Developing a top-notch journal is great yet challenging voyage. To sail steadily and speedily toward the ultimate destination, ship of Aggregate needs compass an engine. The original aspiration publishing high-quality research accomplishments on aggregate science, engine enthusiastic support from scientific community, including authors, reviewers, readers, editorial board members. In past four years, enjoyed successful takeoff followed by high-speed sailing. Now it has arrived at transition point next-stage shipping line, where we should summarize previous performance envision upcoming new voyage broader space. 2024, received 2nd Journal Impact Factor (JIF) 13.9, maintaining Q1 ranking in three categories: "Chemistry, Multidisciplinary", Physical", "Materials Science, Multidisciplinary" based Citation Reports (JCR) 2024 published Clarivate Analytics.

Nanostructure and Photovoltaic Potential of Plasmonic Nanofibrous Active Layers

Small, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Nov. 22, 2024

Abstract Nanofibrous active layers offer hierarchical control over molecular structure, and the size distribution of electron donor:acceptor domains, beyond conventional organic photovoltaic architectures. This structure is created by forming donor pathways via electrospinning nanofibers semiconducting polymer, then infiltrating with an acceptor. Electrospinning induces chain crystallite alignment, resulting in enhanced light‐harvesting charge transport. Here, transport capabilities are predicted, separation dynamics evaluated these layers, to assess their potential. Through X‐ray diffraction, fiber nanostructure elucidated, uniaxial elongation jet aligning polymer backbones within crystallites orthogonal axis, amorphous chains parallel. It revealed that this forms when anisotropic crystallites, pre‐assembled solution, become oriented along fiber– a configuration high Competitive dissociation excitons formed photoactive recorded, 95%+ photoluminescence quenching upon acceptor introduction. Transient absorption studies reveal silver nanoparticle addition fibers improves generation and/or lifetimes. 1 ns post‐excitation, plasmonic architecture contains 45% more polarons, per exciton formed, than bulk heterojunction. Therefore, populations may be successfully translated into additional carriers.
