Two decades after the rapid expansion of photovoltaics, number solar panels reaching end-of-life is increasing. While precious metals such as silver and copper are usually recycled, silicon, which makes up bulk a cells, goes to landfills. This due defect- impurity-sensitive nature in most silicon-based technologies, rendering it uneconomical purify waste silicon. Thermoelectrics represents rare class material defects impurities can be engineered enhance performance. because majority-carrier...

The ability to rationally design and predictably construct crystalline solids has been the hallmark of crystal engineering research. To date, numerous examples multicomponent crystals comprising organic molecules have reported. However, cocrystals both inorganic chemical units is still poorly understood mostly unexplored.

Mechanochemistry is emerging as a powerful solvent-free approach to chemical synthesis, having been applied metal oxides, pharmaceutical materials, organic compounds and lesser extent, coordination complex synthesis. Notably, examples of applications mechanochemical methodologies in the synthesis main-group are few far between. Herein, we demonstrate that ball milling enabled range phosphazane frameworks with broad substrate scope, yielding seven new acyclic macrocyclic species. The strength...

Mixed-dimensional perovskites containing mixtures of organic cations hold great promise to deliver highly stable and efficient solar cells. However, although a plethora relatively bulky have been reported for such purposes, fundamental understanding the materials' structure, composition, phase, along with their correlated effects on corresponding optoelectronic properties degradation mechanism remains elusive. Herein, we systematically engineer structures template low-dimensional contrasting...

The massive adoption of renewable energy especially photovoltaic (PVs) panels is expected to create a huge waste stream once they reach end-of-life (EoL). Despite having the highest embodied energy, present recycling neglects high purity silicon found in PV cell. Herein, scalable and low process developed recover pristine from EoL solar panel through method which avoids energy-intensive temperature processes. extracted was upcycled form lithium-ion battery anodes with performances comparable...

We have synthesized a completely new family of acyclic trimeric cyclodiphosphazane compounds comprising NH, Ni Pr, Nt Bu and NPh bridging groups. In addition, the first NH-bridged dimeric cyclophosphazane has been produced. The species display highly tuneable characteristics so that distance between terminal N(H)R moieties can be readily modulated by steric bulk present in groups (ranging from ≈6 to ≈10 Å). Moreover, these exhibit pronounced topological changes when weak non-bonding NH⋅⋅⋅π...

Inorganic macrocycles remain challenging synthetic targets due to the limited number of strategies reported for their syntheses. Among these species, large fully inorganic cyclodiphosphazane have been experimentally and theoretically highlighted as promising candidates supramolecular chemistry. In contrast, hybrid organic-inorganic counterparts are lagging behind lack routes capable controlling size topological arrangement (i.e., folded vs unfolded) target macrocycle, rendering synthesis...
