Abstract
As an emerging metal-organic framework (MOF) material in recent years, the MOF-303 membrane has shown great potential applications in seawater desalination, dehydration, and atmospheric water harvesting. Herein, we report on a dense and uniform MOF-303 membrane fabricated by a facile in situ hydrothermal synthesis approach in the presence of an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) channel membrane acting as the only Al source and substrate. Interestingly, the MOF-303 isomer can be obtained due to an insufficient amount of organic ligand caused by the less hydrophilic and larger pore size of the AAO substrate. The MOF-based composite membranes possessed surface-charge-governed ionic transport behavior. Moreover, the MOF-303/AAO membrane yielded an output power density of 1.87 W/m2 under a 50-fold KCl concentration gradient. Under a 50-fold gradient of artificial seawater and river water, a maximum power density of 1.46 W/m2 can be obtained. After 30 days of stability testing, the composite membrane still maintained the power output, and the power density was higher than 1.20 W/m2. This work provides a facile and effective strategy for constructing Al-based MOF composite membranes and boosts their applications in harvesting salinity-gradient energy.

Abstract
It is urgent to address climate change by radically changing our energy sources. Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a competitive clean energy emerging technology and will undoubtedly have a market niche in a world that needs to take advantage of every possible type of renewable energy. Recent studies have brought relevant improvements on internal efficiency, focusing on two properties at the interface: energetic disorder and bending. However, how positional disorder affects internal efficiency is still an open question. Here, we show that positional disorder is desired at the interface, but only up to a threshold value of 0.2 nm for poly p-phenylene vinylene. Using a kinetic Monte Carlo simulator, we realized that not enough excitons were reaching the interface, and introduced the Beer-Lambert law of attenuance to correct it. Furthermore, we realized that the same disorder that facilitates charge separation at the interface diminishes exciton and charge mobility in bulk, so we propose here a new morphology for the active layer of OPVs. Our suggestion implicates in better overall performance, improving not just the internal but the overall cell efficiency.

Abstract
One of the challenges for modern optoelectronics is to find versatile, easily adaptable components for novel laser-based technologies. A very attractive perylene-derivative chromophore in different organic matrices for high-performance light amplification is discussed and outlined. Our approach demonstrates the outstandingly compatible laser dye and a viable strategy to provide an effective optical gain for stimulated emission enhancement. Through structural control, we produce simple optical devices embedded in organic matrices, such as poly(methyl methacrylate), nematic liquid crystalline (NLC) mixture, and a hybrid emulsion system (poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA + NLC mesophase). Importantly, we investigate and compare the spectroscopy of differently constructed organic systems in terms of stimulated-emission thresholds and light amplification process efficiency. Moreover, we report the effects of tunability for LC cells by an applied external electric field stimulus. Future directions of laser systems are outlined with an emphasis on the role of the perylene derivative. The studies meet current challenges in the field of modern organic technologies dedicated to various optoelectronic systems, including touch screens, displays, and Li-Fi networks.

Abstract
Monolayer MoS2 has attracted much attention due to its high on/off current ratio, transparency, and suitability for optoelectronic devices. Surface doping by molecular adsorption has proven to be an effective method to facilitate the usage of MoS2. However, there are no works available to systematically clarify the effects of the adsorption of F4TCNQ, PTCDA, and tetracene on the electronic and optical properties of the material. Therefore, this work elucidated the problem by using density functional theory calculations. We found that the adsorption of F4TCNQ and PTCDA turns MoS2 into a p-type semiconductor, while the tetracene converts MoS2 into an n-type semiconductor. The occurrence of a new energy level in the conduction band for F4TCNQ and PTCDA and the valence band for tetracene reduces the bandgap of the monolayer MoS2. Besides, the MoS2/F4TCNQ and MoS2/PTCDA systems exhibit an auxiliary optical peak at the long wavelengths of 950 and 850 nm, respectively. Contrastingly, the MoS2/tetracene modifies the optical spectrum of the monolayer MoS2 only in the ultraviolet region. The findings are in good agreement with the experiments.

Abstract
Free-standing films of metal octaethylporphyrins (MOEPs) were prepared for the first time by a physical vapor deposition on surface of an ionic liquid (IL). Different from those on solid surfaces, the as-obtained films were very compact and with plannar structure. The monitoring of time-dependent process indicated that the high surface energy of IL and the strong π…π interaction between MOEP molecules played key roles in forming such films. Furthermore, the as-obtained film showed good transferability, which made it possible to be easily transferred to any substrates for further device application. More importantly, the prototype photodetectors based on free-standing films of MOEP showed ultra flexibility, mechanical stability, and durability.
