Abstract
Li+ intercalates into a pure face-centered-cubic (fcc) C60 structure instead of being adsorbed on a single C60 molecule. This hinders the excess storage of Li ions in Li-ion batteries, thereby limiting their applications. However, the associated electrochemical processes and mechanisms have not been investigated owing to the low electrochemical reactivity and poor crystallinity of the C60 powder. Herein, a facile method for synthesizing pure fcc C60 nanoparticles with uniform morphology and superior electrochemical performance in both half- and full-cells is demonstrated using a 1 m LiPF6 solution in ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate (1:1 vol%) with 10% fluoroethylene carbonate. The specific capacity of the C60 nanoparticles during the second discharge reaches ≈750 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , approximately twice that of graphite. Moreover, by applying in situ X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and first-principles calculations, an abnormally high Li storage in a crystalline C60 structure is proposed based on the vacant sites among the C60 molecules, Li clusters at different sites, and structural changes during the discharge/charge process. The fcc of C60 transforms tetragonal via orthorhombic Lix C60 and back to the cubic phase during discharge. The presented results will facilitate the development of novel fullerene-based anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
We review some of the most potent directions in the design of materials for next-generation solar cell and light-emitting technologies that go beyond traditional solid-state inorganic semiconductor-based devices, from both the experimental and computational standpoints. We focus on selected recent conceptual advances in tackling issues which are expected to significantly impact applied literature in the coming years. Specifically, we consider solution processability, design of dopant-free charge transport materials, two-dimensional conjugated polymeric semiconductors, and colloidal quantum dot assemblies in the fields of experimental synthesis, characterization, and device fabrication. Key modeling issues that we consider are calculations of optical properties and of effects of aggregation, including recent advances in methods beyond linear-response time-dependent density functional theory and recent insights into the effects of correlation when going beyond the single-particle ansatz as well as in the context of modeling of thermally activated fluorescence.

Abstract
As a representative nanomaterial, C60 and its derivatives have drawn much attention in the field of drug delivery over the past years, due to their unique geometric and electronic structures. Herein, the interactions of hydroxyurea (HU) drug with the pristine C60 and heterofullerene MC59 (M = B, Si, Al) were investigated using the density functional theory calculations. The geometric and electronic properties in terms of adsorption configuration, adsorption energy, Hirshfeld charge, frontier molecular orbitals, and charge density difference are calculated. In contrast to pristine C60, it is found that HU molecule is chemisorbed on the BC59, SiC59, and AlC59 molecules with moderate adsorption energy and apparent charge transfer. Therefore, heterofullerene BC59, SiC59, and AlC59 are expected to be promising carriers for hydroxyurea drug delivery.

Abstract
Development of new functional materials for novel energy conversion and storage technologies is often assisted by ab initio modeling. Specifically, for organic materials, such as electron and hole transport materials for perovskite solar cells, LED (light emitting diodes) emitters for organic LEDs (OLEDs), and active electrode materials for organic batteries, such modeling is often done at the molecular level. Modeling of aggregate-state effects is onerous, as packing may not be known or large simulation cells may be required for amorphous materials. Yet aggregate-state effects are essential to estimate charge transport rates, and they may also have substantial effects on redox potentials (voltages) and optical properties. This paper summarizes recent studies by the author's group of aggregation effects on the electronic properties of organic materials used in optoelectronic devices and in organic batteries. We show that in some cases it is possible to understand the mechanism and predict specific performance characteristics based on simple molecular models, while in other cases the inclusion of effects of aggregation is essential. For example, it is possible to understand the mechanism and predict the overall shape of the voltage-capacity curve for insertion-type organic battery materials, but not the absolute voltage. On the other hand, oligomeric models of p-type organic electrode materials can allow for relatively reliable estimates of voltages. Inclusion of aggregate state modeling is critically important for estimating charge transport rates in materials and interfaces used in optoelectronic devices or when intermolecular charge transfer bands are important. We highlight the use of the semi-empirical DFTB (density functional tight binding) method to simplify such calculations.

Abstract
Low cost, scalability, potentially high energy density, and sustainability make organic magnesium (ion) battery (OMB) technologies a promising alternative to other rechargeable metal-ion battery solutions such as secondary lithium ion batteries (LIB). However, most reported OMB cathode materials have limited performance due to, in particular, low voltages often smaller than 2 V vs. Mg2+/Mg and/or low specific capacities compared to other competing battery technologies, e.g., LIB or sodium ion batteries. While the structural diversity of organic compounds and the large amount of possible chemical modifications potentially allow designing high voltage/capacity OMB electrode materials, the large search space requires efficient exploration of potential molecular-based electrode materials by rational design strategies on an atomistic scale. By means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we provide insights into possible strategies to increase the voltage by changes in electronic states via functionalization, by strain, and by coordination environment of Mg cations. A systematic analysis of these effects is performed on explanatory systems derived from selected prototypical building blocks: five- and six-membered rings with redox-active groups. We demonstrate that voltage increase by direct bandstructure modulation is limited, that strain on the molecular scale can in principle be used to modulate the voltage curve and that the coordination/chemical environment can play an important role to increase the voltage in OMB. We propose molecular structures that could provide voltages for Mg insertion in excess of 3 V.
