and organic molecules with sufficient and permanent porosity, showing great potential as a versatile platform to load various functional moieties to endow the hybrid materials with specific applications. Currently, a variety of photothermal nanometals have been embedded into organic ligands for integrating the unique photothermal effects with the merits of MOFs to improve their performances for cancer therapy. In this review, we have summarized a series of novel MOF-based photothermal materials for this unique therapeutic modality against tumors from three main aspects according to their chemical compositions and structures, i) metal-doped MOF, ii) organic-doped MOF, and iii) polymer-coated MOF. In addition, we have summarized the latest developments and characteristics of MOF-based photothermal agents, such as good biocompatibility, low toxicity, and responsive photothermal conversion without destroying the structure of hybrid photothermal agent. At last, we addressed the future perspectives of MOF-based photothermal agent in the field of phototherapy.

Abstract
Highly efficient and mechanically durable photothermal materials are urgently needed for solar harvesting, but their development still remains challenging. Here, inspired by the hierarchically oriented architecture of natural spider silk, an ultrarobust liquid metals (LMs)/polymer composite is presented via dynamic crosslinking based on the unique mechanical deformable characteristic of LMs. Dynamically cross-linked core-shell structured LMs droplets can be squeezed along with the orientational crystallization of polymer chains during drawing, thus enabling LMs nanoparticles to be uniformly programmed in the rigid polyethylene nanofiber skeleton. The resultant composite exhibits an unprecedented combination of strong broad-band light absorption (96.9-99.3%), excellent photothermal conversion ability, remarkable mechanical property (tensile strength of 283.7 MPa, which can lift 200 000 times its own weight), and long-term structural reliability (bearing 100 000 bending cycles). A powerful and durable solar thermoelectric generator system for real-environmental solar-heat-electricity conversion is further demonstrated, providing a valuable guidance for the design and fabrication of high-performance solar-harvesting materials.

Abstract
A large fraction of energy, including solar energy, is dissipated into ambient atmosphere as low-grade waste heat. Efficient utilization of such energy is critical to address the current energy crisis and global warming issue. Herein, the efficient near-IR (NIR)-photothermal, thermoelectric, and thus photo-thermo-electric conversion of polyoxovanadate compound {[Ni(1,10-phenanthroline)3 ][V14 O34 Cl]Cl, NiV14 } in ionic liquid was achieved. The solution displayed a NIR-photothermal efficiency of 16.04 and 23.43 % at 808 and 1064 nm, respectively. Taking advantage of the synergetic thermodiffusive and thermogalvanic effects of various ion species in NiV14 solution, an open circuit voltage of approximately 0.45 V was obtained at ΔT=70 K generated by physical heating or NIR irradiation, indicating a large Seebeck coefficient of 6.38 mV K-1 and an optimized thermal power at 1.2 W m-2 . The polyoxovanadate-ionic liquid system offers a new platform for efficiently utilizing not only low-grade thermal energy but also solar energy for electricity generation.

Abstract
With the growth of photoenergy harvesting and thermal engineering, photothermal materials (PTMs) have attracted substantial interest due to their unique functions such as localized heat generation, spatiotemporal thermal controllability, invisibility, and light harvesting capabilities. In particular, π-conjugated organic PTMs show advantages over inorganic or metallic PTMs in thin film applications due to their large light absorptivity, ease of synthesis and tunability of molecular structures for realizing high NIR absorption, flexibility, and solution processability. This review is intended to provide an overview of organic PTMs, including both molecular and polymeric PTMs. A description of the photothermal (PT) effect and conversion efficiency (ηPT ) for organic films is provided. After that, the chemical structure and optical properties of organic PTMs are discussed. Finally, emerging applications of organic PT films from the perspective of spatiotemporal thermal engineering principles are illustrated.

Abstract
Heat is an abundant but often wasted source of energy. Thus, harvesting just a portion of this tremendous amount of energy holds significant promise for a more sustainable society. While traditional solid-state inorganic semiconductors have dominated the research stage on thermal-to-electrical energy conversion, carbon-based semiconductors have recently attracted a great deal of attention as potential thermoelectric materials for low-temperature energy harvesting, primarily driven by the high abundance of their atomic elements, ease of processing/manufacturing, and intrinsically low thermal conductivity. This quest for new materials has resulted in the discovery of several new kinds of thermoelectric materials and concepts capable of converting a heat flux into an electrical current by means of various types of particles transporting the electric charge: (i) electrons, (ii) ions, and (iii) redox molecules. This has contributed to expanding the applications envisaged for thermoelectric materials far beyond simple conversion of heat into electricity. This is the motivation behind this review. This work is divided in three sections. In the first section, we present the basic principle of the thermoelectric effects when the particles transporting the electric charge are electrons, ions, and redox molecules and describe the conceptual differences between the three thermodiffusion phenomena. In the second section, we review the efforts made on developing devices exploiting these three effects and give a thorough understanding of what limits their performance. In the third section, we review the state-of-the-art thermoelectric materials investigated so far and provide a comprehensive understanding of what limits charge and energy transport in each of these classes of materials.

Abstract
Exploration of effective ways to integrate various functional species into hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) is critically important for their applications but highly challenging. In this study, according to the "bottle-around-ship" strategy, core-shell heterostructure of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and HOFs was fabricated for the first time via a ligand-grafting stepwise method. The UCNPs "core" can effectively upconvert near-infrared (NIR) irradiation (980 nm) into visible light (540 nm and 653 nm), which further excites the perylenediimide-based HOF "shell" through resonance energy transfer. In this way, the nanocomposite inherits the high porosity, excellent photothermal and photodynamic efficiency, NIR photoresponse from two parent materials, achieving intriguing NIR-responsive bacterial inhibition toward Escherichia coli. This study may shed light on the design of functional HOF-based composite materials, not only enriching the HOF library but also broadening the horizon of their potential applications.

Abstract
Modulating photophysical processes is a fundamental way for tuning performance of many organic devices. However, it has not been explored as an effective strategy to manipulate the thermoelectric (TE) conversion of organic semiconductors (OSCs) owing to their critical requirement to carrier concentration (>1018 cm-3 ) and the fact of low exciton separation efficiency in single element OSCs. Here, an electric field modulated photo-thermoelectric (P-TE) effect in an n-type OSC is demonstrated to realize a significant improvement of TE performance. The electrical and spectroscopy characterizations reveal that the electric field gating generates combined modulation of exciton separation, charge screening, and carrier recombination, which produces a more than ten times improvement of photoinduced carrier concentration. These coupled processes contribute to the unconventional Seebeck coefficient (S)-electrical conductivity (σ) trade-off relationship of the photoexcited films, therefore leading to a more than 500% enhancement in the power factor for n-type OTE semiconductors. This work opens a unique way toward state-of-the-art organic P-TE materials for energy harvesting applications.

Abstract
Incorporating ethylene glycols (EGs) into organic semiconductors has become the prominent strategy to increase their dielectric constant. However, EG's contribution to the dielectric constant is due to nuclear relaxations, and therefore, its relevance for various organic electronic applications depends on the time scale of these relaxations, which remains unknown. In this work, by means of a new computational protocol based on polarizable molecular dynamics simulations, the time- and frequency-dependent dielectric constant of a representative fullerene derivative with EG side chains is predicted, the origin of its unusually high dielectric constant is explained, and design suggestions are made to further increase it. Finally, a dielectric relaxation time of ∼1 ns is extracted which suggests that EGs may be too slow to reduce the Coulombic screening in organic photovoltaics but are definitely fast enough for organic thermoelectrics with much lower charge carrier velocities.

Abstract
While numerous near-infrared (NIR) materials have emerged, most of them are strongly colored or black due to the absorption band or tails in the visible region. Here, a highly transparent and soluble NIR-absorbing ionic salt, isobutyl-substituted diimmonium borate (IDI), is synthesized and fabricated, through a solution process, as a thin film that shows a transmittance of over 93% in the whole visible region. A transparent photothermal (PT) film heater is fabricated with the IDI-doped polymer solution, which shows a photothermal conversion efficiency (ηPT ) of 75.2%. Additionally, the prepared PT heater shows a high water evaporation conversion efficiency (ηw ) of 68.8% upon exposure to a 1064 nm laser. Furthermore, the transparent IDI film affords the development of a wireless transparent actuator for the first time, generating a bending angle over 75°, with over 2700 bending cycles. The transparent IDI film creates a hot transparent Venus flytrap and a colorful or fluorescent actuator upon the addition of colorants without losing the actuation properties.

Abstract
High-performance uncooled photodetectors operating in the long-wavelength infrared and terahertz regimes are highly demanded in the military and civilian fields. Photothermoelectric (PTE) detectors, which combine photothermal and thermoelectric conversion processes, can realize ultra-broadband photodetection without the requirement of a cooling unit and external bias. In the last few decades, the responsivity and speed of PTE-based photodetectors have made impressive progress with the discovery of novel thermoelectric materials and the development of nanophotonics. In particular, by introducing hot-carrier transport into low-dimensional material-based PTE detectors, the response time has been successfully pushed down to the picosecond level. Furthermore, with the assistance of surface plasmon, antenna, and phonon absorption, the responsivity of PTE detectors can be significantly enhanced. Beyond the photodetection, PTE effect can also be utilized to probe exotic physical phenomena in spintronics and valleytronics. Herein, recent advances in PTE detectors are summarized, and some potential strategies to further improve the performance are proposed.

Meanwhile, the precise crystal architectures of organic cocrystals, with long-range order as well as free defects, offer the opportunity to unveil the structure-property and charge-transfer-property relationships, which are beneficial to provide some general rules in rational design and choice of functional materials. In this regard, an overview of organic cocrystals in terms of assembly, containing the intermolecular interactions and growth methods, two functionality-related factors including packing structure and charge-transfer nature, and those advanced and novel functionalities, is presented. An outlook of future research directions and challenges for organic cocrystal is also provided.

Abstract
Recently, sustainable green energy harvesting systems have been receiving great attention for their potential use in self-powered smart wireless sensor network (WSN) systems. In particular, though the developed WSN systems are able to advance public good, very high and long-term budgets will be required in order to use them to supply electrical energy through temporary batteries or connecting power cables. This report summarizes recent significant progress in the development of hybrid nanogenerators for a sustainable energy harvesting system that use natural and artificial energies such as solar, wind, wave, heat, machine vibration, and automobile noise. It starts with a brief introduction of energy harvesting systems, and then summarizes the different hybrid energy harvesting systems: integration of mechanical and photovoltaic energy harvesters, integration of mechanical and thermal energy harvesters, integration of thermal and photovoltaic energy harvesters, and others. In terms of the reported hybrid nanogenerators, a systematic summary of their structures, working mechanisms, and output performances is provided. Specifically, electromagnetic induction, triboelectric, piezoelectric, photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and pyroelectric effects are reviewed on the basis of the individual and hybrid power performances of hybrid nanogenerators and their practical applications with various device designs. Finally, the perspectives on and challenges in developing high performance and sustainable hybrid nanogenerator systems are presented.

Abstract
Three random copolymers PE- co -M1, PE- co -M2, and PE- co -M3 were obtained by electrochemical polymerization of donor-acceptor-donor monomers M1, M2, and M3 with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene moiety, respectively, using a 1:1 molar ratio of the corresponding monomers, to find new properties and a more effective way to control the optoelectronic properties in conjugated system. For comparison purpose, polymers P1, P2, and P3 were prepared from the corresponding monomer units M1-M3, respectively, by electrochemical polymerization. We also present efficient synthesis, characterization, and comparative density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the monomers M1-M3 and polymers P1-P3. Cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry, and electrochromic properties of all of the polymers P1-P3 and copolymers PE- co -M1, PE- co -M2, and PE- co -M3 were carried out and a throughout comparison was made. We have shown that electrochemical copolymerization is a powerful strategy to tune the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, band gap, and color of the copolymer. Thus, this finding clearly indicates that the copolymers show significantly different optoelectronic properties compared to their constituent polymers.

Abstract
Radical anions of electron-deficient systems are widely used, but are easily reoxidized upon exposure to air. Therefore, the stabilization of radical anions under ambient conditions is of great significance, but still remains a scientific challenge. Herein, perylenediimide is employed to prepare a crystalline metal-organic framework for stabilizing radical anions without extensive chemical modification. The porous, three-dimensional framework of perylenediimide can trap electron donors such as amine vapors and produce radical anions in-situ through photo-induced electron transfer. The radical anions are protected against quenching by shielding effect in air and remain unobstructed in air for at least a month. Because of the high yield and stability of the radical anions, which are the basis for near-infrared photothermal conversion, the framework shows high near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 52.3%). The work provides an efficient and simple method towards ambient stable radical anions and affords a promising material for photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Hybrid (organic-inorganic) materials have emerged as a promising class of thermoelectric materials, achieving power factors (S2σ) exceeding those of either constituent. The mechanism of this enhancement is still under debate, and pinpointing the underlying physics has proven difficult. In this work, we combine transport measurements with theoretical simulations and first principles calculations on a prototypical PEDOT:PSS-Te(Cux) nanowire hybrid material system to understand the effect of templating and charge redistribution on the thermoelectric performance. Further, we apply the recently developed Kang-Snyder charge transport model to show that scattering of holes in the hybrid system, defined by the energy-dependent scattering parameter, remains the same as in the host polymer matrix; performance is instead dictated by polymer morphology manifested in an energy-independent transport coefficient. We build upon this language to explain thermoelectric behavior in a variety of PEDOT and P3HT based hybrids acting as a guide for future work in multiphase materials. To realize the potential of soft hybrid (inorganic-organic) materials for thermoelectrics, the underlying transport-related physics must be understood. Here, the authors extend the Kang-Synder framework with experimental analysis to gain insight on the thermoelectric transport in hybrid materials.

Implantable Photothermal Agents based on Gold Nanorods-Encapsulated Microcube. Sci Rep 2018; 8:13683.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs) are of great interest in cancer therapy given their ability to ablate tumor cells using deep tissue-penetrating near-infrared light. GNRs coated with tumor-specific moieties have the potential to target tumor tissue to minimize damage to normal tissue. However, perfect targeting is difficult to achieve given that nanoparticles could be broadly dispersed inside the body. Moreover, interaction between targeting groups and biological molecules could lower targeting abilities, resulting in off-target accumulation which might produce nanotoxicity. Here we introduce GNR-encapsulated microcubes (GNR@MCs) that can be utilized as implantable photothermal agents. GNR@MCs are created by encapsulating GNRs in polymeric networks via stop flow lithography (SFL), a one-phase synthesis technique which allows for creation of surfactant-free, uniform particles, and injection of GNR@MCs into the body after a simple rinse step. GNRs are highly packed and firmly encapsulated inside MCs, and entrapped GNRs exhibit optical properties comparable to that of unbound GNRs and photothermal efficiency (58%) in line with that of nano-sized agents (51–95%). Photothermal ablation in murine models is achieved using GNR@MCs stably implanted into the tumor tissue, which suggests that GNR@MCs can be a safe and effective platform for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The integration of two quite different techniques, conventional electrochemistry and spectroscopy, into spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) provides a complete description of chemically driven electron transfer processes and redox events for different kinds of molecules and nanoparticles. SEC possesses interdisciplinary advantages and can further expand the scopes in the fields of analysis and other applications, emphasizing the hot issues of analytical chemistry, materials science, biophysics, chemical biology, and so on.

Abstract
Conductive thiophene-based polymers have garnered great attention for use in organic electron materials such as electrochromic and thermoelectric materials. However, they suffer from poor electron transport properties and long-term stability, leading to limited development eventually. Here, we proposed a strategy of functionalized thiophene-based polymers with oligo(ethylene glycol) or alkyl side chains and synthesized a series of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy bithiophene)s (PEDTs) to tune their electrochromic and thermoelectric properties. An alkyl group bearing electronic ability at the thiophene ring effectively achieved a large increase in the electrical conductivity with nearly invariable Seebeck coefficient, resulting in an enhancement by 1 order of magnitude for the thermoelectric power factor. Moreover, the electrochromic properties of functionalized PEDTs gained an effective improvement in the optical contrast and coloration efficiency as well as stability with multicolor changes between neutral and oxidized states. The functionalized PEDTs can be proposed as an alternative strategy to tune the electrochromic and thermoelectric properties for organic polymer materials.

Abstract
Conjugated backbones play a fundamental role in determining the electronic properties of organic semiconductors. On the basis of two solution-processable dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-diylidenebis(thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) derivatives with aromatic and quinoid structures, we have carried out a systematic study of the relationship between the conjugated-backbone structure and the thermoelectric properties. In particular, a combination of UV-vis-NIR spectra, photoemission spectroscopy, and doping optimization are utilized to probe the interplay between energy levels, chemical doping, and thermoelectric performance. We found that a moderate change in the conjugated backbone leads to varied doping mechanisms and contributes to dramatic changes in the thermoelectric performance. Notably, the chemically doped A-DCV-DPPTT, a small molecule with aromatic structure, exhibits an electrical conductivity of 5.3 S cm-1 and a high power factor (PF373 K) up to 236 μW m-1 K-2, which is 50 times higher than that of Q-DCM-DPPTT with a quinoid structure. More importantly, the low thermal conductivity enables A-DCV-DPPTT to possess a figure of merit (ZT) of 0.23 ± 0.03, which is the highest value reported to date for thermoelectric materials based on organic small molecules. These results demonstrate that the modulation of the conjugated backbone represents a powerful strategy for tuning the electronic structure and mobility of organic semiconductors toward a maximum thermoelectric performance.

Abstract
To achieve efficient n-type doping, three dopants, 2-Cyc-DMBI-H, (2-Cyc-DMBI)2, and (2-Cyc-DMBI-Me)2, with precisely regulated electron-donating ability were designed and synthesized. By doping with a small-molecule 2DQTT-o-OD with high electron mobility, an unexpectedly high power factor of 33.3 μW m-1 K-2 was obtained with the new dopant (2-Cyc-DMBI-Me)2. Notably, with the intrinsically low lateral thermal conductivity of 0.28 W m-1 K-1, the figure of merit was determined to be 0.02 at room temperature. Thus, we have demonstrated that small molecules with high electron mobility and low-lying LUMO energy levels can achieve high doping efficiency and excellent thermoelectric properties by doping with n-type dopants featuring highly matched energy levels and excellent miscibility.

Abstract
An intriguing p-n conversion of thermoelectric property was observed in a water-ionic liquid ([EMIm][Ac]) binary system with precise control over water content. The highest p-type and n-type Seebeck coefficient were optimized at water-[EMIm][Ac] molar ratio of 2:1 and 4:1, respectively. DFT calculation illustrates that a configuration of solvent separation ion pairs is preferred at the water-[EMIm][Ac] molar ratio of 4:1, leading to the p-n conversion through weakening interaction between anion clusters and gold electrodes. Furthermore, p-n thermocapacitive converters were integrated to enhance the output Seebeck voltages. This work opens up new perspectives for harvesting low grade heat with the use of fluidic materials.
