Abstract
Coumarin dyes are highly versatile and widely employed as fluorescent chemosensors in a variety of fields, including molecular imaging, bioorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, biology, and medical science. Thanks to their outstanding photostability and high quantum yield, they represent an ideal choice for developing sensitive and selective sensing platforms. In this study, we successfully designed and synthesized four new dyes based on the coumarin dye molecular skeleton, investigating their solvent sensitivity and spectroscopic properties. Our novel coumarin dyes were synthesized by a straightforward approach, reacting coumarin-3-carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester derivatives with corresponding amines in 1,4-dioxane as a solvent. We carefully monitored the completion of the reactions using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and characterized these dyes using spectral and elemental analyses. We further investigated the UV, fluorescence, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technique and time-resolved spectroscopy (TRES) of these dyes in different solvents and on polymer film poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The quantum yield of the synthesized dyes was determined, with values observed to range between 0.55 and 0.94. Most of the dye-solvent and dye-polymer combinations exhibited single exponential decay, with lifetimes ranging from 2.3 to 3 ns. Minor deviations from single exponential behavior were observed for most of the dyes in toluene, while significant deviations were observed for coumarin dyes with piperazine moiety. We have provided a rationalization of these results in terms of the chemical functionalities of the various dyes. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of interactions between 7-methoxy-2-oxo-N-(2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide and silica nanoparticles (Ludox) on the spectroscopic properties of these dyes, with charge transfer being one possible mechanism contributing to the behavior of the dyes. Additionally, we explored the effect of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) on the dyes' emission intensity and fluorescence decay. Based on our UV and fluorescence measurements of the dyes in different solvents, we have concluded that these dyes can create excellent donor-acceptor pairs for our upcoming fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments.

Abstract
Herein, we report the preparation of 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-2,5(6H)-diones 3a-x by reacting 4-hydroxycoumarins 1a-b with Baylis-Hillman adducts 2a-w having electron releasing or electron withdrawing groups on benzyl ring of the pyranochromene moiety and study of their photophysical properties. The study of optical and electrochemical properties of the prepared compounds reveals that the electron releasing and electron withdrawing groups has not much impact on ground and excited state electronic behavior on pyranochromene moiety. The density functional theory suggests the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals spread on coumarin moiety of pyranochromene unit. Further, these compounds are thermally stable (up to 200 °C) and lead to blue or green emission that should facilitate the development of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Abstract
The design of photo-responsive supramolecular hydrogels based on coumarin dimerization and de-dimerization is described. The photo-responsive coumarin unit is chemically incorporated into an oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) bis-urea amphiphile that is capable of co-assembling with non-functionalized OEG amphiphile, to form supramolecular fibers. UV light with two different wavelengths (365 nm and 254 nm) is employed to induce a photo-reversible dimerization and de-dimerization process of coumarin units, respectively. The co-assembled solutions could be photo-crosslinked to induce a sol-to-gel transition through dimerization of coumarin with 365 nm UV light, and de-dimerization occurs with 254 nm UV light, to provide a weaker gel. In this system, the mechanical strength of supramolecular hydrogels can be tuned using the irradiation time, providing precise control of gelation in a supramolecular hydrogelator.

Abstract
Ternary blending based on an alloy-like model has been proved as an efficient strategy for high-efficiency organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the third component that possesses excellent miscibility with host materials in the alloy-like model may trigger adverse effects for the active layer, especially at a high doping ratio. In this work, we propose a new concept of nonalloy model for the ternary OSCs in which the third component presents moderate miscibility with the acceptor and distributes at the interspace between donor and acceptor domains. The nonalloy model is constructed based on the PM6:Y6 system, and a Y6 analogue (BTP-MCA) is synthesized as the third component. The BTP-MCA can maintain initial excellent morphology of the active layer and enhance the morphological stability by acting as a frame around the host materials. As a result, ternary OSCs based on the PM6:Y6:BTP-MCA blend exhibit an impressive efficiency of 17.0% with a high open-circuit voltage of 0.87 V. Moreover, the devices present a high doping tolerance (keeping high efficiency with a doping ratio of 50%) and improved stability. This work indicates that the nonalloy model can be a promising method to fabricate efficient and stable ternary OSCs apart from the conventional alloy-like model.

Abstract
In this article combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations and corresponding experimental measurements, the adsorption behaviors and working mechanism of the alcohol-soluble ionic organic interlayer on different electrode substrates were studied. The results suggest that, when the ionic organic bipyridine salt interlayer (FPyBr) is adsorbed on the Ag surface, Br- will break away from molecule chains and form new chemical bonds with the Ag substrate, as confirmed by both the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study and DFT study for the first time. Charges are further found to transfer to the Ag substrate from the new interlayer molecular structure without Br-, resulting in adsorption dipoles directed from Ag to the interlayer. Moreover, the direction of the intrinsic dipole of the molecule itself on the Ag substrate is also verified, which is the same as that of the adsorption dipole. Subsequently, the superposition of the two dipoles results in a large reduction of the Ag substrate work function. In addition, the dipole formation mechanism of the interlayer on the ITO surface was also studied. The change in the work function of the ITO substrate by this interlayer is found to be smaller than that of Ag as confirmed by both a DFT study and scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM) results, which is mainly due to the reversed direction of the molecular intrinsic dipole with respect to the interfacial dipole. The worst device performance of organic solar cells based on the ITO-FPyBr substrate is considered to be one of the consequences of the feature. The findings here are of great importance for the study of the mechanism of the ionic organic interlayer in organic electronic devices, providing insightful understandings on how to further improve the material and device performance.

Abstract
Potassium-ion capacitors (KICs) have received a surge of interest because of their higher reserves and lower costs of potassium than lithium. However, the cycle performance and capacity of potassium devices have been reported to be unsatisfactory. Herein, a unique crystalline MnCo2O4.5 and amorphous MnCo2S4 core/shell nanoscale flower structure grown on graphene (MCO@MCS@rGO) was synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal process and demonstrated in KICs. The MCO@MCS@rGO exhibits improved electrical conductivity and excellent structural integrity during the charging and discharging process. The reasons could be attributed to the cavity structure of MCO, the mechanical buffer and high electrolyte diffusion rate of MCS, and the auxiliary effect of graphene. The electrical conductivity of MCO@MCS shows a specific capacity of 272.3 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles at 1 A g-1 and a capacity of 125.6 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1. Besides, the MCO@MCS@rGO and high-surface-area activated carbon in KICs exhibit a relative energy density of 85.3 W h kg-1 and a power density of 9000 W kg-1 and outstanding cycling stability with a capacity retention of 76.6% after 5000 cycles. Moreover, the reaction mechanism of MCO@MCS@rGO in the K-ion cell was investigated systematically using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, providing guidance on the further development of pseudocapacitive materials.
